Fedora&rsquo;s been on my radar, and as someone who&rsquo;s always tinkering with Linux, I thought, why not? In this article, I&rsquo;ll share my experience of ditching Ubuntu for Fedora on my laptop, including the tweaks and surprises I encountered along the way.</p> <h2 id="preparing-for-the-migration">Preparing for the Migration</h2> <p>Before making the switch, I backed up all my important files using <code>rsync</code> to an external hard drive - don&rsquo;t bother with anything less, you never know when you&rsquo;ll need it. I also made a list of the packages I had installed on Ubuntu, so I could easily reinstall them on Fedora. To get a feel for the Fedora environment, I created a virtual machine using <code>virt-manager</code> and played around with the distribution before committing to a full installation. This is where people usually get burned, so take your time and test things out.</p>
