alt Hacker NewsLinus Torvalds currently uses Fedora with GNOME, which was fun to learn because that's also been my personal choice for a while now.

LTT is my most watched channel according to YouTube rewind, but this one was one of my favourite of all time.. I was excited for this to drop as soon as Fake Linus started to hint at it.

He said also because fedora seemed the most amenable to running custom kernels which is basically what he does all day.

He seems to switch every half-decade or so. Waiting for his next KDE era :-)

Yeah mine too (but using Silverblue).
After spending years with Arch/NixOS/Ubuntu/Sway Im quite happy with Fedora+GNOME now. It just works.
It's been well known for awhile now that it's his preferred setup.
He seems to want as much stability as possible; while being as minimal as possible; with as little fuss to install and keep up to date as possible. Fedora meets those needs. Gnome is Fedora's main concentration.
