Kev Quirk<p>It was all going so well with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Fedora</span></a> until I connected my external monitor via USB C. It&#39;s absolutely will NOT stay connected. Works perfectly in Windows and MacOS, just plug an play. I&#39;m about done with Linux, I think - I don&#39;t have time for this shit.</p>

Kev Quirk<p>Continuing with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Fedora</span></a> and quite enjoying it. There are still some frustrations though:</p><p>- Fingerprint reader doesn&#39;t work very well.<br />- Auto screen dimming is horrendous - there&#39;s no smooth transitions and is very jarring (turned it off).<br />- LibreOffice is ugly AF. Replaced with OnlyOffice.<br />- I cant set a background on my login screen. It&#39;s just grey, which is a bit shit.</p><p>All small things though.</p>
