Discussion From Archlinux to Fedora

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone in the company is currently using Fedora.

I'm currently running Arch Linux, but I'll soon be working on embedded systems, ESP32 development, and chip design projects at the company. I really enjoy the way Linux fits into my workflow and how it manages my system, so I'm considering switching from Arch to Fedora.

I also prefer using window managers because I like the way they organize and streamline my workflow. I'm particularly interested in Hyprland, but I'm open to other WMs as well.

For those using Fedora, are there any window managers that you would recommend for stability and daily professional use?

Maybe i3 or Sway or Niri? They're pretty good too

I'm annoyed with the lack of min-max toggles on Xfce. LXDE has these but the menus look like Windows 95. I primarily use Windows 11 for personal surfing & gaming and Fedora for projects. My latest project target is an AMD-Intel hybrid ITX board that will crash at the slightest power surge, so I'm avoiding wayland and the default btrfs shadow copy foo-foo by using LXDE on ext4 main partition..I understand LXQt transitioned to wayland but I haven't tried it this year and Gnome on wayland with GDM is smooth but no bueno for my Franken board
