Currently, dual booting Fedora and Windows 11 on my Asus gaming laptop, and I love Fedora, but it's still not full sailing. Every other boot the wifi card doesn't register and I have to reboot, others the OS freezes even though Grub doesn't but nothing actually opens or closes, and lastly if the laptop is on battery and goes into hibernation, waking it up takes around 5-10 minutes. To add that gaming is still not as smooth as it is with windows, and I still have a use for Windows pOS.
- That isn't a problem with Linux, as much as I hate it. It's a problem with Asus, which I hate more. Asus is known for having many unfixable bugs on everything they have similar to these but even this isn't as severe as most people get where their audio will go out for days on end.
- Have you tried another distro like Pop OS?
  
  I'm using Pop OS on a couple devices and I like it, but it also gets temporary hung up frequently. It's irritating when I'm only doing one thing.
  
  Yeah it depends a lot on the hardware. I have one laptop with Linux that is wonky sometimes because it has Nvidia graphics. But my stationary with amd is awesome, always works 100%.
  
  Unfortunately, the drivers aren't available as easily with other distros. The main issue is that my laptop is an ASUS laptop, awesome laptop most of the time, but it's not easily supported by Linux
- there seems to be a problem either with your specific install or with the compatibility of fedora and your hardware. None of what you listed is expected normal behavior. Maybe try reinstalling fedora or another distro, best of luck :)
- I've tried Fedora 3 times years apart in my life and never had a good experience. The longest time I used a distro was with Elementary OS and Zorin OS, the latter of which I'm currently on.
- Been running Linux as primary is for 10-15 years now, used to distro hop a lot, often just because. Life is too busy for that now but I last installed fedora (KDE, I always run KDE out of preference) about 5 years ago and I'm really impressed. The system is very current but its always remained stable for me and upgrading from version to version is smoother than normal security patches on win 10 which I still run for CAD.
  Are you all up to date? Tbh I do agree with the other post, ASUS have terrible QA and don't care.
- Framework sell laptops with Linux
