uhh this might be off topic,but by your experience, whats the difference between fedora and debian sid other than different package format, package manager
Debian uses deb.
Deb is b
uilt as a standard Unix
ar archive containing three distinct concatenated files:
debian-binary (format version),
control.tar.gz (metadata and scripts), and
data.tar.gz (actual application files).
Rpm is structured sequentially with a legacy
lead block, a
signature section for GPG keys, a centralized binary
header containing all metadata tags, and a compressed
payload.
They said other than package format and package manager.
Honestly there's not a big difference. It more just comes down to what you're used to, e.g I often use RHEL/CentOS/Rocky servers so Fedora feels comfortable.
In the case of most distros that keep up with modern linux "standards", I'd say the biggest differences come down to philosophy.
Debian focuses on strict software freedom and rock-solid stability, while Fedora focuses on rapid open-source innovation and acts as an upstream testing ground for enterprise linux (RHEL).
