woelk did make a good point that based on submission processes, Fedora Main is basically their equivalent of Ubuntu Universe, though.

that doesn’t really change what I’ve said

I think you’ve taken my comment in the opposite direction of what I’ve intended and being a little grumpy as a result.

It’s a really bad idea to have two package managers overlap (this is also why more “cross-system” package managers like nix and brew are okay: they consciously install to separate paths to avoid overlapping)

Fedora does not offer APT repositories, so if you somehow don’t overlap and pretty much exclusively use APT, you’re pretty much just converting your distro to Debian (or whatever’s providing your repos). In the forums we call this a Frankenstein; support is seldom given for raising the dead.

Ubuntu Universe does not have licensing issues. Ubuntu’s nonfree repository is Multiverse. Universe is just the community- as opposed to project-maintained one

i’m not sure what that has to do with the argument

(curious, though: does the Fedora project even have an equivalent to universe? I also thought that OBS didn’t have security updates just like the AUR doesn’t.)

Client-side data collection is opt-in and open-source: https://www.zdnet.com/article/canonicals-ubuntu-telemetry/ If you’re talking server-side collection we don’t know about, I’d call for burden of proof since neither Ubuntu nor Debian have relevant history of collection and that would probably violate the Privacy Policy.

alex is comparing Ubuntu Pro to the soup kitchen

you can elect to sign up to Ubuntu pro without paying any money

Ubuntu Pro is free for personal use on up to five machines.

Also note that Universe is the community-maintained repository, sort of like the AUR but the community also reviews package creations. The Main repository is maintained by the Ubuntu Project and has always had free security updates.

If you want a beginner-friendly Arch distro I would recommend endeavourOS (though note that it doesn’t include package manager GUI by default and I like how terminal-centric it is)

is it just me or does especially the text read AI-generated?
