This is incredible. I had written a comment on the original thread on why I had moved to fedora after 14 years of using Ubuntu and this post confirms that I made the right choice. For some unkNown reason, Fedora is considered "bleeding edge" and unstable..While Ubuntu is considered mainstream. The truth is that fedora is probably the most polished Linux distribution out there right now..Including a brilliant UI experience. The only doubt I had was whether fedora is taken seriously inside redhat...And this post pretty much takes care of that.

I can report my non-stop 21 years usage of redhat based distributions ( well, along other Unices ). Never was I left down. Fedora from 24-25 version is so polished, I can't believe myself when all the hardware works just as expected and the screen is such a beauty. Edit: I have to mention that I am also a diehard KDE fan. Plasma 5.8 is just amazing.

  A few questions: - Is KDE a first-class citizen in Fedora-land? Everything I see about Fedora seems to focus on Gnome as the one-true-desktop - How's the battery/power situation? I've seen some reviews find fault with battery performance under Fedora 25 as being worse than before (supposedly because of Wayland)

    KDE in last fedora is fine except KDE specific bugs. Battery life is good, but KDE uses xwin.

For some unkNown reason, Fedora is considered "bleeding edge" and unstable.. I cannot say I never had problems with Ubuntu. But I can say I had worse problems with Fedora to the point where I gave it up. I might have been unlucky but I think my experience is as relevant as anyone elses. No Linux specialist but have used Linux since 2003-ish and started with RH 7.2 or something.

  It has changed. I seriously recommend you give fedora a shot.
