Let me know if you are just trying to get a different experience in Desktop Environments (DE) or if you are actually trying to learn the CLI (Command Line Interface). For an average user it really isn't necessary to learn the CLI. You can install everything from Gnome Software and about any software you would want for the average user (and then some) will be available. Then again maybe you would like to learn both? It is up to you and your needs. I do have some advice for some useful Gnome Extensions once you have an install. In the screenshot below you will notice there is more going on in my status bar than on a default install. This is provided by Gnome Extensions. And this is true on any distro if you are using Gnome as your DE. So it is not just useful for Fedora. Let me know more of you intentions and I will be better able to help you. Though for now I need to get some rack. I have not been to sleep yet since I left work and I am exhausted. I will no doubt be around this evening.

It only requires like 8 gigs or less for a pretty complete install. Did you make sure to format your HDD? I need some sleep but I will help some more when I get up. I really do not think you could possibly not have enough space on the HDD. I think either you did not chose the right device (perhaps the HDD is not showing up?) or you did not tell the setup to partition and format the drive for a GNU/Linux installation. Not sure, some screenshots will help though, even if you have to take them with your phone until you have the system up.

Though you will be able to get an idea from running it on a USB. It will just be a bit slower than if installed on an actual hard drive.

One of the reasons I left Meta was that they moderated your account for any mention of Distro Watch. Even in our Linux support groups. They called it a Cyber Security issue with absolutely no explanation as to why it was considered a threat. Then they started moderating your account for any mention of Linux period. Even in a Linux Support group. That really drew the line for me.

If you are having a hard time reaching Distro Watch it may be because of your anonymous browsing. Many sites block Tor these days because of misuse (spammers and trolls using it to keep from being banned). You could try a proxy.

@plan-A

Many scammers use domain names close to popular name in order to attack the unexpected. That is why it is important to do your due diligence and be sure you are on an official site. The other day number one search result for a common utility came back for a site that wanted to sell you a copy of what you could get from the official site for free.

A bridge only prevents your ISP from knowing you are using Tor, it does not in anyway stop your destination site from knowing. All exits are public knowledge and sites use that data to block Tor browsers. There is nothing to stop a site from knowing you are using Tor besides an online proxy.

I have used Tor and contributed off and on for decades. I am very familiar with the project and what it can do and what it cannot.

@plan-A

Tor does not use DNS so adjusting it will not change anything. You use a web based proxy at the end of the chain which will obfuscate your IP of your Tor exit. This is the only way to get past sites that block Tor. As I said bridges have nothing to do with it, as that is your entry point and is an entirely different topic and an entirely different reason to use them.

@plan-A

Right now I am busy reading a book but later I will get you some links to online proxy sites. Do not use a proxy browser or something that you would have to download. You need a proxy site that you can access while browsing. I will get you urls later. A site that lets you plug in the url you want to go to and then connects you to it. You should have to do nothing at all to your configuration to get it to work and they do not even require JS to work.
