Hello. These questions are self-hosting related, but I feel they do partially belong here as they are also about fedora linux in general. I have a server which is currently running Debian. It has an arc GPU, and no matter what I do, video encoding refuses to work. I was thinking I might move it to Fedora, but have some questions first.
- How are Fedora’s updates? I believe they are about once a year, so how is it to switch between versions? I can deal with annual maintenance, but don’t want weird issues causing downtime.
- Also about updates, how should I do auto updates on fedora?
- I am currently on apparmor. I know seLinux has more features, but I have also heard that it can be annoying to deal with.
- I mentioned the arc GPU. Has anyone managed to get video encoding working on it on fedora? If so how?
Edit: also, how is it to move a raid over. It is mdadm raid 5 with ext4. It is VERY important that nothing happens to the data, unfortunately I have not yet implemented a backup, although I do intend to soon.
I’ve personally had issues with Fedora’s version updates - once with Fedora and another with Nobara (which is Fedora based). In both cases, dependency conflicts broke the update and they were a considerable pain to fix. It was enough for me to switch to a rolling release distro and never look back.
