<![CDATA[Finally done with the distro-hop: My return to Fedora]]>Two years into full-time Linux and I’m finally burning the distro-hopping cycle. I fell for the Arch/AUR trap for a while, but I got tired of spending my weekends debugging file manager crashes instead of maintaining my home lab.

Switched back to Fedora, and it’s boring in exactly the way I need it to be. It’s a stable launchpad for my projects, not the project itself.

I’m sure there are instructions on the RPM Fusion website for it.

Whenever I’m able to switch back to Linux I’d really want to start daily driving Fedora

This is for licensing and I guess philosophical reasons. Arch has a different approach. That’s why.

# pacman -S nvidia
# systemctl reboot

Good to go. 🚀

It’s been a good experience so far! Except for installing nvidia drivers, still working on that
