This was one of the reasons I left Fedora and went to Debian. I had
been tired of the frequent release cycle, and some of the politics,
but the fact they would be earlier than other distros in deprecating
X11 pushed me to Debian. Nothing against Wayland per-se, but it
breaks some X applications, and my Window Manager.

I stopped using Fedora when they were removing code from openssl for

It wasn't just flags in the SRPM that disabled elliptical-curve

they actually took the code for ECC out of openssl.

Because when I realized Red Hat was telling the Fedora maintainers to
remove code from openssl, that Fedora wasn't the kind of distro I wanted
to run.

I was also tired of using rpmfusion to supplement what was missing from

The closest I've gotten to Fedora since then was to boot a live version
of Nobara, which was disastrous. Linux Mint "just works".
Correction: I still have an old server running Fedora. But I'm planning
to decommission it, and I already have the new hardware for it, a
newer SuperMicro SuperServer.
