I installed fedora to replace windows on the 31/12/2023. I wasn't a complete Linux noob by any measure but haven't run it as a main OS before. Thank you proton for getting me over the edge.

The whole repo situation on fedora is honestly pretty meh, things are out of date or broken too often. Or they just don't exist. I have put arch on a number of machines since and find it significantly better. My main box will move away from fedora next time I'm enthused to mess with it and this is the primary reason.

I feel like this needs to be a PSA pinned to this community. Far too often it would say 2 comments and I would see nothing untill I did this.

You can get close enough in most situations by looking at bolt size, thread pitch and the material. Some level of intuition and knowledge about what each fastener needs to do is also helpful.
