Well, it lasted 18 months, but I’ve changed Linux distro again. I really thought I had settled on Fedora KDE - I really liked it.

The whole point to running Fedora was that I didn’t have to fix much with the OS, it just worked - until it didn’t. I have two main computers, a Framework laptop, and a stationary desktop computer, and they both got the same problem at the same time - the screen turned black after login if using Wayland, and I couldn’t find a way to fix it. Xorg worked decently, but both computers required re-installation. But the the whole point of running Fedora was that I shouldn’t have to deal with things like this. It should be noted that I was still on Fedora 40, and 41 had been out for three months.

In order to use netcfg for USB tethering, just configure it as a regular ethernet connection. The following worked for me, remember to modprobe usbnet.

:::bash
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='A basic dhcp ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='usb0'
IP='dhcp'
