mDidn't have much luck getting docker/podman to work with CUDA in Fedora (too much hassle, mostly blaming NVIDIA), so I went with a user systemd unit to run my llama.cpp instance instead. Works perfectly.
Mattias Bengtsson@borememore Except for NVidia woes, how's Fedora treating you?
@mattiasb I'm still a noob and not really used to dnf etc, I struggled a bit with docker (e.g. it wasn't clear what compose solution to use) and NVIDIA, and I generally find the search-info-on-the-webs experience unsatisfactory (lots of useless guides from older versions, e.g. dnf in 41 doesn't work as in 40).
Other than that, I really like the UI/desktop (much better than Ubuntu), and default configs feel sane (e.g. zram), etc.
Guess who affected my decision to try it out 😉
@borememore Haha! I guess I'm an influencer! ♥
One issue with Fedora is that less things are packaged and there's also less things to read just like you note. Also when upstreams release things /outside/ the regular channels like Flatpak, Container Images, PyPI etc then they probably made some shell script that assumes Ubuntu.
I think these issues are mostly about critical mass but they are definitely real. Other than that it feels more polished than Ubuntu to me. Also Flatpak > Snap :)
@mattiasb Yes, Snap is a pain. I tend to go with Mint for desktop uses as it's essentially Ubuntu without Snap and Canonical bloat. However the Mint desktop environment (e.g. Cinnamon) isn't as slick as Fedora's gnome shell (if you're on decent hardware).
