I can’t honestly recall or put my finger on it what I did wrong.
Choose fedora because it used my laptop subwoofer and wasn’t a rolling release. I remember each time (x2) reading about how to update the distro and each time my system was completely borked. I went to debian, read upon alsa, made my subwoofer work with a homegrown script and never looked back.
To this day I am wondering if people recommending redhat are trolls or paid.
