  No hate, but I am relieved to switch back to Windows 10 after a year of Fedora. Partly because I need Windows for work, but mostly because Fedora and GNOME suck.

      Fedora:

      1. Missing Basic GUI Settings

      • Startup applications
      • No full shortcut customization
      • Need to install extensions for basic features
      • Media codecs missing by default (no clear indication or prompt)
      • You need to enable RPM Fusion (no prompt, hidden toggle)
      • Apps not installed via the software center must be removed via the terminal
      • Editing app menu entries through a third-party app (unstable / breaks frequently)

      2. Issues

      • Wi-Fi not working initially
      • Onboard GPU not working initially (and also no indication, noticed it in system monitor)
      • Couldn’t get the printer driver to work
      • GRUB menu became misconfigured
      • System stopped booting at some point

      GNOME

      (GNOME used in Fedora Workstation)

      1. UI Design

      • No app dock by default
      • App grid/selector sucks
      • No minimize button by default
      • Calculator results cannot be copied
      • Search resets when exiting search view
      • Thunderbird tray not working

      2. Customization

      • Cannot properly remap the Windows/Super key
      • Very limited ability to customize touchpad gestures

      3. Wayland / Mutter Compositor

      • GNOME uses Mutter compositor, which has no support for gtk4-layer-shell
      • Wayland-based design restricts certain behaviors
      • Some apps, like Activity Watch, don’t work due to Wayland’s security philosophy

      I’m sure one day Linux will run the top professional CAD programs. One day.
