Same - I got tired of waiting and moved to KDE on Fedora. Zero complaints and regrets. People said that Fedora is too bleeding edge and things break but fingers crossed, it has been an awesome experience.

I've been running Fedora for years on my XPS 13 and am very pleased. Had zero issues except the integrated webcam doesn't work, but honestly that's a feature to me.

  Weird. I'm also running Fedora on an xps 13 and my camera is fine. In case it makes a difference, is yours the Ubuntu-specific version?
  - ajcp 1y ago
    Yup! I bought the Ubuntu specific version and flashed Fedora on it day 1. From everything I've read this was fairly common behavior.

      Wow. I use the camera all the time and I'd be pretty annoyed if it didn't work. I wonder how/if my setup is different.

  I had to blacklist newer kernel series that broke AMD graphics. But overall quite like it.

Exact same story; Fedora has been so much more wonderful than I expected. Made me realise just how far the Linux desktop has really come these past years while Pop OS languished. I've tried the alpha, and while bugs were few, Cosmic doesn't look or feel like home to me. The slightly off positioning of items on the taskbar, the high contrast borders... It's speedy, but it's not for me.

  I might try Fedora now that kde-neon is going the immutable route via kde linux. That said one of my most stable times with KDE was installing it over Pop!_OS. It was rock solid.

    That's exactly how I caught up to speed with KDE. I installed it on Pop and liked it so much that it is my default DE again after many years.

There is a Fedora Cosmic spin available as well for anyone who likes Fedora but still wants a nice Cosmic experience out of the box
