just upgrade from Fedora 32 to Fedora 34. the upgrade really smooth, less than 1 hour.
Would be nice if Fedora improved its GUI package management. It's slow and the interface is pretty bad. I tried every solution I could find over a period of 18 months, but in the end the solution that worked was installing Ubuntu. It was my personal laptop so I was able to give it such a long try; obviously this wouldn't have gone on very long on a work machine.
I've been an Ubuntu user for ages, any reasons to switch to Fedora?
But overall, they are really similar.
While pipewire still needs a lot of work and some people will see regressions in their workflow, this change is so much better than the pulseaudio disaster. It already enables things like more reasonable Bluetooth access, BT codec/profile switching, close to real-time audio, etc. With updated pipewire you can run jack applications like guitarix and ardour and they just work. With pipewire updated from copr repositori…
Pipewire was way rockier even a few months ago. It's gotten quite good especially since 0.3.25.
Ed. mfrey also has a copr with a nightly build. But this is unstable, obviously. My copr just has release builds.
I have been running the beta in my laptop perfectly and the multi-touch gestures added in Gnome 40 makes it the best laptop DE for me. When I tried to install on my desktop, Nvidia drivers made the experience a nightmare. Nvidia does make free distros a pain.
This sounds like a great improvement! Is this Gnome-specific or can we soon expect to see this in other DEs as well?

I use Fedora because i like to have the vanilla GNOME experience out of the box. I also like that i don't need to undo all the snap stuff like in current Ubuntu versions, just plain old boring packages (snap and flatpak are both optional). But overall, they are really similar.
