Happy with Fedora

I must say how amazed and happy im with Fedora its realy stable “except 1 minor thing with driver” and well buildt it is and even more so with KDE Plasma i realy like it alot, and just now there was a new kernal 7.9 and so far it seams ok. I wish for all a great day.:heart:

Good for you. There are not many Fedora people here, so maybe you can help when we get issues.

Develop the habit of taking notes when you do things. You will be surprised how often you want to look back .
I keep an exercise book … but I also have a Folder where I keep useful ‘recipes’.

yes i have my recipes in a folder to and do a back up each time i get a new one,and i also have downloaded free ebooks about Linux and how the terminal works and useful commands that i read.

Ofcourse i help with what i can ,now that aint much lol but i do the best i can :slight_smile:

Hope you wear your hat with pride


A fedora of course

Easy for me, I am a mint user, tastes much better.

I’ve used Fedora on and off…

Last time I did some serious distro-hopping - maybe 4 years ago - Fedora was one that I tried (not my first go) - but certain things annoyed me - like having to manually add RPM-Fusion and EPEL to get stuff I get from Ubuntu or Debian’s default repos…

However - I read somewhere that Fedora now includes RPM-Fusion by default…

Fedora is what Red Hat base RHEL on… It’s also what Amazon base their Linux AMZN Linux on and I discovered the other day Microsoft’s Azure Linux is Fedora based (note: AMZN and Azure Linux are mostly server and usually headless)… I don’t like running RPM based distros on my home gear 'cause it feels too much like work - as RHEL and RPM represent about 80-90% of my work…

I’ve also used actual RHEL as a desktop O/S (Gnome 3x)… Prefer Debian / Ubuntu…

But good for you!

There was an infrequent poster on here sometime last year, very new to Linux - having issues with Fedora - I suggested Fedora probably not the best choice for a newbie… I dunno… If you’re 100% new to Linux and VERY terminal-shy (bash-phobic) - MINT is probably the best choice IMHO - but you seem comfortable in the shell and doing okay - good luck and touch wood!

:eyes: :thinking:
Did I hear about him?

Other post about Fedora to be moved in this category is

I strongly doubt that it’s worth to move any old posts. For new posts clearly yes. But let the mods decide, they have to perform the work.

What distro are you on now ?

I strongly doubt that it’s worth to move any old posts. For new posts clearly yes. But let the mods decide, they have to perform the work.

But if is possible notify the admin (to give him a hand) and arrange the category … why not?

Fedora Workstation, with KDE Plasma on top. Very few issues, none of them are major. Also, some seem to stem from the fact that I mixed some stuff when I added KDE Plasma.
Surprisingly, it works better than Ubuntu did on the previous laptop.

Because it’s not the strongest idea to mess up old hierarchies without a real requirement.
But please go on, dump whatever you find to the mods, I’m quite certain they appreciate it.:wink:

KDE plasma is great i realy like it alot, have it both on fedora and cachyos

I had the intention few weeks ago to suggest the admin create the Fedora and Debian categories … well they are now available …

I am not sure if openSUSE was created some time ago as the 2 others too (same thought as Arch Linux)

Returning to Fedora world … I use it through VirtualBox because it is non-LTS …

Therefore you must upgrade the system at least one time by year (i.e 43 to 44) because each year is released two new versions, so the option for the antepenultimate OS release to update new software through either dnf or yum command for the current repositories stops (If I am not mistaken)

Therefore

42 <-- no new releases (sudo dnf update)
43
44

or

41 <-- no new releases (sudo dnf update)
42
43
44

Other third tool parties have the same approach. For example MySQL and PostgreSQL

I know this situation because long time ago I did create a post about that in Fedora official forum about if is possible do an full upgrade of the OS such as from 41 to 44 or 42 to 44

Note. Even if the full upgrade of the OS be easy. I am not sure if it is 100% flawless. I mean: How common is get “serious” trouble/problem throughout the process?

I did upgrade my Fedora 43-to Fedora 44 with its foss upgrade guide and did it in the terminal and no problems at all ,i tried first to do an fresh 44 install with a live usb but some how i never got to make user account and logg in pasword and i rebooted but could not log in since i wasnt able to make a password,i tried 2 times but the same thing so i installed Fedora 43 again and after a reboot and update i upgraded to fedora 44 with its foss guide. i have no idea what went wrong with the Fedora 44 iso live usb. but now i got fedora 44 and are very happy with it ,only issue i hade was a driver to my wifi and bluetooth card but it got sorted the day after with an update.

It would need to be very relevant.
I think posting the link to the old topic/post like
@Manuel_Jordan did, is sufficient

Always do a backup before you attempt such a cross-release upgrade.

Now i do, I have an 250 gb external ssd for back ups.
