Loved by the People
If you're looking for a new Linux distribution (or a new OS in general), I would highly recommend Ultramarine Linux Flagship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this distro exist?
Ultramarine Linux’s primary goal is to create an instantly usable experience, while keeping up with the latest in Linux desktop innovations. We take what's great about Fedora, and build on it to create an experience that anyone can use, anywhere.
Isn't this just Fedora with repos added?

What does the migration script do?
The migration scripts install RPMFusion, Terra repository, and
our signing keys, then installs the bare minimum of an
Ultramarine Linux installation (Swapping Fedora release packages
with the Ultramarine ones).
The script only installs the bare minimum required for
Ultramarine Linux to work because we don’t want to add
additional bloat to your current system.
Does Ultramarine track me or collect my data?
As of now, the only data we collect is a count of how many times a package has been downloaded from Terra or the Ultramarine repository using DNF Counting. This information is not tied to you or your computer. Fyra Labs (the company behind Ultramarine) does not collect any data that can be tied to an individual.
Is Ultramarine semi-rolling?
No. Ultramarine and Fedora are not semi-rolling or rolling. They
use a stable release scheme. Updates with breaking changes are
rolled out with only major releases. Minor updates/point updates
must be backwards-compatible, i.e. system components in
Ultramarine are updated if and only if they do not break
compatibility.
Does Ultramarine run on my device?
If your're using a standard PC, yes. Otherwise, if your computer is 64-bit, check out the Ultramarine Anywhere page for more about non-standard devices.
