Just wanted to say I made the switch yesterday from Windows 11 to Fedora Linux, no dual booting. It took multiple installs though because the first two times I followed old instructions for installing the Nvidia drivers. The third time I found out that I can just install them through the software center when third party repositories are enabled and that worked like a breeze.

And I have to say it's a really good thing that the installer for Fedora is getting an overhaul soon because Anaconda is horribly confusing in its UX.

Edit: just wanted to add a hyfetch screenshot:

I already have some experience with Fedora Server where I selfhost my stuff so I'm confident that I will have the same experience.

Great! Always good to see people leaving windows. As someone, who for about 15 years, said "linux isn't ready yet" and then finally switched 99% to linux, it is very painful to use windows these days. I had to test something on windows the other day and literally had to reboot 4 times for updates because it had been like 2 months since I updated.

I'm still using Windows on my work laptop don't know if I will switch to Linux there as well because there is so much to setup for work 😅

haha I had a coworker who worked a dev role at a corporation and he simply refused to follow the IT processes. He just installed linux and told them to leave him alone every time they complained. I don't think I could pull that off though
