    Fedora definitely doesn’t “just works”. Try installing the proprietary NVIDIA drivers then updating your kernel.

      Ford definitely doesn’t “just works”. Try installing a jet engine on the roof then fueling it with unleaded.

      I don’t want to blame you, but I think sometimes Nvidia really enjoys messing with Linux users.

        Regardless of whose fault it is, it’s unacceptable that half the people with a discrete GPU have nigh incompatible hardware. It’s more akin to using snow tires breaking your car than a jet engine.

      Not just that, but ever since F32 every single fricking update managed to either break something completely or made some part of the OS too unstable for daily use. Bluetooth issues, crashing display server, system hanging on suspend, broken bootloader on some Secure Boot sysems (handover from EUFI to bootloader no longer happening) therefore rendering the system completely unable to boot… Just some issues I ran into when using Fedora as my daily driver for well over a year.

      Fedora is great when it works, but always keep in mind that having a bleeding edge system comes at the cost of stability.

      I keep reading this, but I haven’t had any issues at all over the past year with Fedora KDE and proprietary Nvidia drivers installed via flatpak. Is it more of a problem when installed via dnf?

      That was my experience ten years ago : mobile Geforce 660 with “Optimus”, two flavours of drivers, of which none worked reliably. I remember fiddling with Nouveau & Bumblebee for hours. I should try another, more stable distro on my desktop, but I rely a lot on some Windows-only programs.
