I got Fedora 39 on my dev Laptop, but I'm so happy with it I'm considering switching my Windows 10 Game PC to Fedora. If only the gaming industry would make native Linux games :(
Will be there soon, games on Steams now like to make sure they're Steam deck compatible, hence Linux compatible. I don't need to play every latest game, so I'm pretty happy with gaming on Linux currently, and I think it will be getting better day by day!
If you aren't playing a lot of MP games, it might be fine to move now, but I agree that it won't be long at this point. I'm considering the same thing for my gaming rig. If Windows gives me particular trouble any time soon, I might make the change.
@@te-wei People like you REALLY need to stop spreading misinformation and false hope. Steam deck compatible DOES NOT mean Linux compatible. It means is compatible with STEAM DECK and at most....Arch that its based on. Doesnt mean its gonna work with the other 57 distros out there, so stop acting like Linux is God or something. Linux gaming is evolving because of Valve, so people need to wait for proton to work with their games, not just whether it has a deck verified tick ffs.
I'm currently running Nobara (based on Fedora 39+KDE Plasma) and it's absurd how spiffy it is on a moderately old i5-8600T 6-core CPU. I do have plenty of RAM and a fast M.2 NVMe SSD though, but still. It's a joy to use. Can't wait to put this or some other Linux on my main PC.
Bruh ' upgrading over 2 releases is crazy and break a lot ( especially if you have Nvidia ) Alsways go F38 > F39 > F40. if you are on i3 maybe look at Sway ?
please tell me should i switch from windows to fedora 40. i am a student and only mostly use ms office however i do want to learn coding so if you can kindly tell me should i switch or stay
I also need ms office and I switched last week to fedora I use the web version of office and thats enough for me, if its the same case with you then I encourage you to switch because using linux teaches you a bit more than windows
Bloat is misguided here. The emergence of the atomic spins means there will be more and more Atomic distros. You didn't even mention, uBlue, Bluefin, Bazzite in the video and some other Vendor specific runs for Asus, Lenovo, Framework laptops.
Atomic Desktops are not unchangeable... The core OS is managed, can be changed and resetted, or changed during the image building process through projects like uBlue.
All distros have gotten bloated, even the core and small OSes. The earliest GUIs tried to work on 500 Kb, later, 50Mb, up to 500Mb. Now, DSL, that tries to be the smallest distro possible, if finding it hard to have a fully capable desktop experience any lower than 700 Mb. Most of it is due to growing demands in graphics, but most things multimedia, from sound to streaming and broadcasting keep demanding more each upgrade. So it's not completely the fault of OS development because they're trying to keep up pace with both the new hardware and software coming out. Fortunately, it's not near the massive leaps, or at least processors have leveled out when it comes to Ghz speeds, and things have moved towards other optimizations. But memory and RAM requirements keep on growing. The skeleton structures? They probably could render on old 8-bit machines, but not to the quality of graphical details demanded today. So the bloat comes from the layers of detail and complexity we demand of modern computing.
I think the bloat comment is misguided. There will be more and more spins as the Atomic distro catches more attention. uBlue, Bluefin & Bazzite are basically this as well. They were not even listed or mentioned in the video. Think about it, install what/how you want from a custom OSTree. . .
@@hammerheadcorvette4 - For now, I've settled into Fedora for long term, and Garuda for he more advanced, cutting edge curiosity. I liked Debian, but it takes too long for it to get up to date with current tech. Fedora just has the better long term experience for me. Garuda is great for games and keeping up tech.
At this point, a 256GB SSD is $20. How much do anyone really need to suffer to get an install under 1GB or even 10? While I like the concept of keeping old PCs and electronics useable, at some point you just stop updating it because newer software will just make it slower and painful to use.
Fedora 40 with KDE 6 is the sweet spot for me i stop ditro hopping, i quit Rolling Release distro /testing them and now I just use fedora. I'm not to keen on this silverblue stuff man as I like to customize my terminal and my desktop like wallpaper and theme so if this silverblue become the default system it will ruin the fun of desktop as I like to make my desktop feel like me .. not some ISO standard desktop... sorry if they change it to silverblue as the main distro iso I will leave fedora as well and have to find another linux again :(
Don't think you understand the atomic desktops. With atomic desktop you can still add your own terminal, or three if you want. You can customize all the settings you want, pretty much everything available in the KDE settings app is still available for you to play with. The atomic part comes up with running updates. Rather than updating everything online, where files change in the background, and you can close an app then reopen it to find it's the new version, the atomic update will update an "system image" in the background. Nothing changes while you are running the updates. Then you reboot. It will boot up that "system image" that was previously updated. If you find any issues, you can roll back, which just boots the old "system image". The atomic updates was introduced in Google Chromebooks many years ago.
I loved fedora 38 and 39 im sure 40 will be great also, i was surprised you use ubuntu, i understand people choosing lts for stable long term support, but snaps are so slow and clunky, the new 24.04 is apparently going further into just snaps 🤮
You just need to not use snaps, that's all. Moreover, Ubuntu has the best software support because it's by far the most popular linux distribution, so software developers give Ubuntu more priority. That's why I, and many other people prefer Ubuntu for a peaceful computing experience.
" but snaps are so slow and clunky, " ---- well, just not true anymore. Besides...it's Linux. If someone doesn't like Snap installations, can simply avoid using it. Everything is either a dpkg -i, gdebi or a flatpak install away...
the worst desktop on Linux world. top left and move to bottom middle to run app ehh tragedy. I don't care about shortcut on keyboard. everything is zooming and out zooming for the eyes is not good at all. better they make default desktop too looks like any old or new windows from Microsoft or cinnamon or anything, that give you easy access to apps without configuring anything.
Actually, Fedora is available with KDE, Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, i3 or LXQt (check out the "spins" section on their website). So if you want the stability of Fedora you can pick basically any of these that you'd prefer if Gnome isn't your thing.
Yeah man just seems like you’re not a fan of GNOME. Just install another desktop environment and switch to it during login screen, you can then delete GNOME if you’d like. Didn’t like GNOME at first but once you get used to it everything becomes easier
Windows 11 isn't even the best Windows version, let alone "best for PC". Windows 11 is a hot mess. After more than a year of using Windows 11, I couldn't bare it anymore, and finally did a clean install of Windows 10. Now I am experimenting with "live" distros of Linux, hence my interest in this video. If Windows is the answer to future computing, than you have to wonder what the question is. Windows 10 will be my LAST Microsoft OS, and if were feasible, Windows 7 would be....
