In this video, I compare CachyOS and Bazzite from install to daily use, including first login, updates, system settings, software installs, desktop polish, tools, themes, wallpapers, release cycle, and my final verdict.
In this video, I take Fedora 44 for a spin and look at the new desktop experience, including GNOME 50, KDE Plasma 6.6, Linux 6.19, DNF5, installer updates, and the overall feel of Fedora’s latest release.
I also show off the new Toolbox app that has been rebuilt using Rust which replaces Python. The app runs on Fedora, Debian, and Arch. Let me know what you think.
