    I’ve always gave Linux a try for a week or so over many years but then crawled back to Windows. First time I’ve actually found it somewhat viable and I stuck to it for over a month was with Proton release but at that point there were still too many pain points while using it.

    Then when Windows started pushing Recall I went to Fedora 38 and it lasted me for almost 6 months before I went back to W11 due to many issues related to just basic use on desktop due to buggy nature of KDE 5 with which I’ve lost patience.

    Starting with Fedora 40 and with GNOME starting supporting VRR I’ve been on Linux since and had no real desire to go back since. So it seems that for my use case Linux finally got to the point where Windows is not a necessary thing for me, in fact I dread going back whenever I think about it as now there are things I would miss by switching back to Windows.

    Also I use Windows 11 at my job and I really hate it, multi-tasking is so much better even with just single monitor on Linux vs Dual monitor on Windows… Also I just really like GNOME, even before I’ve even tried GNOME I’ve customized my KDE to be GNOME like before even realizing it. And yes, I’ve tried KDE 6 but it’s not for me. I plan to try Hyprland though as that seems more interesting but I dread moving on from Fedora as it works well for me so I don’t really have any need to disto hop.

    I just use regular Fedora 42 Workstation and it works without issues. Bazzite is basically gaming focused Fedora 42 Silverblue (immutable) but I personally don’t like immutability.

    CachyOS is worth a try as well, that’s a gaming focused Arch distro, though I just like Fedora too much and didn’t enjoy using CachyOS

    Honestly though, any of those will work fine for you, especially if you have no point of reference to compare in between them.







  • So got GSConnect to work… I had to also enable it in Extension manager for some reason. I had no idea it’s an extension since I’ve just i stalled it as RPM package from the discover store.

    Anyhow, it’s just confusing. I was installing KDE Connect on both my PC and laptop. I never even heard of GSConnect until I started troubleshooting and I thought it’s just some GNOME fork of KDE-Connect, not actually a mandatory replacement for KDE-Connect on GNOME.

    It may make sense in the name but the name makes it even more confusing. Since it works on Android/Windows,… Why would I not assume it will work on Linux GNOME?
