6 months agoNot OP, but my reasons for choosing Fedora is, it just works. I use the Atomic version of it which is an image based operating system. Installing packages or updates does not leave the system unstable. I can simply rollback to previous version. Also Fedora pushes entire Linux community forward by adopting potential technologies like Flatpak, PipeWire, Wayland etc earlier compared to other distros.
(I also run NixOS which I believe has more potential and solves many problems than Fedora).
Having said that there are two downsides to Fedora.
- Fedora is closely associated with Red Hat. I wish it is purely community driven.
- Fedora does not offer LTS kernels (Maybe it would threaten Red Hat, if Fedora is too stable).
Iced is a Rust GUI toolkit which is high level than any existing toolkits including Qt, GTK etc. System76’s COSMIC desktop is developed using Iced. I believe Iced will replace Qt and GTK in Linux space in coming years.
Rust is not only for low level programs, but it’s a general purpose high level language for any kind of applications. If the OP wants to go high level than Rust, there’s always Haskell which is an older cousin of Rust but with more functional and higher level abstractions.
