After using Fedora for a few days I do not care for the desktop environment and hot keys

But holy fuck how have I been sleeping on toolboxes?

The dev environment is great, I’m loving it. I even installed fedora 43 in a container to test out some rocm features and I didn’t even need to reboot.

What desktop environment are you using, KDE Plasma?

But yeah, Bazzite is immutable Fedora, and distrobox is essential (and comes pre-installed).

Gnome, which I used to love 20 years ago lol

I thought Bazzite was just for gaming… o would rather a near immutable distribo, once it’s set up with VPN and stuff I want everything else in containers and running at user privileges.

I despise Gnome these days, used to love it back in the Gnome 2 days.

Give KDE Plasma a try with Fedora, it’s pretty darn awesome.

I’ll give it a try this weekend

Just installed it, it's much better, and actually works with my thunderbolt display.

Coming from almost 20 years of macos, I am not used to the taskbar + windowing layout, but I'll see if I can customize that a bit more. Hotkeys are better than Gnome though.

It's geared towards gaming, but it's a fully functioning distro.

But yeah if you're not using it for gaming, it's based on Fedora Kinoite I think.

I might check that out.

I would use it for gaming but I have a Studio Display which my framework seems to not like (which I mostly name in Apple… the interop is awful but it’s a beautiful monitor).

When I figure things out more I’ll try and move it to my tv though.
