The author raises some good questions about the licensing of the core utils. Why the MIT license? Why not stick to GNU GPL?

Linux Mint is a good choice but it doesn't come with a GNOME flavour by default. You can install it yourself if you want, though.

I moved to Fedora after leaving Ubuntu. Worked fine for me, but you'll have to re-train your muscle memory for some terminal commands. sudo apt install becomes sudo dnf install and rpm is a little different from dpkg. Other than that, with the Dash to Dock extension, Fedora feels exactly the same as Ubuntu to me.

the bigger difference with dnf is instead of apt update && upgrade it's dnf upgrade --refresh

Why does dnf always default to n in y/n questions? That is annoying to me

[-] Encephalotrocity@feddit.online 3 points 2 weeks ago

you can add the flag -y if it helps

It doesn't really. I want to see what the installer wants to do before agreeing to it, but I want to usually agree with it, if that makes sense.

So does pacman, I don't see what package manager doesn't confirm with y/n for safety.

With apt it defaults to (Y/n) rather than dnf's (y/N) that's what I'm talking about.

Ah you mean the capitalisation.

[-] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

The capitalization indicates what happens if you press enter.
