    Y’all making me want to try Ubuntu again. It was go to whenever I dual booted, but finally made the full time switch to fedora a while back. Maybe I should dual boot fedora/Ubuntu for the fun of it. Haha.

      Don’t. I just set up a Linux Mint system for someone. I had a hell of a time trying to figure out the convoluted network and dns systems.

      I use Windows on the desktop right now, but if I switched to Linux, it would probably be Fedora. I’d suggest sticking with that.

        I don’t do anything in depth enough for those things to really impact me. I’m mostly a browser and Google docs person. Honestly, my biggest gripe with fedora isn’t even a fedora problem, it’s just that anytime I look up how to do something, it gives Debian based instructions and I get a little lost trying to figure out how to do it on fedora.

          Usually it’s not that different, though substitute dnf for apt, and package names might be slightly different. If you find instructions for Fedora, Red Hat, CentOS, Rocky, or Alma they’re usually all compatible since they’re all derived from the same source.

          Probably. But it shouldn’t be that difficult to just set the damn DNS servers. Used to be you just edited resolv.conf and that was it.
