If anyone isnt aware, Fedora is currently the GOAT OS. Don't knock it until you try it. Everything just works, and it works like the Platonic form of a desktop should.

A Fedora Cinnamon Atomic would be a wet dream for me. I'm surprised that wasnt prioritized. Budgie Desktop looks interesting.

The spins are created by Special Interest Groups from the community. Spins exist if someone is interested in creating and maintaining them, they are not prioritized by the Fedora Project itself.

I tried getting to Fedora but the package manager was slower even to deb, the hardware video acceleration in browsers required me to juggle drivers from fusion due to licensing problems, and I use AMD which I would expect to not have issues.

The package manager is a little slower but `dnf history` is a lifechanger. It's so easy to list the history of all transactions and undo a specific one. There are huge performance improvements coming in DNF5, scheduled for Fedora 41 (this fall).

Is there a downside to just installing the dnf5 package right now? I see it's available for 38+.

It's not considered polished enough to make the default. Some functionality isn't reimplemented yet. It's difficult to transition backwards once you've switched.

Where can I read about it?

Try setting "max_parallel_downloads = 20" in "/etc/dnf/dnf.conf" the next time you try (the default is 3 which often doesn't saturate the network and is just slowing things down).

Try using the flatpak version of browsers. Acceleration should work ootb
