I gave it months. I was honest with myself about it.

Looks at release date of Fedora 44.

April 28, 2026

It hasn't even been one month.

The post made it clear they installed it during the beta period.

And that's not the release. What a ridiculous thing to compare to stable.

You forgot this part

The beta was excellent

But yes, you should not compare with beta version.
