That actually looks awesome! I can’t even tell there ever was something wrong with it. Get that bond back!

And my recommendation of KDE as opposed to GNOME was because I think it is more similar to the experience someone would have coming from Windows, not necessarily related to any problems with gaming

As do I! I have been a Fedora GNOME user for the past three years now, and I love it. Gaming won’t necessarily be impacted by using Fedora as opposed to Bazzite, after all Bazzite is just Fedora with some stuff on top. And that’s my point: if you are a more advanced user then you’ll appreciate not having those things on top and being able to customize your system more to your liking, and be aware of what things you’re installing because you’re doing it manually (as opposed to having them bundled with the system), but those things will make the experience smoother for a newcomer who’s afraid of making the jump, as OP is. Because yes, having pre-installed drivers, pre-installed compatibility layers and a set-up dialog when you first boot the system that allows you to install all basic software will make it easier, even if it’s not needed. Plus, Bazzite is atomic, which Fedora isn’t, and therefore harder to break (or rather, easier to repair, by just returning to the last working image, which should be as easy as selecting it on start-up)

If you do ANY gaming at all: Bazzite KDE

If you don’t: Fedora KDE

Can we see? :)

Got a second-hand Fairphone nine months ago after my older phone broke beyond repair and I’m really happy with it planning on using it at the very least until the start of 2027 and then upgrade to a more recent but still cheap second-hand version

May I ask what the money paid for exactly? Here in Spain it’s only meds that we would pay for (and not even if you’re low income and entitled to government money), everything else is 100 % free

AFAIK every function of NoScript exists in uBlock Origin. So just get uBO and cut the redundancy. The less vectors the better

Have you considered running the software you need from a virtual machine inside your Linux distro?

If you are going to play games you might as well go and try Bazzite instead! It’s built on a Fedora base with some good additions:

• It’s atomic: this basically means that everytime yov boot your computer you’ll have the choice of booting onto the newest version of your system, or the one before. If you fuck up anything it’s as easy as reverting to the last version where things were alright!

• It comes with a bunch of preloaded drivers and compatibility layers: makes compatibility with modern games and software as good as you can get it without having to tinker heaps. It’s pretty seamless.

• The installer includes many programs by default. Just tick a few boxes and you can choose to have Spotify, OBS, Discord or Darktable automatically installed in your computer

As for the documented support you can probably go a long way with the Arch, Gentoo and Fedora wikis. Other than that I’m afraid it’s gonna be relying on forums and Reddit. I’ve never irreversably broken my Fedora system for what is worth, and I don’t consider myself that tech savvy!

Game support is also really good these days. Anything that you can play via Steam will basically run. And performance is better for some games on Linux these days! Itch.io also has good support I think. You should be able to run most things that don’t use shady anti-cheat, but forget about League of Legends, Valorant or Fortnite.

I’m not sure what you mean by Linux version! But Fedora (and Bazzite) belong to their own “branch” of Linux, apart from Debian and Arch. Their philosophy is a balance between rock-solid stability (Debian) vs bleeding-edge software (Arch) that many people, including me, think hits the sweet spot quite well!

If there’s anything I missed or you are curious feel free to ask more questions :)

The days of “chanting magic spells at computer” being synonymous with the Linux experience are far gone. I recommend you just make a Fedora installer and take it for a spin on the live test system! You don’t need to commit to it to just try it

I doubt the AI is getting the proportions right. And none of these look like actual places even for one second
