    The only thing that stops me from recommending Fedora and OpenSUSE more often is that there are still so many niche packages that are only offered as .deb (like Unreal Engine). Being forced to use unofficial community Flatpaks makes me uncomfortable and new converts aren’t going to want to hear how they can compile something themselves, assuming that’s an option.

      You should not install random package files. That is a bad idea in general and creates instability and introduces security problems.
