I spent way too long trying to install Bazzite and base Fedora. The install process is pretty much broken if you don't want to just wipe your drive and give the whole thing to Fedora.
The automatic partitioning would refuse to see free space as available space, one manual partitioning option would create the wrong kind of btrfs volume, the other manual one did work but had no guidance on which partitions Fedora wanted, and the actual install would fail deployment because the EFI partition wasn't empty.
Say what you will about Debian distros, but at least you can install them.
I thought everyone had abandoned RedHat everything ages ago. I assumed bazzite etc were all Debian or arch based.
Bazzite and Nobara are Fedora based
Nobara makes sense, GE works for RedHat. But anything else.... Weird.
Fedora is independent of RedHat.
RedHat as an org has a few red flags popping lately too.
Is CachyOS all that? Level1 talked it up.
CachyOS is popular and has many generic optimisations, tho I don't believe it uses Intel's complier. It's arch based so unstable but one of the better ones.
for me Fedora Workstation installed fine, even when dual-booting (you have to “shrink” the Windows partition first) and it works great for me. The only slightly annoying thing is that many guides and how-tos use a debian based distro vs red hat/fedora based one (apt vs dnf, .deb vs .rpm)
last few times I tried this year the fedora kde installer had no issues with the partitioning
Wait, a dual boot? Why?
