No hate, but I am relieved to switch back to Windows 10 after a year of Fedora. Partly because I need Windows for work, but mostly because Fedora and GNOME suck.

    Fedora:

    1. Missing Basic GUI Settings

    • Startup applications
    • No full shortcut customization
    • Need to install extensions for basic features
    • Media codecs missing by default (no clear indication or prompt)
    • You need to enable RPM Fusion (no prompt, hidden toggle)
    • Apps not installed via the software center must be removed via the terminal
    • Editing app menu entries through a third-party app (unstable / breaks frequently)

    2. Issues

    • Wi-Fi not working initially
    • Onboard GPU not working initially (and also no indication, noticed it in system monitor)
    • Couldn't get the printer driver to work
    • GRUB menu became misconfigured
    • System stopped booting at some point

    GNOME

    (GNOME used in Fedora Workstation)

    1. UI Design

    • No app dock by default
    • App grid/selector sucks
    • No minimize button by default
    • Calculator results cannot be copied
    • Search resets when exiting search view
    • Thunderbird tray not working

    2. Customization

    • Cannot properly remap the Windows/Super key
    • Very limited ability to customize touchpad gestures

    3. Wayland / Mutter Compositor

    • GNOME uses Mutter compositor, which has no support for gtk4-layer-shell
    • Some apps, like Activity Watch, don’t work due to Wayland's security philosophy
