From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've settled on openSUSE and Fedora. All my personal systems are currently on some version of openSUSE but zypper sucks so I'm considering the move back to Fedora. Oh and my son and wife's laptops are on Fedora just cause I never moved them to openSUSE.
in my personal opinion, the problems you'll have on fedora outweigh only having to deal with zypper being slow
What sort of problems do you have with Fedora? I used it for years and my wife has been using it for a while with no complaints.
I game, so I often need my graphics stack patched with less than open-source patches, which you have to figure out for yourself on Fedora. I also had issues with..i think it was SELinux, since I had never used it before but it's on by default in Fedora. But that was more of a "I've never used this before wtf do i do" than "wtf bad"
