Soo, after reading a post about Fedora Workstation I figured, why not try it out. It has some awesome productivity tools!

I donwloaded the ISO, made a bootable USB stick and started my PC into Fedora live.

At first it looked awesome! I really looked forward to working with it. I installed it and restarted my PC. It booted up I choose Fedora and I saw a login prompt.

Everything's fine until now. I logged in, no problem. But after that the screen just turned black and only my mouse was visible. I thought, maybe it's because it's loading something.

I waited a couple of minutes but then i got really frustrated because nothing, literally nothing happened. So I forced a shutdown and restarted. I logged in again.. and... Well at least the screen wasn't black anymore. But it was not good either. Artifacts everywhere. I could not read what the screen said.

So I reinstalled it and couple of times, black screen after artifact screen.

I don't really know who's to blame here. Nvidia or Linux/Fedora or something else (I highly think it's Nvidia tho, fuck Nvidia and their anti Linux mood ).

I will try Fedora on a laptop somewhere in the Future again but for now I've had enough of that shit combined with the aftermath of resetting everything back to normal (removing grub etc).

If anyone has some advice concerning the Nvidia problem I'd highly appreciate that.
It's a GeForce 650ti
