It's a community repository for Fedora. It works similar to RPMFusion: you can use it along the official repositories to grab software that's not available there. If you'd like to reduce the number of organizations you're directly depending on, you may choose to use their Fedora fork, with their own repositories (forked from Fedora's), called Ultramarine Linux [0].
I recently switched to Fedora. I have enjoyed it thoroughly although I am a little skeptical how the upgrade process for Fedora will go when Fedora 44 eventually comes out.
One of the concerns is the package delays on the RPM Fusion repo. I've heard it can take weeks before updated packages are shipped, a package without a valid Fedora 44 compatible package will prevent the update from being installed.
COPR is another can of worms, most people just recommend disabling all COPR packages before upgrading.
What can Terra offer me? How can I prevent dependency hell? What is the upgrade process like when lots of Terra packages are installed?
To solve this, I personally simply wait a few weeks before updating Fedora versions! Generally that's a good idea not only because of RPMFusion, but specially because of the multitude of GNOME Extensions I use, some of which take a bit longer to update whenever there's a new GNOME release.
`dnf install --nogpgcheck` olps
So, rawhide, with a bus factor of two, and teh justification for it is "NIH"?
