Ah, see... Mr Torvalds is your God. That isn't a reason at all. But
thanks you put a smile on my face.

Dear Qubes Users,
I'm currently digging my way through the exceptional good Qubes
documentation. Everything is nicely explained as to why a certain
decision / implementation was made, except for the use of Fedora as
main distribution.
I wonder what's the rationale of that decision; Fedora 25 isn't even
supported anymore. No offense or critic intended, just curiosity.
Regards, toptin.
I think the subtext here is that Fedora gets the changes first and it
makes a good development environment (for Linux code anyway). But that's
also why they don't curate or test or secure it like a regular
production-ready OS. And also why they don't care about having a wide
array of apps.
I'd rather see a transition to something more stable like Debian which
is also flexible enough to let you pull in newer packages from a tiered
repository (stable, testing, unstable, and experimental).
