Been running Fedora since June of last year, and it's the most "boring" distro I've ever used. It's been rock solid and I haven't experienced a single issue. None! I have an all-AMD build. The funny thing is that I recently installed Ubuntu 23.10 on a different PC, and I managed to break it after a couple of hours 😂
Been using Linux on and off since 2008 (ish).
Yt-dlp is also available on Windows. No reason to spin up wsl or a Linux distro. There are also plenty of yt-dlp apps with GUI for those who don't want to use a terminal.
I just checked r/Forza (yes, I just had to!) and booooy are people struggling with this game on PC. This might be one of the worst optimized PC releases of 2023, with a bunch of bugs and glitches included. Easily up there with the Last of Us, and maybe even worse.
Benchmarks vs RX 6600 and RTX 3050.
Good god this game needs A LOT of work and patches. Runs like absolute shit, shaders are buggy and shitty looking, textures look like something from the PS3 era, VRAM leak, etc etc.
On the bright side, driving physics is great, and I find the whole progression stuff good. Racing is fun. The rest of it needs a bunch of work, though. Gonna wait it out a bit until they've patched it a couple of times, or fifteen.
After booting into Windows, you know, an actual functioning OS, and fixed the issue within 4 seconds, I'm quite enjoying myself. This is actually fun, and the neanderthals just keep on coming! Btw, I use Arch.
Thank you for a proper reply. That could in fact be the case. I booted into Windows and tried to move all my movies into the folder, and it worked without issues, so I'm not entirely sure what happened in Fedora, but oh well.
Awww, did I hurt your little teeny tiny brain? Btw, this comment is not open-source, so FUCK OFF. Heil Google.
A LOT OF HURT NECKBEARDS HERE RIGHT NOW. OUCH! HOW COULD THE ALL MIGHTY LINUX FAIL AT SUCH A SIMPLE TASK! LET'S BURY THIS WITH DOWNVOTES 😂
Update: Booted into Windows, and it actually worked fine there. Thanks
Booted into Windows and it moved everything just fine. Case closed.
It is indeed NTFS. I use the same HDD between a Fedora and Win 11 dual-boot, then the single HDD is being used by Plex, so no matter if I'm logged into Fedora or Win 11, it'll mount and read the content. It's just acting REALLY weird right now. About half of the content got moved to the new folder, while the rest of them errors out.
Well, the latest update is that I just opened the folder that it refuses to copy to, and there are indeed copies of the folders and files that I try to copy, but not all. What is going on, lol.
Nautilus. Drag and drop. Worked perfectly fine until it suddenly didn't.
Oooh, that's right. I forgot about that, but that makes total sense. Oh well, we'll manage!
Just ran dnf upgrade (Fedora) and it upgraded some packages and then the alphabet died.
Closing and opening it again "fixed" it, so nothing to worry about, but I've never ever experienced this before, lol.

Dual-booting Windows 11 and Fedora 38. Gaming on Win 11 is, as expected, most times great. I want to migrate to Fedora and use it as a daily driver, and while it does a damn good job at doing just that, it's disturbingly aweful at gaming. I've installed Steam and I set out to try a couple of games to see what it would handle.
It should be noted that I'm not a hardcore gamer, and I've historically not gamed on PC (but PS and Xbox), so I don't have quite the extensive library of games on Steam like many others do. I've got Game Pass, but that won't help me here. Anyhow... the games I've tried to run are games that I currently have on Steam.
Hardware:
-
CPU: Ryzen 5 4600G
-
GPU: RX 6700 XT
-
RAM: 32 GB 3200 MHz
-
SSD: 4 TB M.2
-
I expected Civilization VI to run fine, and... it did. although anti-aliasing decided not to work.
-
Humankind, does not run. At all.
-
Broforce does in fact run perfectly fine!
-
F1 2015 (don't laugh, it was free), does run and it does in fact run at max settings, but the controls (keyboard + xbox) are fucked, so that's also a no go.
-
Red Dead Redemption 2, hahaha no.
-
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, hahah no, for some reason.
While I "love" and support "Linux", this doesn't cut it. Why am I even "here"? I've been using "Linux" for at least 15 years (incl. Windows),but if I want to play a God damn fucking game, I want to play it now, not tomorrow, or after I've googled a fucking hack that'll break x amount of shit and take me hours to get running. This is why I'll still use Win 11 as my daily.
Fedora as an OS is smooth, quick AF and I very much like it. Gaming on it? God no.
My point is, while Win 11 is basically "don't worry, it'll run!", Linux (or Fedora at least is "I don't know... maybe?". That won't convince a lot of people, and currently not me.
EDIT: THIS IS WHY LEMMY IS BETTER THAN REDDIT. HUMAN CONVERSATION. THANK YOU ALL
