    It was a 5-6 years back so I don’t know the current state but I am sure it must great (also I was a Linux noob). It was terribly slow. Like my connection is 250 Mbps but I was getting downloads of like 10 Mbps with the repos even with the mirrors near to me. Every time it updated it like got stuck over there for a minute. I searched on reddit and there were a lot of complaints and the solutions involved the terminal to change the mirrors using nano (and I was scared of the terminal back then) so I just ditched fedora after a year (rest of the system was pretty fast though) and switched back to Windows for a few months then again to Mint.

    There I learnt Linux fundamentals step by step for a year & a half and thought I want the latest and greatest stuff. I learnt something like the AUR existed. Installed Arch with archinstall with btrfs, first with KDE Plasma and I got excited and installed Hyde’s Hyprland script (lol) and shit broke pretty quick like in 2 months and I didn’t know how to fix. Went back to Mint, but thought naah. Took me a few days to learn but installed Arch the manual way by actually RTFM and a few YT Tutorials. Stuck with KDE and never looked back.

      Heh, that’s quite the ride. Although not that unusual for Linux people, I guess

      Thanks for sharing!
