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:

It's normal to have that experience, something is outdated, some things are not intuitive but you come out as a winner on the other side if you don't give up. :)

Currently the only thing for me that definitely needs improvement is the configuration of GDM because I just can't understand why my display configuration doesn't get applied to my login screen so that my login is on my secondary monitor instead of my primary one. And why can't I set a wallpaper for my login screen easily? Things like these should be built in.
