I recently installed Fedora on my own 2-in-1 flippy laptop, and it works well. The screen rotates when I rotate the device, touchscreen works, and the stylus works as well.

not special software, but it has an app that lets you log in on win and mac. On Linux, I was able to log in and see all the servers but when I set it as proxy it didn’t work :( I might try again later

I mean all I’m using is Steam, adding them as “non-steam games”. I’ve also found some game art to make it look nice. For me at least, I haven’t run into any issues besides at one point one of my games was missing a few shaders causing it to render improperly (I forgot to move the files from my Windows installation, but after I did everything worked!)

It wasn’t difficult to install at all! I just installed steam (for fedora you need to make sure you enable third-party repos when furst installing the OS) and that’s basically it. I’ve also installed Wine manually (not very hard, just “sudo dnf install wine” on fedora) to run a few non-game programs like some compiled .exe programs I made a few years ago by running “wine [program name]”. It’s crazy how simple it all is now!

A VPN. I couldn’t get V2rayA (the vpn uses v2ray, there’s a win + mac app for that specific vpn but not linux) to work. I might have to have another crack at it soon…

letting AI do whatever it wants to your files is not very good…

possible issues:

1. blurred a part of the photo that shouldn’t be blurred, data loss
2. erased the wrong object, data loss
3. deleted large chunks of content in my docs/ppts/spreadsheets I wanted to keep, data loss

This is a really bad idea

I’m not missing anything, even games run fine with Wine/Proton. Also, a lot of the Linux games a really fun! (I personally enjoy Xonotic and SuperTuxKart. I also like to play custom roms with mgba) The only thing I’m missing is pretty much ONE really niche network program thing which didn’t have a Linux version. Everything else either has a Linux version, is a Windows game that can be run with Wine, or has some Linux alternative (think inkscape, kdenlive, okular)

woah, that’s a lot of information. Atomic distros do sound pretty good. I might try one someday, but I’ve already setup Fedora Workstation and am very happy with it :D

Aside from this issue, Fedora has been great! Everything works as expected, UI is fast and snappy, and somehow the file system seems to be a bit faster too (read/write speeds are more consistent)

maybe

I have thought it might be because dual booting makes the drivers confused or soemrhing

my network controller is “Intel Corporation Raptor Lake PCH CNVi WiFi” (after running “lspci”, there doesn’t seem to be any other network-related ones besides that)

Yeah, my phone’s download speeds are fine (>100MB/s)

I’m using a laptop, so I would guess probably a built-in Intel one.

Just generally installing things like blender, inkscape, etc. normally takes around a minute on Windows (before dual booting) but is estimated like over 2 hours on both Fedora and Windows (after dual booting) since speeds are sub 100KB/s…

ok, I’ll do that soon

one thing I’ll say, Fedora installed really quickly!

I’ve backed everything up to both the cloud and an SD card, now I’m installing Fedora Workstation!

On KDE Plasma vs GNOME, I would like to try both out and see which I like better long-term. KDE Plasma seems a bit more familiar (closer to Windows 10) whereas GNOME is a bit more different but I’m open to using either.

1. a laptop with an Intel i7-1360P. It’s one of those 2-in-1 convertible 360 degree hinge laptops.
2. I would say I’m open to learning how to work with the terminal and customising the distro a bit, but I don’t want to do anything too out of my scope. I don’t want to spend too many hours setting it up, I’d rather have something that works mostly out of the box :D
3. Stable as I don’t want to break my system after an update. I still want an up-to-date distro though. I am open to rolling release distros, but to my knowledge those are usually less stable with more breaking changes than fixed release options.

Also, how are the “immutable” distros from UB different from the “mutable” distros? Does it just mean that you’re unable to change system-level settings and such/break anything with a mistyped terminal command? What are the downsides to using an immutable distro?
