I’m currently using Nobara a Fedora fork and upgraded today to version 38 it was a bit of a stretch. I had to delete many things in my /etc/ to get GNOME 44 working. Bluetooth and the panel on the top right is a bit buggy but it works.

On my laptop I use arch with hyprland

I’m mainly using Fedora these days, but for some games I still have to dualboot Windows, which I can’t say I’m enjoying. Just over an hour ago the Nvidia drivers crashed. On Windows. Repeatetly.

Anyway, I’m quite happy with Fedora but I haven’t tried many OS to be honest. I prefer stability over the slight advantages other OS might have

Sometimes I wonder how people think Linux is harder than windows. It feels like every time I use windows I’m constantly fighting my computer to do anything.

I guess most non-technical people are always fighting their computer. It is really hard to watch my grandma do anything on any device, but she’s managing windows pretty well compared to her android phone (with accessibility settings), because she has used it the longest. Even the tech-savvy Windows users are probably used to some windows quirks and work around them, just like GNU/Linux users open a terminal as a reflex. And if anything is different, it will always feel like fighting your OS. I think the problem is the change, not the OS

The issues I have with windows are caused by restrictions in what I am allowed to do for the most part, and that simply doesn’t exist for me with Linux. Getting used to a new os is definitely difficult though. When I first switched to linux, the only reason I didn’t give up was because I couldn’t figure out how to burn windows onto a flash drive from a Linux machine.
