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:

i tried Fedora 40 lxqt in vm, and it was a huge disappointment. openSUSE kde and Garuda KDE are much better. However, my laptop as it seems is totally incompatible with linux kernel, due to its highly propriatry hardware. MSI Gf63 Thin 9sc

Was your issue with Fedora or lxqt?

The latter is pretty spartan. I could see it being disappointing compared to Plasma.
