Yes, I installed Ubuntu and tried Firefox. On the first day I only noticed the font issue (easily repro'd by opening the web dev tools, which just show white). Then today, second day, I noticed FF complains on launch about not being able to save the bookmarks.

I wanted to try a few OS variants, and Ubuntu was my go-to since we have it on lots of machines successfully at work (all x64).

I was going to look at Chrome, but perhaps some other Linux too. Ideally I'd like multiple installed (big and little endian, for testing, though more out of habit now since I've not shipped anything on BE for over 10 years), though I wasn't sure whether this would need multiple disks rather than multiple partitions.

I personally took 3 hard disks and installed Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora.  I was fine with Fedora until it made the switch to Gnome 40, it literally sucks as they haven't fully optimized the code and it was slow, jerky and almost unusable.  I then used Ubuntu which in fact I realized that as fluidity and use it turned out to be the best but unfortunately it has several small bugs that have never been solved unfortunately.  Besides Firefox for example there is another bug which consists in not reading audio CDs, you put a common CD and it does not load the tracks.  Debian 11 has improved a lot I must say and now that Chromium 97 has arrived, I am starting to use it a little more and it is good overall.  I have compiled the Kernel in version 5.15.3 with 4K pages and with a firmware update I can make the AMD Radeon 5700 XT 50 th Anniversary edition work well.  I'd like to have Ubuntu troubleshoot but I still haven't figured out how to report it to them directly if I have to tell you the truth ...

Answering one of my own questions: multi-boot off the same disk is straightforward, I'm running both Void and Ubuntu on different partitions (I just need to get the video bios loaded now).

ClassicHasClass:
The main problem with Fedora is libgraphene, which is known, and sharkcz has been looking into it. A simple rebuild suffices to patch in place in the meantime if you are affected.

MauryG5:
Classic the problem is that I do not know if I am capable of making this modification, it depends on the complexity of this procedure you are saying. However, before unmounting the Fedora 35 hardisk, I had installed libgraphene, I had also written it in the discussion concerning Fedora 35 but unfortunately nothing has changed because obviously we also need this patch you are talking about. I don't know if I can put this patch but ...
