I currently use Linux Mint with Cinnamon which is fine. Ive been using it since early December. I had (and still have) some small issues, most of which Ive fixed.

I recently got a new GPU (a 9070 XT) and Im running a similarly cutting-edge CPU. In general, my whole desktop is made up of fairly new hardware.

So my question is: is there anything that speaks against switching to Fedora with KDE? That distro seems like it would make better use of modern hardware and be more “cutting-edge.” As I said, Mint is fine, but it seems rather slow when it comes to adopting modern technologies by comparison at least from a novices perspective.

As a disclaimer one of my best friends recommended I try it out (He has been using Fedora for years ) he also works in IT so should something go wrong I have someone a phone call away that could help me.
