Fedora 41 KDE review - Solid, rough, plus some subpar choices
Quoting: Fedora 41 KDE review - Solid, rough, plus some subpar choices —
A few days ago, I wrote a review of Ubuntu 24.10, my first proper Ubuntu article in some six years. As you know, I have significantly reduced my distro testing efforts in the past couple of years. The nonstop emotional rollercoaster between excellence and total nonsense, the pro-am seesaw, the regressions, the lack of focus, the so-called dev-centric approach that has nothing to do with ordinary people, and the general mediocrity of the vast majority of systems I tried, all of these made me stop trying. Why would I waste my energy with software that's simply going nowhere? Here and there, I make an exception. Ubuntu last week, Fedora this.
Ah, you see, I am an eternal optimist, and I still use Linux heavily, like on my Slimbook Executive and Titan laptops, with focus on thorough, everyday use. Occasionally, the results are good, fun, promising, I get excited and swept away, thinking, this is it, this is the year of ... and then I get disappointed. I have become quite jaded and very reserved in what I choose to test and review. MX Linux was a nice gem, recently. Ubuntu was pretty much what I expected. So how about Fedora then? Well, let's commence.
