Give me stable distro with a non shit DE (no tiling manager), and that's fully AUR compatible, and I'll be happy.

Until then, hackintosh for me

I'm about to switch to fedora. What should I expect? Using a chinkpad.

Not much, and I mean that in a good way. It installs, runs, and does what it's supposed to without a fuss. DNF is much nicer to work with than apt, and customization is done though your windows manager or DE.

Once you get it installed, visit rpmfusion.org and get their repos up and running. After that, tweak the font rendering if it bugs you. It's not bad, but Debian does it better. Here's my .Xresources file for reference:

Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting: 0
Xft.hintstyle: hintnone
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.rgba: rgb

And your done. Search for packages using "dnf search XXXX".

Software shouldn't cause your laptop to overheat except in extreme circumstances (running intense benchmarks, etc).

OP, something is fucked with your laptop's cooling. I highly suggest making sure that the heatsink vents are unclogged and that the thermal paste on the heatsink is adequate, applied well, and not dried up.

A while back I bought a circa 2008 Dell business laptop and the thing would overheat doing nothing. When I opened it up, I found out why: the vent was clogged with fuzz like you'd get out of your dryer's lint filter and it didn't even have real paste between the CPU and heatsink, just a shitty thermal pad. I cleaned out the fuzz, cleaned off the heatsink, CPU, and GPU, and applied some MX3. After putting it back together I saw a 30-40C temperature drop on average.

TLDR clean out your laptops and repaste them so they don't cook themselves

>>52404591
Installing infinality or freetype-ubuntu will improve font rendering WAY more than tweaking the settings on stock freetype.

hi

>>52404548
> I prefer KDE to Gnome 3's shitty desktop paradigm where functionality and combustibility just gets stripped away

been using fedora for years, it's about the only distro I've tried that I like OOTB

gnome/gtk sucks, which sucks because fedora only tends to do gnome well, but a lot of distros focus on only gnome

the only thing making me want to move away from fedora, or at least use it in addition to fedora on other boxes, is that there's almost zero long term support for fedora - you basically get around 13 months of support or until a second major release comes around, centos isn't a valid alternative unless you don't mind stuff being extremely out of date

>>52404283

use rpmfusion for packages not included in fedora's repo, expect a lot of stuff to be broken as fedora rarely touch packages so if it's broken upstream it'll be broken in fedora (but the opposite is true, you don't get what happens in a lot of other distros where the distro specific build is broken and upstream is fine)

>>52404435

agreed, but it's primarily because fedora mostly don't touch packages or configs so if it's shit it's because kde is shit

I've wanted to try out opensuse for a while to get a proper kde experience, but effort

>>52404700

>>52404684
I do love me some infinality, but I have had problems with it breaking other things. For instance the last time I tried it DNF wouldn't allow infinality and steam to coexist. >inb4 gayems

But yes, you're absolutely right otherwise.

>>52404684
doesnt freetype-freeworld + a /etc/fonts/local.conf config just werk? Only firefox has ugly fonts then and thats because it needs recompiling

>>52404742
Interesting, I haven't had trouble with infinality breaking things. Have you tried freetype-ubuntu? It looks almost identical to infinality and presumably isn't breaking things, since it's been shipping with ubuntu releases for several years now.

>>52404156
I kind of like Gnome, but what's the point of that bar at the top? What a waste of space, if it at least could hold tray icons (other than the defaults) but can't even do that, is there any fix to this other than hiding it?

I'd rather Unity, but Compiz randomly crashes at least once a day.

I don't use Fedora because the second it's installed on my head the tipping begins.

>>52404706

Yeah, Fedora's been trying to jump on the Wayland train for over a year, but it gets pushed back to the next version every time. It's almost like Wayland isn't quite ready to be a replacement to X for everyone.

>>52406747

Few things are ready for everyone, in the Linux world.

>>52406747
It's not so much Wayland, but GPU drivers I think.

>>52406773
Free drivers work great on Wayland, and Fedora is a "freedom distro".

>>52406786
Yeah but a lot of people use nvidia's proprietary drivers.

Not the same reason but I gotta admit going from debian based distros to fedora was an improvement.

>>52404156

It's not.
Unlike debian Fedora ships non-free firmware with the installation so you don't have retarded problems like wlan on your laptop not working.

But yeah besides non free firmware, non-free packages and technology regulated by retarded American patent law are absent

>>52405584

GNOME uses mutter, which is a compositing windoow manager, like Compiz and unlike Xfce's Xfwm.

>>52406773

It's a bit of everything. Wayland figuring out stuff like primary selection, GNOME making sure that 95 per cent of the functionality you take for granted on X just werks on Wayland and the proprietary drivers that lots of people need, like it or not.

You can test GNOME on Wayland now and perhaps not notice any differences for a while, but there's no point in making it the default with lots of little, and some big, things not working correctly.

Don't understand why any of you fags sperg out about MUH LUNIX when all you ever do is shitpost on 4chan, then download and watch chinese cartoons. You could do that on a fucking $50 chinktablet.

>Software shouldn't cause your laptop to overheat except in extreme circumstances (running intense benchmarks, etc).
I can't speak for this anon, but I have a Fujitsu Lifebok T2020 with an ULV C2D (U9300 I believe) and "overheat" isn't the proper terminology but it is a good example of what happens. Running Windows (and some distros) and idling most of the time will allow it to run nice and cool but if you put that cpu to use it will tern into a personal space heater with the leafblower trying to keep it cool. It doesn't actually over heat but it gets really warm and loud. The default settings on most distros don't idle the cpu and fans properly and result in a hot, lout, mess. You can literally remove the fan from the laptop and the CPU will top out at like 90C and stay there all day. As long as the thin piece of aluminum that they call a heat-sink is attached, you can't overheat this laptop.

I used to use this machine for school and windows 7, one note, a pdf, and a web browser (with only a couple tabs) running at the same time would result in a nice note taking machine that is completely silent. Idling on linux with nothing running would result in an inferno. There are some distros that when set up properly, run right but ootb windows 7 works great.

>>52406016

don't use AUR then you fucking retard.

I wouldn't be surprised if you idiots broke your arch by installing AUR packages.

you fags remind me of Ubuntu fags who cry when their PPAs did the same.

fuck off.

I'm using Fedora with xfce on my old turion x2 laptop.

Runs really smooth and I like it more than any other distro I've tried.


That being said, anyone on Fedora looking to try e17, do yourself a favor and don't. It's a great de but it's pretty buggy.

>>52427056

>>52428210
I'm genuinely confused.

Is it because the the DE came with openSUSE wallpaper?

>>52404156
Because I don't need a kernel upgrade every other day
I'd rather have an OS that I don't have to reboot for weeks
I can use a third-party repository to keep ffmpeg updated
besides I wouldn't know what to do with this 30GB Vorbis music if I wanted to unfuck what openSUSE did to my HD

>>52428210
What?

Wow, there's a lot of people using Fedora here.

>>52428210
I don't get it.

>>52430950
I recommend you try it, it's actually a pretty good, and under rated, distro.

>>52404156

Because some people aren't retarded like you and actually install power management packages. The software is the same and the quality of the software doesn't change just because you switch distros.

>>52404283

Cancer.

>>52404264

Just install some Arch clone?

>>52433322
>quality of the software doesn't change just because you switch distros
Kernel version often changes between distros

>>52405046
Except being updated, of course.

>>52433338

Yup, but Fedora would be a stupid distro to switch to if that was your problem, given that they rarely package the newest kernels.

Most serious distros have good ways to package kernels yourself, for example make-kpkg with debian.

oh but I do use it. my previous attempts at linux some years ago were not so successful, shit being broken in one way or another. on Fedora, however, my wireless card, GPU, everything worked straight OOTB.

even gnome 3 can be made quite usable with the Tweak Tool

>>52433322
I keep seeing people post this.

Why is it that the larger distros that people 'sperg out about so much just don't include it and why does Fedora do a better job?

Also

>Why is it that the larger distros that people 'sperg out about so much just don't include it and why does Fedora do a better job?

I'm just calling him out on being retarded. There is nothing that Fedora can do that other distros can't, and especially in regards to power management and fan control there's literally fucking nothing stopping other distributions from doing the same thing. It comes down to his choice of installed packages, which most distros ASK you about during installation.

>Your opinion has been discarded.

I'm not even an Archfag. I use Debian and have done so for years now.

Thinking of switching from antergos/MATE to fedora/gnome
what should I expect? less battery would be my first guess

Why haven't you unpinned IE from your task bar? Is there something wrong with, like, mentally?

>>52404156
Because Linux is for poor people who pretend to be programmers and hackers but in reality don't know shit.

Windows 10 is the closest an OS has ever come to perfection.

Wait what? Pacstrap takes from net repos so even if you have a 50 year old ISO, your fresh install will still be of the latest possible software.

You must have messed up your fresh install.
