This is either written by AI, or a high schooler. What an insane progression through these paragraphs, and constant beveling of expectations. WTF is this even?
Looking forward to trying it on my Virtual Machine.
I love Fedora Workstation and Gnome but I’d want to see what the fuss is about when some people are saying that Gnome is too limiting and KDE gives you much more freedom.
I can’t believe they’re up to 40. I remember installing Fedora Core 1 like it was yesterday. Yum (and now dnf) has come a long way. It used to have to individually retrieve metadata files for every available package, rather than using a single compressed index of all the packages available in the repository you were using. It made just getting to the stage where dependencies were calculated take forever.
1 every 6 months or so. so 2 per year. The main difference with other distros is that Fedora is always improving and adding new tech developed in various projects that make part of the FOSS world.
Just a bit of complaint: if you need to highlight how important it is to make a backup or set up automatic backups, tell the users how to do that or at least lead them to a page which explains how.
This is one of the (small) gripes I have with Fedora (at least the KDE Spin, not sure about the GNOME edition): it doesn’t really have an “official” way to handle backups. Distros like Linux Mint do a better job here.
Yes, you can use pretty much anything and I ended up using Restic, but it’s not great for your average “office” user who would rather just have an entry in the system settings where they can configure a reliable backup easily. Then add a restore process to the installer.
Apple’s Time Machine is a good template in terms of UX I’d say, it’s built-in, easy to setup and also easy to restore either single files/folders or a whole system with an option in the setup assistant.
I’ve joined Linux clients to AD domains before, but I didn’t know about Fleet Commander. (admittedly, I didn’t really look) Might be something to play with for a bit
