Hello all, I’ve been distro hopping a lot lately and have a long term goal of settling on one distro for the family laptops.

Currently it’s a smattering of linux distro’s and some M$ across all the systems in the house.

In short the fam has had a pretty negative reaction to Gnome for all the usual reasons, so there is a kubuntu instance, Nobara, but the KDE version, Manjaro etc… I kind of want to give Fedora a stint on my laptop and noticed the Fedora spins project and was wondering if anyone has played around with it at all?

I spun up the KDE version in a VM alongside the default Fedora and noticed it’s running a newer kernel than the default, which is interesting…

Is it an equal partner in update cycles?

    I have replaced windows with Fedora KDE on both my PC and my laptop. Overall it works pretty well. On my laptop I didn’t had any issue so far (recent ThinkPad with AMD). On the PC I had an issue recently where the GUI was not loading anymore. But I think an Nvidia Driver update may have caused it. Besides that almost everything works very well even with gaming. Biggest drawback is that the auto update setting doesn’t seem to work with KDE. There is an open bug which has not been solved yet. This is a bit annoying since you get updates daily and you have to do them manually atm.

      On NVIDIA I highly recommend ublue.it Images. They have NVIDIA variants. If you get an update and it breaks you can roll back to an entirely working system.

      The only problem I would see is not realizing the NVIDIA update, updating once more and the backup is gone. That should be fixed somehow and its totally possible.

      And you can still rebase to an older version I think. Havent done that though.
