What software have you found particularly frustrating or difficult to configure on Linux?

    Running Fedora with dual HDR monitors just fine, but it’s entirely possible that something is off that I’m not catching. They’re also running off my Nvidia GPU.

    I’ll just add that they look the same as when I used to run Win10 on the same box.

        Oh, just FYI I don’t game, so if there are some HDR features for gaming you’re hoping for, I can’t speak to that.

            Do whatever works best for you.

            I will say that after years and years of regularly switching workstation and laptop distros for a variety of reasons, after finally giving Fedora a shake, I’m done. I’ve installed it on both my primary laptop and desktops and can’t imagine switching again.

            But I am still sticking with Debian as my primary server base.

                TBF I’ve never configured an Arch system from scratch, so maybe it’s me that’s missing out.

                The thing about Fedora that got me to stop switching, was that it just felt more adult then the various and fashionable Ubuntu based distros, or any other well regarded distro I used over the years. The right mix of stability and new features/support, pretty much out of the box.

                Also, after tweaking Gnome a little bit for a more Windows 10 dock/bar style launcher/menu, it’s been perfect for me. Think I’ve been rolling with it since 38 now.

                Anyways, best of luck with your new box.
