| > - Flatpaks instead of Snaps; snapd is packaged in Fedora, it's just not installed by default, nor does Fedora have any shim things to force installation of flatpaks or snaps. > - Podman and Buildah instead of Docker (although you can get Docker if you really need to use that); By request from upstream Docker, Inc, Fedora renamed the docker package to "moby-engine". It _does_ get installed if you do "dnf install docker" and provides the docker CLI command and docker daemon service. > - Fedora 33 (due for release next month) will be switching to btrfs as the default filesystem, whose features are definitely welcome for home usage (but I'll wait a bit before upgrading and see if people run into any issues); This won't impact upgrades. Fresh installs will get this change, systems upgrading will not (unless you want to reinstall to change to Btrfs). > - I'd also highly recommend installing Pop!_OS's Pop Shell [0] to add great tiling support for GNOME, but that goes for anyone using GNOME really pop-shell is available as a COPR for Fedora: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/carlwgeorge/gnome-sh... > If you like gaming though, I never tried setting up Steam or a ProtonDB game on Fedora to be able to report on that (I think it would be complicated enough to make me wanna switch distros), but if you'll be doing this a lot, Pop!_OS (Ubuntu based, snaps disabled) has a great out-of-box experience with Steam, as does Manjaro (Arch based) which has an excellent hardware detection and driver auto-installer tool called mhwd, and makes setting up NVIDIA cards and other finicky hardware a breeze. GNOME Software will let you easily install Steam and the NVIDIA driver with a few clicks in Fedora Workstation. It generally works pretty well. |
