I've actually switched to fedora just before 36 came out, and recently I set up KDE Plasma and everything is just perfect. I love how it feels a lot like something like Arch and yet it's extremely stable.
Yes but Fedora 35 and 36 are the best releases ever of the system. It's gaining momentum and it deserves it however I tried Fedora many times and they had many releases that were a far cry from these newer ones.
If you have Intel hardware, you must try Clear Linux. It's a bit different from the standard. They have their own package manager "swupd" and Flatpack support. Supper fast and hardware friendly OS.
Enterprises wouldn’t be using it as a workstation! The upstream Alma Linux or Rocky Linux would be more their speed, essentially a stable LTS Fedora with a long term support cycle of ten years as opposed to the six months with Fedora.
You mention a Dell laptop. I’ve got an XPS with Nvidia optimus hybrid graphics. That has always been the thing that drives me back to Windows. If you’ve got Nvidia, how’s all that work under Wayland on Fedora 36?
I putting Fedora on every other computer in my house (Family PCs) but on EndeavorOS on my PC and happy with it so sticking with it but Fedora is about to go on 6 PCs in my house haha
do yourself a favour, chose a different edition than the default. gnome is really slow and resource hungry. fedora has a lot of "spins", there is plasma, xfce, lxqt/lxde, mate, cinnamon, i3, etc...
same. I'm running EOS as my daily driver but I've been hearing many good things about this latest fedora and I've been playing around with a Fedora VM. I'm really liking it so far.
@Fashinqu A. comparing the two is almost impossible. plasma/KDE is much more complex than gnome and it has way more festures. despite that plasma/KDE is way lighter than gnome.
@Fashinqu A. it depends on how many effects are enabled, how it is configured, what theme is used, etc. basically, its impossible to compare. plasma/KDE does so much more with so much less memory, that's enough for me to say gnome is a bad piece of software... let alone the fanatic devs behind it....
I run the beta of Fedora 36 for say 6-7 weeks, but after the last update the screen freezes and I have to power off the VM en reload on an older version of the Linux kernel. I was just on the point of deleting the Fedora 35 VM and replacing it with Fedora 36, fortunately I did run those "updates" first. Fedora 36 a real bomb for me!
I kept hearing about how awesome Fedora is and I finally decide to give it a try. Doesn't even start up. After starting the live environment, it just shows a black screen. Awesome. I can't say I'm impressed if this is the best they can do, given that even one man distros work perfectly fine out of the box.
Played with Fedora a lot, but I always run into something that annoys me, or doesn't work very easy or the way I think it should and googling for answers... I recently just switched my Manjaro use over to Arch, and think I'll stick to Arch as my main OS for a long time. I thought about going with EndeavourOS, but its basically just a small wrapper around Arch, so figured I'd just go straight up Arch instead. It all seems to run a lot better and its pretty easy to use, even if not easy to install.
Manjaro failed me every time. If anything like that happens to anytime and you wanna switch to endeavour os like me. Then join their telegram group.they are really helpful
@@refayatul been using endeavourOS for a few months now. it's really great and I love it. the community is amazing. though I must say I'm really impressed with this new release of fedora.
@@refayatul Manjaro never gave me a problem... but as I said above, I switched over to Arch, so I am not using Manjaro any more. Arch seemed a better way to go than EndeavourOS, as I saw no benefit to EndeavourOS besides the installer, and that's such a short use for an OS I hope to run years.
Tried it for around a day. Looks great but random issues. Had trouble with Night Light, downloading files to external drives, and overall lagginess. Hope they iron out the bugs and I can come back to it at some point.
Hi there! Sure you were using Wayland with Nvidia. Yes, you can use Nvidia drivers with Wayland, but you will have some issues. Bit lagging, night light doesnt works, and some default apps doesnt works as well, like Maps. I recommend to use xorg instead wayland!
how the hell do you make Nvidia kernel module work? nothing I've tried worked.. the DKMS doesn't do anything, Arch works perfectly fine but fedora? naaaah, it's a nightmare.
install rpmfusion repo, then install the akmod-nvidia package (it's not totally sthat simple, "akmod-nvidia" is the package for the latest nvidia cards, the older cards use one of the older legacy nvidia packages)
@@Dudik28 i "fixed" my manjaro install after it broke a couple of times. Mostly easy fixes (just follow the update notes). However i was never able to fix Fedora after it broke.
I've NEVER understood why anyone would want to keep their goofy paws on the damn KEYBOARD-- seems STUPID to me when you have gui that does it all Beautifully. And i will NOT accept that keyboard is FASTER-- and definitley NOT easier (as a 66 year old with 5 eye surgeries and not good health- I dont want to waste time trying to memorize a bunch of stupid unrelated key crap)

Fedora is one of the most unappreciated distros. Great and stable Distro.
Good video. Thanks

It Will be hilarious to see Jeremy move when he fast foward the vídeo.
Jeremy, where are you from? Your english is so nice and perfect!
Thanks! I'm actually from the Southern US so I don't know where I got it from LOL
With Fedora, be sure to activate the Fusion/ non-free repos. Fedora 36 KDE is incredible- it is my daily driver.

I have installed and BTFRS based also if updates brakes you can turn back :)
I really like Fedora, but it seems to always be a bit lacking in KDE support, with bugs and performance loss in the KDE spin..
@Fashinqu A. Bug with black screen when logout in kde. I find info about this problem in fedora 32, so...

That's a you issue lmao, it works just fine, maybe it's a hardware issue or your iso didn't flash correctly or that your isos download is corrupted.
I don't understand how people don't like GNOME. It's the nicest looking DE of them all

My Fedora 35 system broke so I went back to Ubuntu and discovered the latest Ubuntu isn't terrible, might leave it a month and go back to Fedora.

Not as stable as version 35 as usual 42 breaks the gnome shell extensions maybe after a few months.
Only ONE person checked out the KDE PlASMA version... ti's INFINITELY better than this gnome mess..
The problem with Fedora is it is really good and cool, BUT... it will eventually break. Like Manjaro, it will break ... sooner or later.
Why's that?
@Fashinqu A. silverblue is not for everyone as every immutable system.
@@Dudik28 well, i hope 36 is better, but every fedora version i installed, eventually broke... and not only for me.
@@sharktooh76 that's quite interesting. I have always had this exact problem with Manjaro but not with Fedora.
@@Dudik28 i "fixed" my manjaro install after it broke a couple of times.
Mostly easy fixes (just follow the update notes).

...but this video is not about ubuntu...
👍 Kubuntu is working great for me
