From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

I run F43 KDE on my desktop. I have an amd gpu and ryzen cpu. And I also experience weirdness with display connections.

I used a KVM to switch between my work laptop and personal desktop but since I use Fedora, I can't. I cannot switch back to my desktop. The screen remains blank no matter what I do. I could not figure out if the underlying system is responsive or not.

When booting, it feels like there is a race condition between the gpu drivers maybe and something else. Sometimes I get no image after GRUB. The PW promt for LUKS would be the next step, but the monitor receives no signal and goes to sleep. Reboot fixes it, but sometimes 3 tries are needed.
