I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Is the loss of pacman and AUR that bad?

What things are to be gained? I expect that SELinux and Redhat backing should really make fedora way more secure.

I made the same move a few years back and really like it. Can't say much regarding SELinux and security though. Regarding the AUR, it depends on how much you use it but I only rarely miss it. A lot of stuff that is not in the default fedora repos can be found in copr https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/

Just use distrobox for aur. Nowadays I use nix pkg manager for everything that's not available
