  • what are some good laptops to buy?
    I am using HP Omen. I easily open it, clean it and change the thermal paste every 3 months (they have detailed guides on YouTube). My laptop had another SSD slot and I upgraded it with a new Samsung 1TB SSD and I am looking to upgrade the RAM from 16 GB to 64GB soon. Since I do not like Windows, I have installed Fedora on it. If I want I can turn in into a Hackintosh and install macOS too. The possibilities are... Source: 10 months ago

  • Game over: Steam won’t run on Windows 7 or 8 after January 1, 2024.
    While I think Arch is one of the best distros out there, if you've got the time and interest; otherwise, PopOS, Linux Mint, or Fedora are all great starting points. Source: about 1 year ago
  • F38 release, I'm confused
    Here's what I recommend doing if you're just looking for an easy install without the need to hacking around. Use the version you see on getfedora.org - don't worry about all the folks that insist on looking "cool" by using pre-releases and discuss "issues" in a group not monitored for development. Everyone is absolutely free to use what-ever release of Fedora they want, however:. Source: about 1 year ago
  • When will you learn?
    Can you explain why? So far I had almost zero problems on linux (Fedora) and can say that it's, at least for my purposes (digital painting, 3d modeling) works well. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Help me please. Linux fedora on windows 11. I went thru the installation process pressed reboot now once i login nothing happens idk what im doing wrong or what i meed to enter but help plz
    The much better option is going to https://getfedora.org/ and clicking on the download button next to fedora workstation, which will bring you to https://getfedora.org/workstation/download/. There you should download the "x86_64 Live ISO" option. Source: about 1 year ago
  • aegsgrsgegsegsg
    He: Let's start this [Endeavour] (https://endeavouros.com/). I'll put on my [Fedora](https://getfedora.org/), or do you prefer a [Red Hat](https://www.redhat.com/de)? Source: about 1 year ago
  • Powered by Fedora sticker on PC.
    Tey did redesign it though. See their website : https://getfedora.org/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • A Beginner´s Guide: Fedora 37 running as dual boot alongside windows 11 on Ideapad 5 Pro 16ACH6:
    2) The next step is to download "Fedora 37: x86_64 Live ISO" from getfedora.org. Before you drag it on your USB-drive make sure to install ventoy [www.ventoy.net]. I tried to used the Fedora Media Write and Rufus but both didnt work for me. Ventoy is really a great program and big ups to the person who suggested it to me. Works like a charm. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Changing from Windows 11 to Linux ?
    As a also laptop user fedora has less use of battery (at least for me) as it is for default so you have that. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Will the fedora Linux be the best distro for a Game dev and a music producer?
    You can see all versions on the official page (https://getfedora.org/), but I'll describe them below. Source: about 1 year ago

    I know Fedora has already begun builds of all these packages and they should soon begin their journey from testing to stable in Fedora 37. Source: about 1 year ago
  • After running PoPOS for several months I would like now to run Fedora. What program and procedure should I use to install Fedora in an USB pen drive in order to proceed and how do I force PopOS to boot from this USB?
    Go to getfedora.org and download the workstation edition (is the one for desktop). Source: over 1 year ago
  • First time user - can't get my AMD drivers to install.
    About your card, you're not going to get it to work on Ubuntu 22.04 (or 22.10). The software it ships is simply too old. You need Linux 6.0 (6.1 is preferred; 6.2 will be even better, when it comes out), LLVM 15 and Mesa 22.2 (although a newer version would be better as well). Fedora 37 should have all of this (although you may need to update it first), and Arch does as well. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What's your current experience with WSL?
    Ubuntu is the gold standard for generic starter distro. I use Fedora, which provides a stock but modern Linux distro (systemd, pipewire, Gnome, etc) and with slightly newer package versions tan Ubuntu. Others eventually get into Mint, Manjaro, or Arch. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What is this INTTF ? Apparently I can’t boot the distro while secure boot is on.
    Did you just install? If so, just nuke it and and download from Fedora's actual site. Source: over 1 year ago
