Impressive. :)

What is the benefit of building / manipulating packages?

I cannot imagine someone staying in windows for outlook…

Note, that it is still in experimental state.

Thank you for all of this, but a vpn solution won’t work for me as I run a VPN all the time on all my machines.

If you game, definitely Fedora. If its mostly work, it doesn’t really matter…

FYI is going to include opt out telemetry in the near future if the proposal ends up passing. (If its not already decided)

You could also check out Opensuse Tumbleweed, since it’s future proof and requires zero maintenance unlike arch. However, Arch is definitely one the most minimal distros.

I fas as I am aware, Ubuntu ships codecs by default.

Fedora does not ship proprietary software due to license issues.

*This is just what I know, you should fact check both.

It is definitely not, at least for me when I switched to Linux.

Haha the pain of finding out…

Didn’t you notice the decreased quality?

If you ever get bored of Ubuntu. You could try fedora kde, the recent versions are so good.

Don’t forget to install codecs though.
