Finally made the switch to Fedora 44
After years of using Windows, I finally decided to make the leap to Fedora Linux 44. I’ve been using this laptop for a while, but I reached a breaking point with Windows 11.
The main reason for the switch was just how much memory Windows 11 was consuming while the system was idling. It felt like the OS was constantly running background processes I didn't need, which left me with very little headroom for my actual work. It was frustrating to see so much of my resources tied up just to keep the desktop environment running.
Since switching to Fedora, the difference has been night and day. The system feels incredibly snappy, and it’s a relief to see my resources being used efficiently instead of being consumed by background bloat. I’m still finding my way around (just learned how to get my terminal set up!), but the experience so far has been fantastic.
