Updated to Fedora 45 Workstation without a hitch and I didn’t notice anything new or exciting but that is honestly OK with me. One of the things I dislike about modern updates (e.g. Android) is that they always seem to change how things look or function with little obvious benefit. I have been using Fedora since 43 and the only thing I had to fiddle with was the Super I/O module so that I could get “Sensors” working and it has been rock solid since then through two major updates.

I love the combination of the clean UI and desktop environment, great gaming performance, and packages that are “almost” rolling-release fresh. I haven’t tried Arch yet but I did start out with Ubuntu about 10 years ago and Mint more recently so Fedora seems like a solid middle of the road option which I definitely recommend for anyone who is looking to try out a different distro.

Looks like a toddler who is actively shitting his diaper (probably is). Best part is he was recently talking a bunch of shit about Spain and now they won “his” world cup.

+1 Fedora (Workstation, in my case) When I set up Fedora on the machines I loaded it on, I normally allocate 50 GB to /root and the balance of the space to /home after setting up my swap and /boot partitions. This has worked well for me so far, YMMV. It also sounds like its not a bad idea to leave a small percentage of a drive un-allocated but I haven’t done this personally.
