I think I’m going to start a war against my KDE setup. I can’t even disable bluetooth automatically launching at startup. Well, actually, I could. I had to modify a very-down-to-the-bottom line in some config. But it’s definetly not okay for such a huge DE to make you edit basic settings like this in configs. I always thought simplifying tasks like this was the reason for DEs to exist.

Is it in system settings? I couldn’t find it there

I do not use this widget. And even if I did, why do I have to have Akonadi enabled just to see a widget?

Not sure about GNOME but I can’t call KDE snappy on my setup

Fedora is pretty stable itself, but I have experienced some problems with KDE, for instance dolphin crashing on opening a directory attached by KDE Connect. Keyboard shortcuts seem to work just fine, but they may be not configured the way you expect, so consider tweaking them in the settings, no difficulties here.

Also, keep in mind KDE is quite a heavy environment, it may feel slow after Xfce, even on a middle-end system. Personally, I would probably choose GNOME if I returned to the past moment of installing Fedora.

Fedora is based on Red Hat, you’ll need time to get used to some minor differencies in contrast to Ubuntu, especially commands’ syntax. You’ll have to reinstall all needed programs, relogin your accounts and so on. I think you will generally be able to copy and paste some configs, but they may need a bit of adjustment.

While it is quite stable, Fedora still recieves updates really frequently, you should ask yourself if you really want to update every week or two.

If you use Xfce with X11, be ready to face Wayland’s specifics with screen recording and working with monitors.

My conclusion: KDE is probably not an optimal choice, but switching to Fedora is worth it, if you are ready to spend a day or two getting known with it’s specifics.

btw i’ve seen many vsts actually running as dlls in fl. is this solveable with wine or yabridge?

I’m considering running FL on windows inside QEMU KVM. But I’m not sure if QEMU supports booting windows…

Are there any performance issues with FL on wine?

Yeah I am making beats, recording only refers to recording vocals. And I never enjoyed Ableton, really

Oh boy

Prolly, but I do see some wallpaper while my computer is booting, and it’s not my home screen wallpaper

So you literally can not copy+paste something between different apps?

I knew GNOME dropped support for x11 only but never heard of KDE doing the same. But that was expectable anyway

How is DEI related to development and grahical servers at all?

He might have confused it with shell script

This is… decent

I heard that XLibre developers are working on cleaning the codebase. And I strongly believe we still need X11 at least until Wayland is polished enough, which still seems untrue even in 2026. The concerns about Red Hat are not conspiracy, a commercial corporation controlling important parts of Linux ecosystem is a serious threat, so having an alternative is never bad. Linux won’t have a future if everyone just uses Red Hat approved solutions.

Wait, you installed Linux on a MacBook?

Why is XLibre political?

It might be a very stupid question, but, does Gentoo handbook assume I’m preparing to install Gentoo from an already working Linux system?
