▲ 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)
