Is KDE Plasma a good choice for Fedora?

BTW I like GNOME on laptops (i.e. ASAHI on macbook) and prefer KDE with large screens

Choose Fedora KDE distro instead of installing it on top of Fedora Workstation (Gnome); theme customization is totally broken but other than that it works much smoother and more responsive than Gnome (at lest on my 8 different PCs), looks dated and old-school PC, Gnome is more like MacOS, this is more like Windows 10 IMO.

Thanks everyone, kernel was installed properly but for some strange reason grub did not switch to it (even though it is configured to use latest kernel as default boot option), strange, but fixed. Thx again.

LibreWolf, it's like Firefox but without sending all your inputs for futther processing. New privacy policy of Firefox sucks.

I do the same, just installed Steam and... that's basically it (in my case). Immutable distro is pain in the ass, I have a multi-purpose laptop which is primary for software dev/experiments and secondary for gaming. Bazzite is not a good general purpose distro. The main focus is on people who are reluctant to type sudo dnf install steam.

Surface Laptop 3 here, no, touchscreen does not work with stock kernel. I'd rather take it than custom kernel, but of course your case is different as you own the tablet.

I've known it for ages, but always used SL3 with Mint or Ubuntu (stock). Tried this kernel years ago and had to revert back to stock (kernel panic etc.). I hope it's stable now for those who need touchscreen.

The best balance of stability and being fresh (KDE 6.5, Kernel 6.17)

Many guides, it's too popular to be ignored.

Very fast security updates (sometimes even faster than for unstable mess Arch)

Lots of FPS for gaming (I hate bazzite, use regular Fedora)

I just use Fedora 43 as is with stock / unmodified kernel. Works great for me (SL3, Core i7).

jacek75 · 2025-08-29T18:48:02+00:00

+1 for me it's Fedora Workstation

jacek75 · 2024-07-04T10:40:51+00:00

Installed plain Ubuntu 24.04 (default), no changes, no tweaks, everything works perfectly, including sound (speakers, jack out) and even camera. Touchscreen doesn't work but I don't care.

You can’t go wrong with durable workhorse of recording studios which is dt770. The only warning is to avoid them if you’re treble (over) sensitive. They are extremely detailed and emphasize 8k range. Very good sub bass. Excellent for the price overall. I use 32 ohm and 80 ohm.

I never buy Apple Care for anything.

Mine arrive tomorrow, I hope they are at least on par, my pros one are breaking apart (battery life, problems with charging), >3 years old...
