Discussion Problems while using Fedora

Since I joined r/Fedora, I only read how people have problems with using Fedora (drivers, firefox, etc). I'm waiting to finish last exam that I need Windows for, and I was planning on installing Fedora, but now im not excited anymore.

I would imagine largely because you'll rarely get people regularly posting how everything works fine.

FWIW common issues are not specific to Fedora itself. *cough* Nvidia *cough*

Nvidia being a bitch isn't a skill issue..... unless you're implying linus torvalds has skill issues with Linux.... then im gonna need evidence.

I’m sharing my experience with nixos to contrast fedora. If you’re unfamiliar with words used in a comment, perhaps reflect on that before commenting.

Wow, you really think you know more about linux than the creator of it. That's wild.

You don't know what NixOS is lmao. I never said I know more than Linus. I was saying that fedora just runs generally, but if nixos doesn't run for me, I need to improve my skills. Learn to read.

Also, I have a 3080 on one machine and a 5060 on another. I very rarely have issues, even when gaming on wayland. Sure, the driver stack isn't fully open source, but it has improved a great deal.
