Just wanted to say I made the switch yesterday from Windows 11 to Fedora Linux, no dual booting. It took multiple installs though because the first two times I followed old instructions for installing the Nvidia drivers. The third time I found out that I can just install them through the software center when third party repositories are enabled and that worked like a breeze.
And I have to say it’s a really good thing that the installer for Fedora is getting an overhaul soon because Anaconda is horribly confusing in its UX.
Edit: just wanted to add a hyfetch screenshot:
Marvelous :) Good on you for taking this leap. The Linux community on Lemmy can help if you need any advice or guidance. I have been rocking fedora for the last few years and I’ve been very pleased, also with an Nvidia GPU.
I’m curious if you have any resources to get setup with the Nvidia drivers, different from mine? My reference has always been: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA
And it’s always worked like a charm, both for legacy hardware and new hardware.
Don’t know if the first time had something to do with Nvidia but I changed something in GDM settings and couldn’t login anymore, it just returned me to the login screen after typing in my password. The second time it said something about a missing kernel module upon startup. Both times I followed the same instructions you linked but doing it through the software center is definitely simpler and more straightforward.
