    If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the issue with Fedora? It doesn’t have really old packages like RedHat or CentOS. And things are voted on by the community (yes RedHat has made proposals, but a lot of them fail).

    I mostly agree with you, on RHEL and CentOS tho and on Debian.

    Haven’t tried Gentoo tho.

      From memory it has a different layout in /etc, /use, and /opt that kept tripping me up. Simple things seemed harder. I do a fair amount in older versions of Java that caused problems. It’s been a while though, so things have likely changed.

        Oh yeah, I somehow blocked that from my memory. I ran into that too. Iirc they mostly fixed it but I think Java is still different, which is weird to be honest.
