I installed fedora workstation on the computer of the mother of my wife. It just works. I set google chrome on autoboot and told her, if there is a pop up that says update system klick yes. Never had a single problem with it.

Facinating, thanks for sharing!


Sure, my configs are below, you might have to adapt them to your needs.
I would recommend to backup your files before changing them.
As I said I let an llm generate them, I basically just put in my current version of the files and stated my intend. I dont know if the bellow config is any way optimal, but for now it works. :P
For the IoT Network I had to disable WWM Mode in the GUI afterwards. Furthermore I disabled the 5ghz band for the IoT network. Otherwise my shelly1 devices wouldnt connect to the new wifi.
The rest of the setup I did according to this Guide: beginners-guide-to-set-up-home-network-using-opnsense

I might get flamed for that, but I just let an llm create me the config files and changed the passwords. That got me already into an working state.
But I think I have to add, that I use the openwrt machine just as dumb access point behind a opnsense box.

I used it for a while and was initially very happy with it, but that initial euphoria got eroded by the required maintenance.
Granted I used the unstable channel because I wanted some programs from it, but it still got annoying. Every now and then some config options got renamed, so you needed to change your config if you wanted to upgrade.
Finally some upstream change broke the kernel support for my laptop lid switch and I got no energy left to fix that.
Now I am back to basically vanilla fedora Workstation and I couldnt be happier.
