What is btrfs

btrfs is the abbreviation of B-Tree file system, it feature many advance function, the most usable function it offered including following:

Compression(increase read and write speed)
Checksum
Snapshot
Incremental Backup

I recommand Timeshift to snapshot system if you have configure btrfs subvolume as Ubuntu's layout.

Why Fedora

The last linux distro I had been using daily is KDE Neon, and the exact same problem occur in both Kubuntu and KDE Neon(Both of them are base on Ubuntu). For example, both of them miss Vsync internal on osu!lazer. I try but fail to solve the issue.

As the result, I would like to install other distro next time.

Troubles of installation

Before I install it directly on my new laptop, I have install it on virtual machine. It is as easy as installing Ubuntu, just flash the pendrive and follow the prompt. Nothing bad happened.

However, the experience installing Fedora on real machine is a total disaster.

Laggy trackpad

During the stage of installation media and the first boot, the trackpad was extreme laggy, it take several second to respond, and much more time to "aim" the button, I suspect the problem was the out-dated package(since my laptop is releatively new hardware).

During the first boot, the problem still presist, it only solve after I upgrade packages via dnf.

Black screen on Wayland session

Fedora 37 come with Wayland for its default session, and it doesn't work before system upgrade.

The temporary solution was to login to classical X11 session instead, then upgrade system.

Advantage of Fedora

Even through I encounter many problems in Fedora 37, I would still say "Fedora is pretty decent".

Every thing after that was hust fine, trackpad just work after system suspend(KDE Neon doesn'y), and Wayland is less buggy than KDE Neon. If you expect every just work(But noy optimal) and is confident enough about solving those troubles, Fedora may be the way to go. After all, linux is about choice.
