I had a brief expedition into game development recently and ended up using Unreal Engine, I eventually gave up on Unreal – but I do plan on checking out Godot. Although, I eventually go home sick for Linux (my computer isn’t powerful enough to run a Windows VM with a game engine; please spare me), and ended up wanting a “it just works™” setup. So, logically, I try Fedora. Although, the installer just wouldn’t boot, not on a USB, not on Ventoy, nothing. Just a cold dark screen with a solid underline cursor. I also tried OpenSUSE at one point, but there’s some bad blood between me and that distro so I think I gave up at the installer. Anyway, I ended up installing Arch Linux, and would you look at that, the installer launches!
TL;DR: Arch Linux might take more time to get setup to your liking, but once you get it there, it it just works™.
PS: I have very much non-free hardware, this could be part of it – and it made installing Artix Linux with hardware encryption very difficult that one time. :/
Edit: PPS: I’m not trying to say “don’t use Fedora or OpenSUSE,” use what you want. This is my experience.
It’s been so much better…but I’m steeling myself to track down a WiFi direct bug that keeps disconnecting due to a timeout after 10 seconds. Linus give me strength!
This was true maybe 10 years ago, nowadays Linux has better driver support than Windows. Printers, networking, input devices, everything I’ve tried is plug n play with Linux, Windows you gotta driver hunt.
Fedora be like) i broke my recent fedora installation because of that, installed fedora 38 two months ago, made sub volumes, updated to 39, and it broke, and locked up whole ssd with it, had to recover data
