One Month Trial: Surprising Usability of Fedora Linux
Discover how Fedora Linux surprised the reviewer with a smooth initial setup and extensive customization options, transforming expectations for a non-mainstream OS.
Short Summary
- The installation process proved surprisingly simple, with basic hardware functionality (trackpad, sound) working immediately.
- Extensive customization is achievable using Gnome extensions, allowing users to recreate past preferred operating system aesthetics.
- Minor friction points exist concerning terminal shortcuts and hardware driver settings (like scroll speed).
This document outlines the speaker's month-long experience switching to Fedora Linux on an HP Elite Book, detailing the successful initial setup, the depth of aesthetic customization possible, and the specific usability pitfalls encountered along the way.

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.

I'm retired and don't need any Microsoft specific programs. I switched to Linux about 6 months ago and love it. In addition to working great I have found some programs to do things that I couldn't do on Windows. No, I wasn't employed in the tech sector, I'm a retired truck driver. If I can do it anyone can. Apparently there is currently in beta testing a Linux program that will seamlessly run any Windows program. If it works out it could be a game changer for Linux.
Everything goes well with Linux. Sam: I must have done something wrong 😂😂
Ctrl-V and Ctrl-C in the terminal long predates the copy/paste functionalities. Ctrl-C was Interrupt and it remains this, and Ctrl-V is to escape terminal input. A few other handy ones: Ctrl-U is cancel the input line and start over, and works regardless of whether you can see what you types, in other words it works for passwords. Ctrl-L will refresh the screen. Ctrl-Z will pause the program that is in control of the terminal (What is running) and give you your terminal prompt. You can resume it with the fg command. Ctrl-D sends an End-of-File, telling the program or shell there is no more input.
On the installation: "It all went so... easily. I must have done something wrong!?" Slay us man, just slay us.

I've been on Windows since '98. I have no patience for tech that's needlessly complicated. I just bought a new work PC and installed Linux Mint with no issues. Never going back! Now, this is just for work. I'm keeping my gaming PC Windows...for now. And only because I got Windows 11 really locked in (O&OShutUp10). But my next gaming computer will be Linux. Because by the time Window 12 comes out and Windows 11 is no longer supported, Linux gaming will be dialed in tight. So for now, the best move for newbies is to slowly move into Linux.
Gentoo-er here ! I'm glad I've been seeing more Youtubers trying Linux lately. Thanks for making it fun and give it a fair review. Breaking Linux has just become a natural part of it, but like that, just remember make backups part of your life.
