Heya! Dropping this comment here because you did make a modding on linux video, so I was hoping maybe you could help me out. I have full plans to switch to my arch linux install entirely, but I've been having issues getting overwolf to run. Some people claimed that they got it to run with some minor issues, but I followed every tutorial i could find and nothing worked. Couldn't even get the installer to work much less start the program.
I like being able to use alecaframe because it helps me make plat through trading in warframe. I made a post to the archlinux forums newbie corner and didn't get any help, tried to friend request the person who wrote the guide i followed and didn't get anywhere, and today i'm going to try posting on the archlinux subreddit.
If you can somehow figure it out and make a video about it, it'd be invaluable to me and i'm sure many others. At the very least a guide of your own? I hope i'm not asking for something too niche, if it's not relevant enough though I totally get it.
For all who dont wana deal with so many gnome adjustments and want a windows like experience: Get the KDE version. Safes you ALOT of hassle and looks way better (personal opinion)
I installed my Fedora KDE before when I don't have my Nvidia GPU. I did not install the driver because I am dual boot my computer on Windows. When I installed, Nvidia, I did not install the Nvidia driver on it yet, I used my OS normally in my coding. Now I gonna practice on Flutter, I realized that I have to install the driver on it. But when I installed my driver, my os is ruined. So I gonna try to install Fedora 41 tomorrow but this time is with default Gnome DE. I try it Gnome this afternoon before I installed it tomorrow, and I can't believe it how am I comfortable with it compare to KDE.
My man are you talking about whats new in fedora 41 or gnome improvements? Edit: I watched again, there was barely any mention of what were the core improvements, you did a gnome 47 coverage a month ago, why do it again?
I upgraded today, and I am generally very pleased. What was a bit annoying is that they moved Rstudio to Copr. On another note, I heard rumors that they made some progress regarding color management. Is that true? For me, there's still no display icc applied in Loupe and the PDF viewer, which is truly a bummer if you work with a wide gamut screen.
Almost all things about GNOME… I rarely even look at it any more after using it over a year, because KDE is so much better. I also found I need to do TONS of stuff to GNOME to make it a usable desktop. The default settings are horrible.
My nvidia GPU is not getting offed automatically I am on fedora 41 , it's active all the time , mine is RTX 3050 GPU , I installed drivers by taking reference from rpm fusion , due to this battery is discharging very fast , what to do , I am dual boot with windows 11 , my laptop is Lenovo Idea pad gaming 15IAH7 , 12th Gen , i5
Upgraded from Fedora 40 via the Software Center yesterday..the only thing I had to do is to edit the json file for the Pano Clipboard extension (which I think is the best clipboard manager). Other than that, everything looks great!
I was confused to neither have the experimental features in dconf, nor any of the new settings in GNOME-Settings until I checked the version. I found out that Fedora 41 is still not released in my region in Germany… Have to use ProtonVPN to get it from the US server. It's quite a downer of how bad the situation on German Fedora servers are. I faced many longer downtimes and constantly issues with missing updates. 🙁
Installed Fedora 41 after giving it a try for 20 minutes in live mode. It resolves all the issues I had with fractional scaling on a 4K second monitor. Also the new GNOME 47 with all the tools including calendar are looking very good and the integration with my private cloud worked just fine. Previously I was using Pop!_OS with GNOME 41.X. for almost a year. So far happy with Fedora 41, and I never used Fedora / RHEL based OS before.
For those using the experimental fractional scaling improvements, keep in mind is a little bugged with steam and proton games; the output resolution of them is incorrect at first, they also get scaled independently of the resolution, making them look a little blurry, and alt tabbing may cause display issues since the window gets confused and doesn't know which size it should scale to. It's an experimental option for a reason.
The one major problem I have with GNOME is the app grid, it feels like using a tablet emulator with a keyboard and mouse. There are no keyboard shortcuts, and it feels very buggy to me; though the search function is incredible. I also find fedora's forcing of wayland quite problematic, zoom works ok on gnome – though anotation doesn't work, and kde can't even screen share. I also use a program called activity watch – its like screen time in mac os, which, as far as I can see, doesn't work on wayland too well. Besides these problems, KDE, fedora, and GNOME all destroy windows featurewise, and if those wayland issues are ironed out, I will defo switch to one of them. Currently using windows – switched back from fedora, as I didn't have time to learn linux with all the studying I am doing, but plan to at least switch to mint (since xorg is still supported propely there) once my exams are done.
05:50 While it's interesting to question the paradigm of the whole window interface, in my opinion minimizing is useful and it is not just my Windows bad habits (yes I come from #Windows, you can mock me already). Clearly some windows need to remain open to allow the progress of certain processes (like uploads/downloads/long copy-paste of files/minor renderings or the obvious case of music play) but could be hidden to allow active work in other apps (as long as your RAM can handle them). Yeah, you could move them to another workspace [which takes three steps {opening Activities (Super key), drag and drop app to the different workspace, exit Activities} or could be done in a single step but involves a 4-key shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + arrow keys)] OR you coud minimize it, which takes one single click at the top-right corner of every window (once enabled with #Tweaks). Easy. Not big deal nor much of a hassle but a time saver or time consumer (depending on the case) on the long run. That's why I think minimizing is still useful despite workspaces, and that's why #Gnome hiding the minimize button by default kinda has a downside for me… easily fixable, though, and still doesn't make me stop prefering gnome over other environments.
I couldn't continue to view this video up to the end, your way of talking is too much theatrical, I don't believe you talk even similar to this way with people you know, please just talk naturally.
@michael Horn, Hey! Amazing Videos! For a quite noob on Linux Fedora this is really helpful! I do have one question, I do have fedora since 38 If I remember correctly, now I did install Fedora 41 and Gnome 47, I was using Parsec Gaming to work remotely from other Country, and now Is not working with Hardware, and miy second Screen is not loading, meaning is connecting trough Parsec with software decoder but I can not use de second Display, that is must needed for me to work! Thank you in advance!
I installed fedora a month ago after the hype and all, but it just feels weird for some reason. Debian or Ubuntu or Arch based distributions are good enough for everything

Fedora is the best Linux…..and now finally your can easy to install NVIDIA driver press Software Center
Thx for that short but informative video! exstensions and customizing is what i needed!
I fully switched to linux on my personal all in one desktop in September! I have no regrets!
First time I upgraded a distro. Normally I just do a fresh install, but this went very well!
Just switched from Fedora 40 KDE to Fedora 41 Gnome to try a new desktop, this helped SO MUCH! <3

what are the 3 distros you recommend for a beginner? Is fedora an option? Gnome or KDE, Cinnamon?
I've been trying whole distros but Fedora is the best for me
The first thing I noticed after upgrading from 40 to 41 is that the icons look bigger. Apparently, the default display scaling is set to 125%.
I was confused to neither have the experimental features in dconf, nor any of the new settings in GNOME-Settings until I checked the version.

I upgraded from fedora workstation 40 to 41. Now, I'm not able to open any of the gnome apps, even the settings app.
I need that wallpaper NOW
tensorflow is not being able to find the suitable distribution via pip install tensorflow at fedora 41
I've a 16Gbs DDR4 3200mhz Ram, which runs at 1600mhz only on Fedora. I've adjusted the xmp profile, but the issue remains!
Using Linux since about a year as daily driver and never heard about the cool feature of Template folder 😅 Thanks for that Michael!!
Installed Fedora 41 after giving it a try for 20 minutes in live mode. It resolves all the issues I had with fractional scaling on a 4K second monitor.

Useful, thx🔥
user can install thunar file manager, too 😊
I was a fedora user for years but it started do suck after kernel 6.11.
For those using the experimental fractional scaling improvements, keep in mind is a little bugged with steam and proton games; the output resolution of them is incorrect at first, they also get scaled independently of the resolution, making them look a little blurry, and alt tabbing may cause display issues since the window gets confused and doesn't know which size it should scale to.

Awesome video Michael. Any chance i could get a link to that wallpaper please?

This guy makes useless videos. He does not have correct knowledge 👎.

What about the Real Fedora, Fedora Spin KDE ?
