I gave it months. I was honest with myself about it.

Looks at release date of Fedora 44.

April 28, 2026

It hasn't even been one month.

You forgot this part

The beta was excellent

But yes, you should not compare with beta version.

be debain.

I run lots of hypervisor boxes and many many many multiples more vm guests. debian makes my days 99.9% predictable (unless I choose otherwise).

debian gave me my life back.

debian gave me my life back.

it enabled my life; my profession would be different and its impact on my life (ie payrate & mobility) cannot be understated.

i would have been a factory or domestic worker like my parents and siblings.

And that's not the release. What a ridiculous thing to compare to stable.
