Yeah when I first booted up, fedora didn’t see my ethernet port, but I was able to connect via wifi no problem. And then, after updating, when I returned to figure out how to get it working, I saw it already was.
Audio was similar. I use the digital optical out for my main audio device, and at first it wasn’t working. I could get audio via other ports (and temporarily plugged my soundbar in via USB, but didn’t like how that unified the system volume and device volume instead of being able to control each independently). I go back later to debug it only to find it just works now.
Or more recently, I switched to KDE and the first time I enabled my TV output to watch something, it wouldn’t enable the HDMI audio for that port. Fiddled around with it for a bit but gave up because I was in the middle of making dinner and just turned up my PC soundbar. Go back to have another look the next time I enable the TV display and it just works.
Though I did discover bluetooth doesn’t work while trying to connect to my TV’s sound system that way. It can see other devices but won’t connect with them stably. Not a big deal to me because I don’t rely on BT normally, but hoping it also just works when I next go to debug it specifically instead of just checking if it will work around another issue.
Sounds a bit janky but I’ve also had multiple windows laptops suddenly just lose the ability to connect via the connection method that was previously working. Sometimes disabling and enabling the adapter fixed it, sometimes enabling then disabling airplane mode did it, sometimes I’d have to switch between ethernet and wifi, sometimes it wouldn’t resolve without a reboot.
Also, just yesterday, I was trying to use a USB external drive to move a file from my old windows box to my fedora box, but windows wouldn’t recognize the hdd anymore. A USB stick worked (on the same port I was plugging the drive into) and fedore recognizes both of them no issue.
