Just wanted to say I made the switch yesterday from Windows 11 to Fedora Linux, no dual booting. It took multiple installs though because the first two times I followed old instructions for installing the Nvidia drivers. The third time I found out that I can just install them through the software center when third party repositories are enabled and that worked like a breeze.

And I have to say it's a really good thing that the installer for Fedora is getting an overhaul soon because Anaconda is horribly confusing in its UX.

Edit: just wanted to add a hyfetch screenshot:

Don't know if the first time had something to do with Nvidia but I changed something in GDM settings and couldn't login anymore, it just returned me to the login screen after typing in my password. The second time it said something about a missing kernel module upon startup. Both times I followed the same instructions you linked but doing it through the software center is definitely simpler and more straightforward.
