  • I had tried opensuse tumbleweed and absolutely loved the way it did things, my perfect balance between fedora and arch, but there were Teo problems that I couldn’t get over.

    1. Zypper is slow.
    2. I couldn’t get it to do parallel downloads packages.

    But it’s a great distro nonetheless.

    Also it has a similar problem with fedora that arch doesn’t. VIDEO CODECS. I don’t understand how the USA messes with my ability to play a video and I am seriously annoyed by it.















  • Same here. I used to dual boot but finally moved to Linux and instead shortened my games list. Plus games that I really enjoy playing are fromsoft games,hollow knight, hades, dead cells and factorio and all of them are amazing on Linux. So sorry Billy G, no more OS level big brother for me


  • I have read online that Nobara/Bazzite etc have many perks, but I haven’t really tried them. The main issue of my system is that I have only 512gb of ssd storage and hence heavier distros are a no no for me.

    Plus I used vanilla fedora from the get go and am not afraid to use the terminal or program something to solve any minor problems I am having.

    I would recommend using vanilla fedora to first get the feel of the rpm ecosystem and if you like it,then test out the other variants.


  • I had a lot of the same issues you are stating until I switched over to fedora. I have an nvidia Optimus laptop and it was quite the pain until I installed fedora and used the proprietary drivers from rpm fusion. I use b9ttles and steam to run my games and I can play most of the games I want to. Even Wayland works nice. I am using the Plasma spin of Fedora 40. Hope you can find the solutions to your problems.

    Protip, use Rufus to create the windows install stuck and disable all the telemetry if you want to.

    Happy computing.
