From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't think so, personally.
Their YaST system is pretty heavily integrated and unique only to distros based on SUSE.
Really it's just arch-based distros for rolling releases, and debian-based for point-released. The rest are superfluous.
Fedora is a solid middle ground between Arch and Debian.
Not really. I lump fedora in with suse. No point in having a separate package system like dnf.
I haven't experienced any friction from DNF, so personally I don't see it as a con. I just think Fedora has a useful middle ground between new packages and stability.
