Wow, I've never had trouble with anything besides trying to install a spotify for linux preview, and even that was fairly easy once I stopped trying to find a repo for it and just installed from the tarball. I have NEVER experienced an issue when installing something with the package manager though (Yum or dnf)

I had issues with the NVIDIA drivers, or rather, swapping over to the libre ones; after that was issues with getting Steam to work, which mostly required launching, checking which library was reported missing, figuring out which package to download, rinse & repeat.

I had a few issues with Ruby and various frameworks/gems and a few issues trying to get my printer/scanner to function (it did... then didn't and then wouldn't work on any other system so I evidently locked it somehow, fixed it in the end but still!)

Like I said, it just feels like Fedora doesn't really get a look in, every bit of media I see about doing something on Linux is for Ubuntu; yes it mostly is cross-compatible, but trying to work out what the RPM equivalent to a package is can be tedious.
