I wonder if the fact that human civilization has lasted and flourished for so long is just a stroke of luck then…

But the self-interest argument falls apart when you look at it from a cost/benefit standpoint.

I agree, and this is a much better way to define “self interest” too.

Yeah, Fedora is a really sane and stable distro in my experience. It supports almost everything that can be supported, I have never had to hunt down fixes for malfunctioning hardware.

Whenever I have to install linux somewhere, it’s either Fedora or Debian depending on how often I want to open the machine. I’m already used to both the distros and their package managers, and both always “just work” for my purposes.
