Besides rpm-ostree still being bugged as of Fedora 32? Outside of Fedora
workstation no one seems to care what state other spins/versions of
Fedora are released in. You can't tell me third-part repos not
incrementing with the Fedora version isn't release blocking...
You lost me a bit there. rpm-ostree being buggy does seem like a
reason not to upgrade, but I'm not sure what that has to do with third
party repos.
Or the fact that Fedora breaks third-party software by doing things
few,
if any, Linux distro do like running X. Org as non-root?
Which third-party software is that? Security is indeed messy sometimes.
