Fedora nails the basics.
Nice installer, unadulterated GNOME, well-stocked official repos and easy to add third party ones.
That's all I want these days. The only negative thing I have to say about my day to day Linux use is caused by Nvidia's shitty driver and power management issues. My next build will be AMD (or maybe Intel) graphics.
- atemerev 4y agoNvidia works fine for me (even with Wayland) since Fedora 36 (the latest). With X, it worked fine since ages. I am a researcher and simulations developer, so I can't live without CUDA.
- petepete 4y agoFor the most part it works for me, but there are some definite rough edges. For example, I had to disable suspend because sometimes it doesn't wake properly. I need to reboot to make it work again. The fact I needed to enable a bunch of services (nvidia-suspend.service and friends) to even get it to sleep was enough of a pain. I'm running a 1660 GTX so it's not like I have a niche card with special functionality or anything, it's very run-of-the-mill. Compared to my laptop (ThinkPad), where everything just worked, it's a chore. I set up a (Beelink) computer for my parents with AMD graphics and it's been flawless for the past year, I've not even had to do any tech support in that time.
