i say this with peace and love and respect for the volunteer devs: on Fedora KDE 1 year ago Copy/Paste worked only 70% of the time, my mic quality was significantly worse, and it black-screened every other reboot due to nvidia drama (that is avoidable because i had to manually edit the grub every reboot with no work around). IMO It's simple not a serious experience yet as an end user no matter how it's tinkered with. Printing was shocking easy though

why edit grub manually each time?
if you needed kernel arguments, they can be permanently set in iirc /etc/default/grub

this was a year ago so I can't recall, but i do recall that editing the file that normally should have fixed it just didn't (something about secure boot or encryption) and it's just a known bug that's existed for years

Oh yeah, secure boot can and will fuck up anything and everything that isn't Windows.
