      No hate, but I am relieved to switch back to Windows 10 after a year of Fedora. Partly because I need Windows for work, but mostly because Fedora and GNOME suck.

          Fedora:

          1. Missing Basic GUI Settings

          • Startup applications
          • No full shortcut customization
          • Need to install extensions for basic features
          • Media codecs missing by default (no clear indication or prompt)
          • You need to enable RPM Fusion (no prompt, hidden toggle)
          • Apps not installed via the software center must be removed via the terminal
          • Editing app menu entries through a third-party app (unstable / breaks frequently)

          2. Issues

          • Wi-Fi not working initially
          • Onboard GPU not working initially (and also no indication, noticed it in system monitor)
          • Couldn’t get the printer driver to work
          • GRUB menu became misconfigured
          • System stopped booting at some point

          GNOME

          (GNOME used in Fedora Workstation)

          1. UI Design

          • No app dock by default
          • App grid/selector sucks
          • No minimize button by default
          • Calculator results cannot be copied
          • Search resets when exiting search view
          • Thunderbird tray not working

          2. Customization

          • Cannot properly remap the Windows/Super key
          • Very limited ability to customize touchpad gestures

          3. Wayland / Mutter Compositor

          • GNOME uses Mutter compositor, which has no support for gtk4-layer-shell
          • Some apps, like Activity Watch, don’t work due to Wayland’s security philosophy
