I am currently running Xubuntu on all my systems but there are so many things that feel rather unstable/buggy - I am sure it is not all Xubuntus/Xfce’s fault, but my knowledge is limited so I just attribute it to that.
Therefore, I am currently considering switching to Fedora. I feel like it is time trying out a new desktop (KDE) and a more up to date kernel. I am not entirely sure what I am hoping from this post, but maybe a “yea, it is worth it” would ease my mind a bit.
Also, I am a bit unsure how to easily move between them (programs and data).
To name a few of the bugs I encountered in the past:
- When connecting screens, quite often the created profile is ignored, screens get disabled, overlapped, … By applying the profile multiple times eventually you can overcome this issue
- Dell specific: Webcam does not work, system sometimes freezes after closing the laptop lid even if sleep mode is deactivated
- Certain shortcuts are bugged (WIN+Left works, WIN+Right doesn’t. When you reset WIN+Right, it works until the next restart)
I did read everything and I appreciate your writing! I might give Fedora another try at some point but I’ve stopped distro-hopping for a while now. Manjaro on my laptop for 7 years, Debian on servers, I’m a happy man.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it 😊!
It’s a big honour that you’re even reconsidering your stance on Fedora. Thank you! But, honestly 😜, I wasn’t interested in proselytizing Fedora or anything. I wanted to better understand your stance and perhaps[1] learn something in the process.
I’m glad to hear you are 😊. Have (another) good one, fam!
Which I did, so thank you 😊! ↩︎
