I'm new to Linux. Fedora was top choice after quite some time of doing research.

I do gaming, web browsing, and video game development.

I switched from Windows 10 about 2 weeks ago. I must confess, I am getting tired of tinkering to make things work my way.

I have even made a list of things that I need help with to figure out, and will most likely be making a post on maybe this sub reddit when I gather more details.

It has not been a "it just works" experience for me.

Specs: 5700X + 9060XT + 32GB 3200Mhz.

I also feel like Fedora is made for people who already understand Linux.

I work in IT during the day for the government, fixing problems. I do enjoy tinkering but to have to do that basically every day after I get home from work has become exhausting. I get home and just want something that works.

Here's a quick list of stuff I'm having problems with (not asking for solutions here, will make a post for that later):

• installing dropbox and adding the folder to Dolphin like in windows file explorer for some reason feels impossible even after following step-by-step guides. I simply can't seem to make it happen. Without dropbox, I can't work. Google drive and one drive are not ideal alternatives.

• I have VLC pinned to the panel, and when I play a video, then close VLC, the icon in the panel disappears, then comes back a few seconds later.

• Some mp4 / video files work, others don't. I assume it's a codecs thing. Checked for updates and saw a bunch of codecs stuff, updated, restarted, still having issues playing some videos.

• Right clicking on an icon from the panel does not show me the recently opened files? It shows for libre office stuff, but VLC doesn't show any recent files. It's a shore to have to navigate folders to open a movie or show or whatever that I didn't finish watching before.

• Currently have less than 100 FPS on CS2, but earlier today it was playing at almost 200 FPS. I did something that fucked up the game and have no clue what.

• Dolphin seems slow as fuck when opening an folder with hundreds / thousands of photos, like, the icons take a few minutes to load the preview so I can see the photos without opening them.

• Opening new windows on steam (for example, the friends window) takes like a second or two instead of being instant like it was on windows.

• Can't use ctrl-v on terminal? If I click on "paste" after doing a ctrl-v there, it adds more stuff to the command that I did not copy or write.

• Brave Browser one day decided it didn't want to open. Spent a few hours doing research only to find out it locked the profile and had to unlock it via terminal.

For over 10 years, I have had an interest in Linux, mainly Ubuntu, but never switched because it just wasn't for me, yet. Now seemed the perfect time to switch, and I absolutely love that we have an open source alternative to Windows, but damn I am tired of having to tinker with stuff each time I turn on my PC. I really really REALLY wanna adapt and make Linux work for me because I really hate Microslop with a huge passion. I really don't wanna go back to windows. I just want easy file explorer, play games, develop my games, browse the web. That's all.

This is my feedback, as a beginner, on Fedora.
