Just wanted to say I made the switch yesterday from Windows 11 to Fedora Linux, no dual booting. It took multiple installs though because the first two times I followed old instructions for installing the Nvidia drivers. The third time I found out that I can just install them through the software center when third party repositories are enabled and that worked like a breeze.

And I have to say it’s a really good thing that the installer for Fedora is getting an overhaul soon because Anaconda is horribly confusing in its UX.

Edit: just wanted to add a hyfetch screenshot:

    Fedora core was also my first distro I installed back in 2006, it’s an elegant set of tools and stable for general use, happy computing!

      @whotookkarl @Tywele RedHat 6 was mine (along with Mandrake and Suse) in the late-90s, but I moved to Fedora when it came out and used it until KDE 4.0 came out and ruined my highly optimized KDE 3.5 desktop and moved to Ubuntu until raging landfill conflagration that was GNOME 3.0.

      Then, honestly, Windows 7 came out and was “good enough” until I started using a macOS laptop and realized how much Windows 11 sucked and, eventually, got a Steam Deck for games. Now my main PC runs Bazzite.
