Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

    1. I made a post the other day how Fedora KDE doesn’t render CJK fonts properly. MPV also wasn’t rendering fonts properly so I had to manually add a font in mpv.conf.

    2. When I installed Fedora KDE, there was a button to enable third party repos. It actually worked but it only enables NVIDIA and Steam repos so I had to go over to rpmfusion to get the ones for non-free ffmpeg.

    3. I have a wireless pen tablet from XP Pen and I need to close and open the XP Pen app to get it to connect every time. It doesn’t seem to “wake” automatically whenever I turn my tablet on. (nvm, using OpenTabletDriver instead fixes it)

    4. On Fedora, installing DaVinci Resolve seems tricky. Don’t know if I should use davincibox or davinci-helper.

    This is my first time using Fedora and KDE on my desktop. It’s also been 2 years since I last used Linux on bare metal.
