I never distro-hopped. Went from Windows straight to Mint. I gave Aurora a try a couple of month ago and it’s such a great distro, I’ll keep it.
I use it on my work laptop via an M2 caddy, this way the laptop still has the windows OEM license installed, if I plug it into a new laptop my OS and files are ready to go as well. My IT department is very happy, and me even more.
What makes Aurora different than Fedora Kinoite?
Different theming, as well as more preinstalled packages with the option to enable a developer mode that installs Podman, VS Code, KVM/QEMU, etc.
Non-free codecs out of the box
So I actually ended up trying it out, and DistroShelf, Tailscale, OpenRazer and Solaar were not preinstalled. Not sure if I missed an option or not during install but I don’t think so 🤔
Bazarr is also on default Kinoite. So it seems the differences are relatively minor. Which is not a bad thing. Kinoite is one of the best out there IMO.
Strange, I have all of that. Maybe it’s inherited from older builds? Maybe my branch is now using the aurora-dx image?
