Haven’t messed with Gnome in a while but, after playing around with it for a bit, it’s pretty nice. It just might be my second favorite desktop environment (Still like Cinnamon better). It’s pretty intuitive though. They need to improve their default weather app but I got a better one through Gno…

Currently got Gnome running on EndeavourOS on my test machine. I like the way EndeavourOS did it. It’s pretty minimalistic from the USB which makes the initial setup easier and helps me get familiar with the desktop.

There’s a lot of upside to EOS gnome. I still think pacman is by miles the best package manager out there. I’m really growing to appreciate Fedora → the install and things just working is incredible. I literally can install Fedora and be working on my computer in less than 5 minutes. Email, prin…

Yea, dnf’s command options are about as straight-forward as it gets. Even so, once fusion and flatpak are set up on Gnome’s package manager, you don’t even need that. It’s a good “just works” system.

Just wondering, fedora has a way to allow firmware and bios update for Lenovo (and maybe other hardware) I believe, just via updates. Can we do that on Arch?!

I don’t know about that. For my motherboard (MSI), I just grab the image and flash it at the motherboard setup.

I installed and currently have Fedora running on Secureboot. My firmware is as it shipped (it’s up to date though) from Lenovo. FWIW I believe T-series Lenovo’s are supported with Fedora. It’s all Intel i5 w/ UHD 620 graphics.

Glad to see your thoughts on Fedora. Gnome with Wayland on :enos: is all I need. Everything just works! A limited few extensions to get everything the way I like it, and we are off to the races :racehorse:

Install GNOME Software and fwupd, maybe then you can do fw updates on Arch.

Just installed Fedora with Gnome on the "Distro Tester"
