Loaded Fedora 38 Workstation and all is well. A fresh install replacing 37. Gnome, the default for Workstation, is smooth and functions as expected.
With this install, I'm purposefully keeping it simple. Pulling packages (RPM's) from Fedora repos.
I added one photo application, Shot Well. Otherwise, I am using the default applications plus Google Chrome (RPM) and the suite of applications built into Chrome.
No Flathub or Flatpaks. Testing how the (mostly) vanilla install meets my needs.
Very smooth. Nice polish. Great GNU/Linux distro
