And there are distros where it works out of the box with no extra steps needed: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and openSUSE IIRC
Yeah, forgot the Korean term for it, but it's basically potato potato
make sure the hardware really works
Also make sure the software really works, one of the main issues with Linux adoption by hardware manufacturers is their lack of dedication to it. In Brazil, for example, most brands that ship with a Linux distro (except for DELL, which ships with Ubuntu) ship with basically digital waste (unmantained, poorly developed distros) just to make the hardware cheaper, because they know people will get it to just install a pirated copy of Windows in it.
To each one according to their needs, from each one according to their capabilities.
People would still need to work, we are not abolishing the concept of work, what we want is a distribution of the value produced by the workers for the workers, so, for example, a disabled person wouldn't have the same working hours of an able-bodied one, or a person that has to provide for a family of 4 wouldn't earn the same as a person that lives by themselves.
And so will there be more people to look into and fix the vulnerabilities, specially if we can foster a bigger community of open source developers by being a healthier community overall.
Stick with Fedora, but give a shot to the Atomic variants (Silverblue, Kinoite, etc.) You can always switch DEs back and forth with one command. Even if you don't stay with Fedora, it will help a lot for you to find the desktop environment that fits your workflow best (although I do recommend sticking with Fedora)
Updated the link, hopefully it works now. Weirdly enough I was sure the original link I shared didn't require it
Why wait for Microsoft when you can just...
Not to mention it's being discussed as a feature for the desktop itself and being designed for 2 years now, way before KDE and elementary started implementing it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1401
Your setup is already pretty good, but I can recommend Silverblue with my personal use.
The problem with opt-in telemetry is that it messes with the scope of the research.
If you want to understand something about most users (and not just the ones that are active enough in the project to participate in opt-in) you need this, otherwise your results only tell the needs of this subset of your userbase and this sometimes can go completely against the needs of the majority of users.
The problem with telemetry isn't the telemetry itself, is how it is used, and the way the proposal is worded makes me very optimistic. They are trying 200% hard to make sure we understand that it will never be used in violation of the users' privacy.
The temptation is hard, but it would be totally against their philosophy, the best laptop is the one you already own, after all. Also they don't ship to Brazil yet, so no way for me to get one, unfortunately.
