I would like to add more.

I really like being able to just install, update, and remove programs using the “dnf” and “flatpak” commands, it is super nice and simple! I have accidentally removed an audio driver once, but after reinstallation it worked again.

KDE Connect and Localsend are both super awesome, no more words need to be said

I got into self-hosting as well, setting up Radicale, Immich, Forgejo, Nextcloud, Vikunja, and the aforementioned Minecraft server. They work quite well for my use case.

Removing myself from Window’s incessant adverts and Microsoft’s tracking feels like a breath of fresh air

The printer just works

The fact that you can just change from GNOME to KDE Plasma to whatever else without reinstalling the OS is kind of insane to me. You can even install multiple at once and switch between them!

The OS actually lets you do the things you want to do (the power of sudo is in my hands!)

You’re able to install it without signing into an account and without an internet connection, as it should.

The fact that there are no incessant advertising and marketing and all this other crap for no cost! I applaud everyone who develops these super cool software, technologies, and operating systems, and if you can, donate to projects that help you a lot!
