Maybe they’ll remove the x11 drivers. Fedora has changed a lot but you’ll want to install the other repos first thing and there’s also a large move towards flatpak (which works very well).
There’s also the inst.sdboot install flag to avoid the legacy grub install.
I don’t find the install very easy to understand, compared to things like Debian but it’s worth the fiddle.
ArchLinux is the other alternative.
Finding out that it’s nowhere near as difficult as I supposed and is amazingly flexible. This is in 2004 when compiling drivers (kernel modules) for display and Wi-Fi was a normal thing for my laptop.
