Fedora is "the gaming" distro and perfect for Linux beginner confirmed (at least for me) (lemmy.ca)

why? because it's not triggering an obscure anti cheat on a game I've been playing when using wine (performance is still the same tho), everything else is just work no missing dependencies and it's doesn't get in my way like other distros (I tried Arch, Opensuse, Ubuntu, Debian), just to clarify I'm a complete noob when it come to Linux so maybe if I know better I probably make everything works just like Fedora

I can't install fedora because they require you to have a mouse connected by cable to your computer to install.

It's absurd. I only have a Bluetooth mouse and you can't get to the Bluetooth connect screen. So Mint it was.

I even saw someone complaining about this on the fedora forum and the response was totally "Do you not have mice?" energy.

Fedora+KDE is the perfect match

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago

Kde and fedora is definitely a good choice.

This is the kind of idiocy that actively prevents migration from windows. Even though I've used Linux off and on for 20 years, after reading this I have zero interest in fedora. Whatever their reasoning, it seems like they (best case) don't care about usability. Worst case, they are using it as gatekeeping.
