Analysis: switch the base to Fedora
Split out of https://invent.kde.org/kde-linux/kde-linux/-/issues/424 ## Pros - Secure boot supported out of the box (unless we want to pre-install any unsigned out-of-tree modules…) - Has stable releases with real QA - Being RPM-based, more weird drivers are available (they're often distributed by the vendor as .deb or .rpm packages) - Has a version of ffmpeg without patent-encumbered codecs - Packages have changelogs we can parse and send along to the user in Discover - Cultural proximity between KDE people and Fedora people - Better-developed multi-arch support ## Cons - Not the status quo; some amount of work and disruption to make it happen - If we use their stable releases, we're tied at least somewhat to their release schedule Feel free to discuss in the comments, and suggest more pros or cons.
