I mean, if this is a package manager challenge then a distro is just a package manager

And in a lot of ways, it kind of is - now that most distros are using systemd and most distros have all the same stuff in the repos, a distro - in the sense of how different they feel to use - is basically just swapping package managers.

(Distro maintainers, don’t misunderstand! You folks do way more than just zip up a package manager! Your work is crazy hard and we appreciate you!)

So if a distro is more than just the package manager, what would that mean:

1. Default desktop env; obv a big one for Fedora since RH drives both Fedora and Gnome;
2. Community; another big one for Fedora since it has one and it’s a pretty great one
3. …? Idk this isn’t like an essay I had planned, I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head ;)

Point one, yes, OP has betrayed the spirit of Fedora because Gnome isn’t featured in the screenshot - but if we didn’t know better, there’s not actually much in the screenshot that can’t be done in Gnome

Point 2: any time you’re using a smaller-community WM or DE, yes, you’re going to have to reach beyond the distro’s community - but for a lot of stuff, you’re still in the Fedora community;

Point 2.5 - and, when posting screens to unixporn communities, the F is what matters; it’s representation, it’s demonstrating what’s possible, it’s showing that Fedora is a viable choice for new ricers that aren’t aware that you can rice any distro; and - maybe most important - it’s cool - OP is literally improving fedora’s reputation by posting something awesome that uses it

This isn’t a comment to argue, it’s meant as a discussion - what would make it more fedora-ish and less of a package manager challenge?

I feel like you’re implying that there are categories of content that don’t belong to one of those two groups and tbh I can’t think of any
