People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint’s old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?

No, Fedora is semi-rolling with less random freezes. Regular Ubuntu is similar but just not Ubuntu please.

Fedora also had 13 months of support so staying on the older version gives an extra stability.

And then there is OpenSUSE slowroll, which is CI/CD with more testing

Fedora is not rolling at all, it just has a fast release cycle

It is semi-rolling. They ship different point releases and kernels within a release

Hmm… If that’s the case, that’s news to me. I’ll admit I don’t do much with Fedora, I’ll have to take a closer look at them.
