## What I like
Shipping with a newer kernel was at first the main reason why I switched to Fedora in the first place. Thanks to my laptop having a terrible ACPI implementation it would never wake up from sleep. I could have compiled a newer kernel onto another distribution (I think I was using MX at the time), in fact I tried multiple times. On my laptop it took forever to do so and I'd always miss out on a step or not install a driver. In the end I gave up and as I had been using Fedora at Freeside and liked it, I thought I'd give it a try. It's still on my machine a year later, and the up to date software is also a big plus, I'm not stuck compiling from source code 😛

## What I don't like
I have found DNF (the package manager) to be rather slow, even a basic search or updating mirrors can take what feels like an age - even on a fast machine with a good internet connection.
While having up to date versions of software is nice sometimes and I think i've only had one issue with things being too new and breaking. During the Fedora 37 beta, I tried upgrading and found my install of [Pyinfra](https://pyinfra.com/) had broken due to Python being upgraded from 3.10 to 3.11. Reinstalling didn't help but these issues cover the problem [1](https://github.com/pypa/pipx/issues/791)/[2](https://github.com/pypa/pipx/issues/886).

Local package searching with rpm is fine, just searching global packages is awfully slow. Yes there are workarounds but by default it feels sluggish.
