▲ 20 r/Fedora

New To Linux

I'm tired of Windows and want to eventually make a switch to Linux. My question is: Is Fedora or a fork of it the right distro for me?

I know Nobara is a fork that could work for me, but I prefer Fedora (even I don't know why).

Hardware:

  • ASUS ROG laptop
  • AMD Ryzen 9 6000-series
  • Nvidia RTX 3060 Laptop GPU

What I want:

  • Lightweight, low bloat, but ships with or easily supports a text editor, VS Code, and common media playback
  • Windows game support via Steam/Proton (no anti-cheat games primarily) + good for running pre-installed games
  • Easy customization (considering KDE Plasma, possibly Hyprland later)
  • Good for daily driving, terminal access is fine but shouldn't be required for everything
  • Good driver support for AMD Ryzen 9 6000-series hybrid GPU + Nvidia 3060
  • ROG hardware support (fan curves, performance profiles, keyboard RGB) equivalent of Armoury Crate
  • Minimal boot time (more of a cool-to-have)
