As to you too!!!

Maybe you’re right. My main GUI has always been Windows and I’m used to having apps that is more mainstream.

But maybe it’s not just that I’m not familiar with Fedora.

I am a developer with Linux racks at home. So I’m not unfamiliar with Linux. I’m quite familiar with CLI.

I think the main point I’m making is that my system was crashing too much due to poor HW drivers. Even tho it’s really not the fault of Linux, it’s just too buggy to be running in production. At least the GUI isn’t ready. My Linux servers had been bulletproof.

Yes for sure I had too new of a system and nobody has figured out the bugs yet. Most of this fault is from the hardware corps.

I think for a high performance late model Linux, this is too bleeding edge for Linux. Without HW support, new hardware simply isn’t ready for production.

Maybe I’ll wait a year or so and try again. Hopefully they work out the kinks.

Thanks man. Windows get a bad rap and I bitch about it all the time, esp with what they are doing now with their copilot and shit. But at the end of the day, their shit works. Poorly, but works. And in my line of work, stability is the key metric.

Surprising enough the video drivers was pretty painless. So many people before me already solved the issues. I was able to get 240fps on my monitor when previous attempts have failed.

The main issue was the motherboard. It’s too “new” and I ended up having to build a bunch of drivers to just get my computer to work exactly what Windows provided out the box.

There is so much hate for Windows, but you can’t beat their commitment to stability and backwards compatibility.

Linux has an uphill battle. With how poorly Wayland is performing and the x11 crew not embracing it and how stable Apple and Windows OS is. Linux is not ready. This is coming from a developer POV.

I gave Linux another try lately and went back to Wondows. I already had Fedora all my secondary laptops, but wanted it to be my primary personal+work system.

I purchased a brand new built computer. AMD 9950X AMD Creator B870X with 10Gbe PNY 5080 16GB 128GB DDR5 6400 cls 30

After installing Fedora, almost immediately my wifi wouldn’t work. And both my 1Gbe and 10Gbe would work and randomly disconnect. I was finally able to fix it with drivers that I built and fixes in bootup.

I spent a good week working on this including getting used to a alternative Adobe apps and figuring out how to use Bottles for some of my crucial work app.

While in the middle of me coding for work, the computer experienced a panic. But not a regular panic. Because no matter what I do, the panic wouldn’t record a log. I went as far as building an app to try and capture the panic. No go.

Before you tell me to use Ubuntu or whatever. This problem isn’t a Wayland problem. This happened in Ubuntu as well.

The amount of time spent and work lost and client zoom calls that crash makes it impossible to have Fedora/Linux as a work system. I gave up. Went back to Windows. I’m still using WSL. It’s just that Windows is simply more stable at the moment.

I did install Winhance which eliminated the over-reaching Microsoft problem.
