Cheers for letting me know!
if your comfortable with it, go for it -I think that's the important part.

You should be good if you keep your system updated, a seperate home partition is a good idea.
In the end, we all use (GNU/)Linux. I think the differences are often exaggerated here. Sure, your package manager may vary but under the hood they tend to be quite similar (apart from being immutable or other special cases).

Have fun with Endeavour, fellow wanderer and thanks for the thread, it was a quite interesting read!

My vote would be Fedora, too. I've been hopping between distros for 16 years now. Funnily enough, I switched from Arch to Fedora.
And it just works, no broken dependencies or breaking a sweat when you forgot to update for two weeks.

If you can get used to the concept of an immutable file system (as discussed by @Guenther_Amanita) + flatpaks, it is really a smooth system without hassle. You should upgrade to the next version every 6 months - worked flawlessly for me the last two times (you should do backups before obviously).

Lack of AUR could be a thing - how much do you use it? I would say, that is the only weak point for Fedora regarding your requirements.

For me, it's the perfect balance between recent packages , stability, and user experience.

Please let us know what you decided and why - I am curious to hear about your reasons!

Apologies, your reply slipped through somehow. Thanks for fixing the links an dincreasing the font size - now it's perfect!
Will definitvely be visting your blog regularly!

@funkmunki you have a bunch of interesting articles on your side and I'll be re-visiting surely!
One suggestion: Could you perhaps increase your base font size a bit? I believe it would be easier to read your articles this way.
And could you please check the links to the self-hosted assets here:
https://selfhostit.dev/front-matter-cms/.
Would be very interested in Front Matter and your perspective on it.

Cheers and thanks for sharing so many interesting topics with us!

Edit: amended @funkmunki's handle

I use this as my daily driver in my car, Can recommend!

Depending on your needs, take a closer look at Mobilizon (similar to Facebook Groups and Pages) or Bonfire (modular ecosystem with different apps).

I believe both are great federated tools for community building.

Did yearly donation via librapay, it's a worthy project. Really appreciate your transparency and all the good work you do @ernest!

I know it as Gong Fu Style brewing, Very delicious and you get to know your tea better with every infusion. Would only recommend for aficionados, but if you love tea, I'd definitively recommend giving it a try. You will taste tea differently afterwards.

For those brave enough to go down this rabbit hole: enjoy

Happy to help! Please let us know what you think about it after your deep dive.
Love to browse pods for obscure (mostly electronic) music and the community is very warm and welcoming in my experience.
I have yet to finda podcast that captivates me.

Would love to hear your opinion (and maybe some gems you found) on #Funkwhale !

I know it's not exactly the same, but take a look at https://funkwhale.audio/. A bit like grooveshark for the Fediverse. Maybe this could ease the heartbreak a bit?

I second this. Switched from FBReader (Freemium, not opensource)

You might try to learn somehting to connect better to your body. could be anything from sports, Tai Chi, Qigong really. Since I started to practise Qigong every day, i became less clumsy and even if somehting slips out of my grip I can grab it before it hits the floor now, really neat!

Been on Linux for 17 years and have to say it has changed from what you expected to what you got

I quite like https://tokybook.com/
Give it a look and see if anything tickles your fancy
