What’d you end up on, out of curiosity? I was on Fedora for a couple years, but with the whole Red Hat thing (that I don’t fully understand the implications of), I switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed. Still have love for Mint, though, after all these years.

I just wish it had a precipitation radar. I’m pretty sure the data is available because I’ve seen another FOSS app that had it, but I can’t remember which now.

Nothing broken or nonfunctional or anything. I’ve just been more of a fan of Cinnamon (and Xfce before that). I hadn’t tried Plasma in any real capacity in years, so figured I’d see where it’s at now; it’s fine. So they’re more complaints than issues - “old man yells at cloud”-type stuff because I have to figure out everything again, which is frustrating when you have a workflow.

Coming from Fedora/Cinnamon, I went with Tumbleweed/Plasma. As dumb as it sounds, checking out those “X things to do after installing openSUSE Tumbleweed” articles really helps get the ball rolling with adding the Packman repo, using opi for codecs, installing MS Fonts for compatibility, and other basic quality-of-life things like that. YaST does a lot of heavy lifting and hand holding, which can be good or bad depending on your Linux journey, experience, and/or philosophy - but it is very convenient. Honestly, like with anything Linux, you just kind of adjust til you find things you don’t like - which, to be honest, my main list of things is less with openSUSE itself and more with KDE Plasma.

I guess that’s a long way to say, I’ve been fine and haven’t missed Fedora.

After 3 years on Fedora, the distro that finally made me stop hopping, I moved to openSUSE when I installed a new SSD. I have no idea what the future holds, but I’m good with switching now when convenient rather than later.
