Does the speed/location of repos factor into your choose of distro? I am in Egypt and while linux mint repos speeds are fine when updating and installing here, fedora and manjaro are incredibility slow, manjaro especially is the slowest, like maybe 30 minutes or more slow for an install that takes a few minutes in linux mint

I am assuming that ppl in the USA/Europe don’t have this problem. Does anyone else have this same issue.

    It’s not a factor for me, but if you continually find slow speed you could try picking a mirror that has better perf. Also dnf can be incredibly slow so you may need some additional max_parallel_downloads tuning
