Steps Taken To instal Fedora

  1. Making a bootable USB. This is a repo, I made, which takes care of EVERYTHING for making a Fedora ISO, i.e, downlodads ISO, verifies CHECKSUM, and burns it to USB.
git clone https://github.com/anmolj7/fedora_media_writer_linux.git
cd fedora_media_writer_linux
python3 main.py
  1. The next part is booting through the usb we just made. For that, just restart your device, and while it's booting, press the combination of keys required to bring the boot menu for your system. It can vary from system to system, for my system, ASUS TUF GAMING, it was, ESC.
  2. Once in the BootMenu, Select the pendrive we just made :P
  3. After that, all you gotta do is just follow the on screen instructions, and it would install everything :P

Voila! Fedora installed!

Problems I faced

I didn't really face any problems during the installation, however, I still needed to install external drivers to get my wifi working, which wasn't the case when I installed some other linux distro on my laptop.

Afterwords

I've used various Linux distros for the quite some time, and I had gotten used to the debian flavors. Using Fedora as a primary operating system was refreshing! The whole system took 7 minutes to get installed and set-up, which was faster than Ubuntu, and wayyyyy faster than windows which took 15 minutes to setup after being installed. I personally recommended some friends of mine about Fedora, and they were quite enticed when they heard how fast it was :P Getting used to the new package dnf took some while as compared to apt, overall, definitely worth it :P
