I have been running pop 90% of the time, sometimes trying out new distros. So a week ago I saw that Pop_OS! was updated to match the latest release of Ubuntu and decided to perform a full upgrade.
The upgrade process worked but for some reason it felt more like Ubuntu than Pop... (all in my head, I am sure). So I decided, now was a good time to try out Fedora 30 which was recently released.
So I did. I installed Fedora 30. I think without a doubt this was the worst release of Fedora in awhile. Performance was sketchy. My tracker processes were constantly failing. Base memory usage was > 2 GB. Right now, running multiple applications on Pop I am using 2.2 GB (multiple terminals, browsers, etc.) I do not have tracker failures. Everything is smooth.
Prior to this I had sung praises over how smooth and performant Fedora was, but not this time.
I did a full install of Pop (twice actually as I did not like the partitioning they default to and they do not allow you to interfere very much in that regard). Back to what I enjoyed for 90% of the past year with linux.
I haven't had a lot of time to write lately as work has been taking between 10 and 14 hours of my day recently, consistently. But to be honest, the work I am doing right now is fun! So the days are flying by.
Well, that is about it for now. God bless you an keep you and yours safe!
