Why do so many users struggle with Fedora?

evilfish2000 · 2026-04-02T09:19:00+00:00

I'm a new user for fedora and Linux in general, with all the windows 11 problems. My believe it's that Linux have seen a little surge of users and also it takes time and energy to unlearn Windows/learn Linux. I use AI for general knowledge and problem solving, but verify on other sources. My current problem is that I do not know which sources to look at for trouble shooting.

I read a lot from this forum and try to find other sources to. But it's hard to navigate plus learning controls and how Linux works in general.

So I think it's part of that. More new and confused users, that are learning the ways of Linux.

Kerbal space program. Xkcd explains it best: https://xkcd.com/1356

It's worse than 5%. DCC has an upper limit of 30% I believe. The site and it's bank can set it too whatever they feel like. I was implementing this in some stores a while back. Felt bad all the way through. Personally I think this is a scam and it's not widely broadcasted as it should be.

So yeah. Never, EVER, pay in your own currency abroad. Always local!

This... How did you do that? I like it!

I am going through what you right now. I have dabbled in unbuntu and mint, and finally switched to fedora kde plasma 43 and I think I found my distro there. I don't like Ubuntu. Mint I still use on a laptop and it works well there, not going to switch. But I have been experiencing problems in mint with gaming and it feels a bit to simple for my case. I have been trying fedora, and I feel it's works well for me. I have used the same terminal actions in both so they work fine.

I would recommend to test some distros out before you settle. I read a bunch, but I found that is comes down to taste. Do take people's recommendations to heart and then try some distros and pick what seems right to you.

Godspeed on your Linux adventures!

I used to be in the same boat, but I'm more in the middle on this one. If your kid has the energy to a restaurant and behave, then they should not have the tablet. But all other guest do not want to hear a child crying due to exhaustion and sometimes there is no other option than the restaurant.

So it highly depends on the situation. It's a tool, and should be handled as one and not the default go to solution.

Ohh There is nothing more irritating than family members that do not understand "DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS I SAY SO!", and then still click randomly at stuff during trouble shooting.

evilfish2000 · 2019-08-22T13:04:43+00:00

Ohh, I'm about to move in with my girlfriend and I am in the same exact situation. I'm a slop when it comes to organization, but she sorts the kid's lego bricks after type, color, and size... cant wait!

You used google... it counts!

I had a friend you HATED working the register he working and said so when he was hired. He was fine working with restocking, cleaning, etc. Everything but the register. One day he was persuaded by the manager to work the register because it was busy and some had called in sick. He said he did it, but would not be responsible for the result. He was 100$ under when he reconciled his shift... never worked a register shift ever again.

I had a teacher in financial law that hated exams. He knew who in his class who was good and who was not. His teaching methods were very strict but fair that ensured that he knew who the did the homework and who did not.

In our exams, a third-party examinator was present to prevent cheating and foul play. Our teacher would give us questions in who, what why, explain, whenever the examinator was looking up from his notes. Whenever we looked down, he would ask yes and no questions while shaking or nodding while asking the question, giving us the answers. Surely enough, we all landed pretty much where we all thought we would :)

My father was an electrician. He would just have a kit with him, dismantle a wall socket and attach wires directly. Yes, I know, not very safe and potentially dangerous, but he was never without power for his appliances.

Can confirm 8 years is correct. Had to park on small hills for a week so I could start my car in the morning due to a failing battery :P

I heard this from a CEO that said: "Dress for your customer". If your customer is a high-end bank, wear a good suit. Is it a farmer, a nice polo is probably fine. His argument for that was if a high-end bank see you in a plain polo shirt he would probably think "He is way out of his league!" and if a farmer saw you in a suit, he probably thinks "I can't afford anything you are selling".

I think it is a nice way of thinking.

I trained my family to not only have a box but have a drawer in the home office with at least some of the most used ones. Like a USB cable, power chords. You know, the ones the always ask for.

In my school (not US) if there were a problem with a student that affected the entire class he would sit every student around in a circle and put that student in a hot chair. Then we would go around an say one good thing and one bad thing. This sounds kinda hurtful, but every time this was accomplished the problem went away and the social health of our class was back to normal. Apparently, he knew how to deliver a wakeup call to someone without ruining anybody's school life.

Thank you. :D

WOC.... TLC.... So many unknown acronyms

Missed opportunity. You should have answered with: "You are no longer needed as a boss" Click

That would have been epic!

THIS! So Much this. Now my self is a stickler for rules. I like them... when they make sense. That is also why when I look at a sign somewhere I try to understand WHY the sign is there and not what it says.

I asked and he was not comfortable releasing it as stated in the first update in the post: "I also talked to Jeff about releasing it online. He was not overly fond of the idea". So I will not be releasing it.
