I've been using Fedora Workstation (GNOME) as my daily driver for about a year. I use it for programming, web development, everyday tasks, and gaming.
Overall, Fedora has been excellent. It's stable, secure (SELinux, Flatpak), updates are smooth, and installing the NVIDIA drivers was straightforward. It has never crashed on me unless I broke something myself.
The only issues I've experienced are mostly related to gaming and NVIDIA:
- Some Tauri/WebKit apps won't launch correctly when using the dedicated GPU.
- The official Minecraft launcher doesn't work for me, so I use Modrinth.
- Some Steam games have issues (e.g. long loading screens or lower performance than on Windows).
- World of Tanks, for example, runs significantly worse than it does on Windows.
This makes me wonder:
- Why do so many people recommend CachyOS or Bazzite over Fedora?
- What do they actually do differently?
- Do they really improve gaming performance and compatibility, or is the difference minor?
- Are they just as stable and secure as Fedora?
- Do they solve NVIDIA/Wayland-related issues better?
I'm not interested in Ubuntu, so I'm mainly comparing Fedora, CachyOS, and Bazzite.
I'd love to hear from people who have used more than one of these distributions. What made you switch, and was it worth it?
