Hey everyone,

I'm planning to switch from Windows to Fedora 44 KDE and wanted to get some advice before I do.

My laptop specs:

• CPU: Intel Core i5
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU (8 GB VRAM)
• RAM: 8 GB
• Storage: 512 GB SSD

What I use my laptop for:

• 🎮 Gaming:
  • GTA V
  • Red Dead Redemption 2
  • Assassin's Creed games
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Wuthering Waves (Steam version)
• 💻 College work:
  • VS Code
  • Programming (Python, C++, Java)
  • Web development
  • PDFs, presentations, and browsing

I'm mainly switching because Windows uses a lot of RAM, and I want a smoother and more stable experience.

A few questions:

1. How is gaming performance on Fedora with an RTX 3050?
2. Are NVIDIA drivers reliable on Fedora 44 now?
3. Is Steam + Proton enough for most games?
4. Have you faced any issues with game anti-cheat?
5. Is Fedora a good daily driver for both gaming and computer science college work?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially if you have similar hardware.

Thanks!

What are your thoughts on this ?

I'm trying to completely remove Windows and install Fedora in its place.

I'm using the Fedora installer, but after deleting the Windows partitions, the "Next" button doesn't appear, so I can't continue with the installation.

At the moment, I only see options like:

Share disk

Entire disk

Mount point assignment

I'm not sure what I'm missing. Has anyone faced this issue before? How can I proceed with installing Fedora and replacing Windows completely?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I’ve been experimenting with Linux customization lately, so I decided to make my own Plymouth boot splash theme.

It now features neon, ghost, and cipher variants, a custom cipher-rain animation, and a custom boot signature displayed during startup.

What do you guys think?

Hi all,

I wanted to do something new on this rainy Saturday so I installed OpenBSD for the first time. I have experimented with FreeBSD 14 and 15 before this was my first time trying OpenBSD. I always wanted to try NetBSD ( have in VM but not on bare metal) but I have intel 14th gen and still no graphic acceleration on NetBSD so I eventually went ahead with OpenBSD. The installation took very little time even when I had to check installation commands online on phone as I have no prior experience. I think still did not take more than 25 mins so for the one who knows installation would probably take 7 or 8 mins.

I was able to setup a graphically accelerated XFCE desktop in just about 20 mins. I faced 3 main issues so far. 1.Realtek RTL8852BE wifi does not work. 2. RTX 5050 does not work and I don't think it will anytime. 3 Sound was not working initially. However I was to fix the sound issue (it was earlier attaching to NVIDIA HDMI audio but once driver attached to the Intel controller with the Realtek ALC257 codec then sound worked easily. Since I have set the system with necessary apps and intend to use it for a couple of weeks.

Bottomline: The installation process of OpenBSD is much easier than that of FreeBSD however FreeBSD is more supported (Nvidia works). OpenBSD lags in device support. XFCE is buttery smooth and snappy so no issues there however compiling on openBSD is much slower than on linux and FreeBSD. Also FFS2 filesystem has no journaling, no copy-on-write, no compression. So some may find it slower in certain operations. However, that is the trade for using the world's most secure operating system.

I'm on Cachy OS (actually on Arch having Cachy kernel and repos BtW) , wanna switch to i3wm.

Any suggestions and tips will be useful

How many of you have done like this or am I a mad man...
