Two years into full-time Linux and I’m finally burning the distro-hopping cycle. I fell for the Arch/AUR trap for a while, but I got tired of spending my weekends debugging file manager crashes instead of maintaining my home lab.

Switched back to Fedora, and it’s boring in exactly the way I need it to be. It’s a stable launchpad for my projects, not the project itself.

I just swapped over yesterday to Fedora from Ubuntu. It’s been a good experience so far! Except for installing nvidia drivers, still working on that

    Why do distros make that so difficult?

    # pacman -S nvidia
    # systemctl reboot
    

    Good to go. 🚀

    Fedora doesn't ship proprietary NVIDIA drivers in its official repos and doesn't include 3rd party repos with proprietary software either. This is for licensing and I guess philosophical reasons. Arch has a different approach. That's why.

    Shouldn't be difficult. Add the rpmfusion repo and install drivers (with akmods that handles everything when the driver / kernel updates). Instructions on the rpmfusion web site. After that, setup dnf-automatic and you're done.
