Fedora is solid, but I keep finding myself tempted to try something new. Maybe I get bored easily—or maybe I just haven’t found the one yet.

Here’s what I’m really looking for:

🔹 Large and fast app repository – I want access to a wide range of apps, updated quickly, without weird dependency issues.

🔹 Great UI/UX – KDE is my current favorite. I love how modern and smooth it feels, and I want something that builds on that experience.

🔹 Stability without being outdated – I don’t mind rolling release if it’s reliable. Crashes and breakages are a dealbreaker.

🔹 Good extras – Whether it’s unique tools, deep customization options, or just thoughtful polish, I love a distro with a “complete” feel.

🔹 Active community/support – Docs, forums, or anything that helps when things go wrong.

Fedora already provides what you want. So you just get bored, not haven’t found the one yet.

What would you recommend and why? Any underrated KDE-based distro I should check out?

You better check out KaOS, Nitrux, ALT Linux, and OpenMandriva

Also, if you can, please share some of the best (and free) resources to really learn and master Linux. I’m still learning and only know some basics, but I want to go deeper and really understand how things work under the hood.

LFS book is good resource if you want to know about Linux OS components. Arch Wiki (I’m sure you already know about this), Void Linux Handbook, and Gentoo Wiki are also good resources for learning about Linux OS

Xfce, and Cinnamon. You can’t force me to choose just one.

Facism is a way of doing things

Fascism is an ideology, not way of doing things.

One just doesnt call them that. Leninists, maoists, stalinists, tankies

If they are fascists, why did Hitler attack them?

system-config-date is what I am looking for! Is this still actively developed?

I am looking for graphical programs to set the system date and time to replace gnome-system-tools

I’m fine with gnome-system-tools. I just want a program that is dedicated to system date and time settings because gnome-system-tools has 3 functions, namely user and group, date and time and samba

No, what I mean is the date and time settings program. Not date and time settings page

federated browser

Do you mean something like CENO Browser and TOR Browser?

If your hardware supports linux-libre and you don’t consume DRM content (If you don’t know. Widevine is the cause), it’s better to use that. If not, then you can use Debian/LMDE which can only use the blobs your hardware requires.

My only reason for wanting to stay with the stock kernel is because its better maintained and gets audited more

linux-libre used by Trisquel GNU+Linux which used by FSF. So don’t worry.

Can the blobs from the stock kernel be a vulnerbility?

This is not the thing to worry about. Vulnerability is normal because we are human. What is worrying is that blobs are non-libre and you are dependent on the blob developer to care. If the blob developer cares, then great. If not, then you are done. Also, this is a matter of trust. We cannot know what blobs are doing because they are non-libre.

Package based distro doesn’t has any relation with immutability. NixOS and GuixSD are package based distro and they are immutable.

Sorry if my english is bad
