Kudos to the Fedora 34 and Gnome teams!!!
My Lenovo Thinkpad T500 runs Linux very well. Its a beat-up,
12-year-old, well-equipped dual-core laptop with 8GB ram, a Core2 Duo
cpu with an AMD Rv635 gpu. Its a good machine for meetings, as it is
quite rugged and mostly survives being dropped, coffee spills, etc.
Best of all, its highly secure with hardware that is not subject to the
problems related to later-generation Intel processor design faults, etc.
Fedora 24 through 32 just worked on this laptop. Updates were almost
seamless, and all was good.
Early Fedora 33 was a big disappointment, as it had serious font issues
in the message dropdowns and other places that made it semi-unusable,
and with later updates it would not even show a Gnome screen. I
reinstalled it several times to confirm that the hardware was ok. I
could never find any logs detailing why it didn't work, so I switched to
installing Ubuntu 20.10 as working much more correctly on this hardware
with the same version of Gnome.
Last week I did a fresh install of Fedora 34 pre-beta, and it just
worked. It continues to work with the hundreds of updates that are
being pushed. Fedora is back. Thanks!
