From this article, an interview with Fedora's project leader:

On the other hand, the long-term distributions work by basically not making changes. Fedora doesn't follow that, your packages will get updated. We try to make it so that major breaking changes happen on releases rather than just as updates. But sometimes, if there is a security problem, we will put out a newer version of something. So for that kind of stable, it is much less so."

That's why Fedora users are stuck with e.g. the older GNOME version until the next release.

The difference between Fedora and Debian regarding stability is that there's a new Fedora release every 6 months, while on Debian you have to wait like 2 (?) years for major updates.

That's how I always interpreted the term "leading edge".

Yes, that article is wrong

Fedora is not bleeding edge like Arch. It's "leading edge"; the packages are a lot more tested before being deployed.

People being more experienced with Ubuntu/Debian is a good point

The software packages are old so you run into bugs that have already been fixed months or even years ago

Oh, that's unfortunate

And after that you'll be stuck with an outdated distro again

And they literally took down a fan project recently...

If you mean Portal 64 you're misinformed at best

How do you get this black theme? I downloaded Gradient-Dark-GTK and set it for legacy applications in Tweaks but nothing changed

Good luck with that
