Decided to go with #Fedora #Linux #myfirstpcbuild I just can’t justify paying so much for Windows. What amazed me is that all components of my Asus ROG Strix B560-A WIFI motherboard work with fedora. I have had always this long time assumption I wld be pulling my hair trying to figure out parts to work with linux but I was obviously wrong! 👍👍👍👍

@snowdusk Linux has really good support for hardware, including hardware that Windows has decided not to support anymore.I have run into problems occasionally, but I admit.

@publius I only wanted to install Windows because I wanted all the features on this PC to work but I just cldn't pay $199 for Windows licence! Found out this mobo works with Redhat EL but I didn't want to pay for Redhat either so did some digging Fedora which is free is based on RHEL... tried Fedora and it blew my away!

@publius @snowdusk Glad you're finally using Linux! Fedora works as a great beginner's Linux distro, especially those who aren't happy with Ubuntu's snaps.
