True. And its the same on Windows, which is very customizable as well (maybe not as much as KDE Plasma). Thats why Group Policies exist.

Fedora is my go to if I would not do Arch. I REALLY liked my 3 months with Fedora, but Arch is the distro I have been on for three years and I feel at home in it.

I think i liked OpenSuse (tumbleweed) the most, next after Arch. Nothing compares to AUR though. So there’s really no comparison between OSes for me.
I have to say that my company is running Fedora Gnome edition and it has that intuitive feel for the average users. None of my employers has ever complained about the functionality of Gnome, it is us tinkerers who are doing the complaining as most of you already said.
If you leave Gnome running in the configuration as the developers designed it without extensions, it really is a rock-solid DE. At my company, I left the default settings as they are, since I didn’t want to be the tech guy also, every time an extension breaks

So, do they even know you do this in your free time? Like does the IT guy look at your computer occasionally and try to explain something to you like you’re some normal click and paste employee?

You mean IBM?
IBM, just as Intel, has done more for open source than all the Foundations together.

I have a small company and I’m the one who has set everything up, like Nextcloud etc. Last October I purchased new Thinkpads with Fedora installed on them for the company. Before everyone was running different refurbished hardware with different Linux distros running on them. Most of them were running Fedora, but a couple were running Ubuntu or Linux Mint.
My company grew very organically in the past years and the current Thinkpads were actually the first brand new hardware purchases I ever made for it.

I just wish the Fedora Xfce spin was better, but I do realize it’s not even close to being their priority even as a semi-official spin.

Very cool! I’m certainly quite the advocate for Thinkpads, and think that was a right solid purchase. Laptops don’t come much tougher. I’m really excited that Lenovo is making Fedora available as a purchase option right out of the gate. More companies like Lenovo are seeing the value in Linux, and I definitely feel like Fedora is the way to go enterprise wise.
Congrats! Leave them alone and let Fedora do it’s thing and let your employees just use it the way it is.
