Cutting Edge Fedora Linux without reliance on Flatpaks - Ultramarine 43 KDE

Fedora has gone all in on Flatpaks - not a trend that I like.

Fortunately, there are a few Fedora derivatives that give you more choice along with more easily providing codecs and drivers that Fedora chose to omit.

Fedora, a community driven child of corporate Redhat Enterprise Linux, is known for its latest software updates.

If you like Fedora but dislike Snaps and Flatpaks except when there is no other option, I recommend taking a look at the new Ultramarine 43 KDE Linux. If you don't need the latest software updates, I use Debian-based MX 25 KDE Linux.
