Anything suspect in the journald logs?

You can write a script to periodically check the installed packages and update the 1st script. Its basically the output of “dnf list installed”

Well done, happy to hear that you managed to fix it.

thats fine you can write a new one. Check the output of blkid or some command that lists drives. Then take a look at an example fstab config and copy it. If you can install genfstab from github that would be nice but idk if that cna be done from emergency shell.

After fstabs rebuilt try restarting

can you post the config from /etc/fstab

If you have a usb with another distro (not arch) you can plug it in and boot into the live environment. Then from there you can look at the filesystem on your other drives. Or you can do it from the emergency shell whichever you prefer.

I’m installing snap on fedora to spite you.

Oh no 1gb of space is being used windows users totally care about that as they go from an OS that out of the box takes 100gb to one that takes 30gb. Thats pretending what you said is true because Snap doesnt store 5 versions by default it stores two. Secondly the common runtimes are shared between applications and versions so the amount of extra space when storing multiple versions is minor also distro packaging also stores multiple versions by default 3 if I recall correctly for dnf.

I think the fact that you think a win10 user cares more about an app taking a few seconds longer to open on first load than their GPU driver being unstable(from a new user perspective) is everything. Yes! the driver is nvidia’s fault but its also fedora intentionally choosing to not ship it out of the box. Many other distro’s do this so nvidia users dont have to go through the hassle of foss drivers and them breaking every kernel update.

Also I dont blame fedora for this, fedora doesnt target new users and as a fedora user I like that they aim to ship a fully foss system and I think they make it easy to include properitary packages if thats something you want. However its pointless to point someone to a distro where you have to then give them a bunch of extra steps to enable basic functionality when there are plenty of distros that work out of the box.

For a new user one of the ublue spins is a good choice. They get the base fedora experience with nvidia gpu’s sorted out of the box and flatpak.

No one switching from win10 is going to notice the package being a few MBs larger. For opening speed I think taking a few more seconds to open is a tiny price to pay compared with the extra setup work that is required on Fedora. Look if Fedora shipped with the proprietary repo’s enabled and Nvidia driver preconfigured id recommend it to new usres but until then its just to much for new users to enable proprietary repos and setup their nvidia drivers.

I’m a Fedora user but I prefer to point new people to Ubuntu over fedora. The snap v flatpak debate is irrelevant to new users compared to fedora not shipping proprietary gpu drivers out of the box which causes so many problems for nvidia users. Kernel updates often end up braking their gpu driver.
