This is awesome. I've been using Fedora with completely vanilla gnome for a couple of months now in favor of getting used to the intended gnome workflow, which I'm pretty much there I think.

That being said, I think I'm now granting myself the permission to now look at gnome extensions and tweaks to really get it where I like it.

Commenting for the algorithm. Thanks for the video!

[Joshua_Sims]

Perfect timing. I just setup my laptop on Fedora 40. Thanks Jay!

[matthewness]

Great video!!! I am thinking about running fedora on my next build so this is helpful

[Nerzhina]

Hi Jay. Thank you for making these excellent Linux video tutorials.

Please continue creating great Linux content.

Best wishes from Ireland.

[gooexnr]

Thank you for the guide on my favourite distro!

[McDuffington]

Finally switching over to a good distro I see. Good!

[GapRecordingsNamibia]

Reading through this comments section reminds me of why I thought I would never switch to linux from

There are some really toxic and hateful people that use this kernel and it's associated software.

This is such a shame, yet these very same bad apples that like to shame those who would dare to ask for help or advice.

This comments section is exactly what's wrong with this community, not everyone but those bad apples ruin the experiance for new people wanting to try out a distro.... Such a shame....

Thank you Jay for making the effort on these kinds of videos for new comers.

Thank you for another fine and informative video. Even though I like Mint and MX, Fedora is tempting me.

[literallybarbie]

great video!

would you mind making a video about how to use "user themes" (to make Fedora look like Ubuntu, for example)? Many guides say different things and that can get really confusing for beginners

[bhargavjitbhuyan]

Bro, how do I fix my color? For some reason, my laptop's display colors look worse. It has kind of like a blue tint. Increasing green and red should fix it.

I am using arch.

[nekilik]

I use Gnome since Fedora 34 and switch to KDE few weeks ago. I had no idea how good KDE today is.

[TimSchraepen]

Mentions egregious sound effects, all the while triggering my starcraft2 protoss brain with those building warp-in sounds… 😅

[-_Grind]

Very informative, will replicate it in a Virtual Machine.

@LearnLinuxTV

Sir I have Questions for You..
What Operating System you use as your Primary OS or as an daily Driver
And Which Linux distro OS you would Prefer for Others.
Please answer sir.

[simo]

Can you do an advanced follow up?

Like using docker, Making a backup of OS, separate partition for /home dir, tips about game emulation, etc etc

[TylereCalfina]

Man, wish I could use fedora on my laptop, it has a old 1650 that doesn't support the new open source nvidia drivers.

[henriquepicanco]

Nothing new to me, somethings I just don't use (like tray icons), but still a great video.

[GapRecordingsNamibia]

Just a few things to mention surrounding the dock, and the overview button, pressing the windows key or the command key AKA the power key will bring up the windows overview, also, pressing the power key and a number key (eg. powerkey +1) would open your firefox app.

[drakemallard]

The very first thing is to enable fast server and parallel downloads!
