Ubuntu -> Fedora 30

2 minutes read in Linux

After many years with Ubuntu (also I have to use Linux Mint and Arch Linux for some time), I actually migrated on Fedora 30. And here some of my observations:

  1. yum replaced with dnf
  2. Gnome on Fedora works much faster, without some Ubuntu-specific issues, like this annoying issue with layout change, meh
  3. Firefox can’t play videos on youtube, fixed by installing GStreamer Multimedia Codecs - H.264
  4. Ubuntu uses snap by default, Fedora - flatpack, in-depth comparison
  5. Wayland session by default (what about nvidia proprietary driver, should/can I use it?)
