Yeah.. Fedora was pretty nice, but this... is just silly. I myself ended up going to Arch (Really nice for gaming), then Gentoo, and ultimately settled on NixOS

I might, too, as a long time Fedora fan, move to Arch for this. I wish they’d used their IBM/Redhat position and money to fight patent trolls in court with an attitude of: “come at me bro”. And until sued /lost don’t do anything.

It's a shame that they at least don't want transfer the project to a Fedora association in Europe (zapsaný spolek in Brno) and legally insulate it. This just goes to show how much they care about community.

(Why is Arch nice for gaming?)
Mainly because of how easy it ks to install steam, mesa-git, and latest kernel. Back when I had Nvidia card, Arch also was least painless when it came to the drivers for some reason, alongside gentoo. AUR was certainly useful with getting game related stuff that wasn't in repos or so
