Just use Fedora. It just werks (most times).


I like the very non-windows very non-mac ui of omarchy.

UI is desktop environment and (usually) ports to large-use distros cleanly.

I run Niri and Dank Material Sell on Fedora. It’s perfect, and better than Omarchy from what I’ve seen. I much prefer scrolling window managers to tilers.

Fedora is an arse to use. most of the distros for non free software are targeted at stable RHEL, so are miles out of date.

You only get 6 months of updates, at which point everything break subtly, or not if you use nvidia.

ubuntu with a custom GUI is the way forward, at least compared to fedora.


is there a fedora 44 ws with non free package built in ?

You still have to use rpmfusion, which isn’t a huge deal. It’s maybe 5 min one time and then you are set.

Or you could use one of the Universal Blue spins. Bluefin and Aurora have non-free stuff built in and you can install pretty much any package from anywhere.


oh thanks a ton
