Yea memory prices are insane. Almost a decade ago when I built what was then my main desktop I spent 80€ for 16GiB DDR3. When I finally replaced that about a year ago with my current Ryzen 1700X-system, I reluctantly spent 200€ for 32GiB DDR4. You'd think that a decade of technological progress would give you that capacity and speed increase at a similiar price, but reality is something else entirely.

Not that that really matters, of course... if the bi-annual release is a week or two late, it's not the end of the world. But it's been consistent enough to be a running joke after so many years...

Fedora though seems to be off in snother world, it really doesnt seem to be supporting new hardware as well as Ubuntu.
In fact, I would go as far as to say that if you have an AMD based system and you can't get it to run reliably with Open Suse then you probably are not going to get it to run reliably with ANY Linux distro.

Why? Is there something specific in F28 that is likely to cause problems for people?
I did a netinstall in a VM a few weeks ago with MATE desktop and it is running great.
Given that MATE 1.20 hasn't been packaged for Fedora 27, I can't wait to install F28 on my main system.
Fedora haven't realised a seriously broken version since the early days of pulseaudio, systemd, and their anaconda rewrite (that was the worst!). Last few years have been quite good IMO.

I am not a gamer, and all I want is a 4k resolution video card that is open-source supported.
I am also not keen to overpay for DDR4 memory.
Overpriced gpus and overpriced ddr4 memory may be the reason that replacement desktop computers are not selling. Its a reason I am holding back on my upgrade.
