Much needed video. Today I installed Fedora 34 Workstation on my HP 15s Notebook with 8GB Ram and 500GB ssd & everything works like a charm. The touchpad gestures just felt so intuitive with gnome 40. Thanks Roshan❤ You never disappoint a subscriber😊

[@LinuxTex]

Glad you enjoyed the video Aditya😊

And to think with windows that system would be pushing it.

@@LinuxTex please do the same video about the latest Linux Mint

[@prajulsahu9838]

@@pavelkosov Linux Mint is a lightweight distro based on Ubuntu, you do things you do in Ubuntu in Linux Mint also. One of the main differences would be the desktop environment, as Ubuntu comes with GNOME and Mint have Cinnamon, MATE, and XFCE.

I have been exploring Linux since 2014. I have used almost every distro. Fedora 18 was my first one. Right now I have a "Macbook Pro" 2012 Model. Configurations are as follows: 256 SSD, 500 GDD, i5 3rd Gen, 16 GB RAM, intel inbuilt graphics. On this OLD machine, I have tried every distro, and have been following your channel since long. Fedora 34 is performing the BEST, and the steps you've added, when followed properly, the machine works like a charm..! Thank you so much for creating such an amazing video! You are seriously very loyal to your susbcribers!

[@chrisstr33tkng61]

This is hands down one of the best videos about setting up a Linux distro, especially Fedora...You get received a sub from me and a complete playlist for quick reference! Please keep this type of content updated with future releases of Fedora, this is so great!

[@189Blake]

My favorite distro! Now I can make more with it! Thanks!

[@ranimungcal]

I immediately notice the speed after installing all of these! thank you for providing the ready copy paste commands..your the best!

[@Ale3dGl]

Extremely useful video! Fedora 34 is the best distro I've tried. Everything works perfect, really everything. With these tips, it becomes an operating system to keep for a long time. Thank you

[@paulseldn]

Bless you for uploading this video...I only installed fedora on a vm to see how i like it...Now I will install it as my daily driver. You have showed us how to make it 10 times better :)

[@theMaizeOfficial]

This is a great selection, was an accident i found your channel but i found your video to be of good quality and enjoyable to watch while also providing great content and gave me a few things i was unaware of !!!! even 20 year veteran! thank you good video wish you well!

For a brief moment I thought the RPM Fusion part was an ad because of the way you were presenting it, hahaha, love your videos!

[@skywz]

This is probably my favorite Linux channel. Could you do a video comparing all the mobile Linux distros side by side? I haven’t seen it from any channel on KZbin, and I was thinking about showing the performance, customizability, layout of basically everything, software and hardware compatibility, etc.

Good Video, it will help many beginners. I did notice that you used rsync with timeshift instead of btrfs(because you didn't used the root as a sub volume during installation). A future follow up video would be great regarding this.

[@LinuxTex]

Thanks for the tip! Yeah I had some problem with it.

[@VE64RD]

@@LinuxTex tnx for great videos! Did you make a video with timeshift and Fedora? Do you have any other tips ways to back up the system that are as easy as timeshift?? I cant backup fedora with timeshift, for some reason and i cant find any solutions that work.

One of the problems I face with Linux is the unavailability of Drivers. Few years back, I made a switch from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 18.04 and saw a significant improve in the performence. Later I upgraded it to Ubuntu 20.04. Although the performance increases, my Wifi and Bluetooth card stopped working. Now I'm using an Ethernet cable. Trivial things like this matters a lot in terms of long term. I hope the community finds some solution.

[@white-bunny]

I don't think you'll face any problems like that in Fedora. I had the same problems then too, which was the reason I checked out other distros (of which Fedora out-of-the-box worked for everything I've connected).

[@paulwin9036]

Because timeshit only supports a VERY specific formate of BTRFS, one that fedora doesn't use by default, timeshare BTRFS won't work until you tweak it before or after install

[@LinuxTex]

Yeah. We can just use rsync

[@white-bunny]

@@LinuxTex Fedora actually talked about a few features that they'd be bringing to their OS, one of which would be "Factory" reset which would reset everything to before the reset was done, like on Android, and possibly snapshots also for backups (which they talked about here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/borRdYB4Zr2Glac ). I don't know if they'd use Timeshift specifically, but either that or a similar feature is at least slated for the next release, Fedora 35.
