But much less bleeding.<br />If you really need some bleeding feature of Fed it can however be upgraded in CentOS as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15359390329010470167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-75957946515482177752016-04-26T09:57:38.390+01:002016-04-26T09:57:38.390+01:00Eric, just a thought...

KDE3 - that is a significant fraction of the openSUSE community still believes in it and ports KDE3 (including recent version of Qt, thus you are not stuck with qt3 and all KDE3 apps run in fact on qt4+) showing the strength of said community.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15359390329010470167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-33734267679062589352016-04-26T09:48:09.937+01:002016-04-26T09:48:09.937+01:00Hey, have a look @ Eric's post... i mean, does...Hey, have a look @ Eric's post... i mean, doesn't it say it all?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15359390329010470167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-66743528173885579682016-04-25T22:01:39.905+01:002016-04-25T22:01:39.905+01:00it's not a matter of tolerance, itś technical....it's not a matter of tolerance, itś technical...

But when Canonical switched from Gnome to Unity and added the spyware, I didn't feel comfortable with it anymore. Therefore I switched to Fedora + Gnome. It wasn't an easy switch since Ubuntu had many things like drivers out of the box. Things that Fedora still lacks. But I learned to tweak it and I'm now happy with it. I mainly love Fedora for its integration with Gnome because it does everything I like and want. Besides, Its integration with Google is unbeatable.<br /><br />Unfortunately developers are making software available for Ubuntu only. Like if it were the only Linux OS. It is actually a good thing though but I wish there was the same amount of software for Fedora as well.<br /><br />Many people have recommended me to use Ubuntu Gnome and that's it. But Canonical doesn't really care about Ubuntu Gnome, They don't even care about Unity 7 anymore. They only care about Ubuntu Touch, Unity 8, Mir and Snaps. They have been working on that for a very long time and we have not seen pleasant results yet. Soon there will be no Ubuntu Gnome, Kubuntu or any other *buntu because Ubuntu Touch would not be ported to different DEs. Canonical could have had invested more millions in the upstream to make it awesome to everyone but they chose to take a greedy path instead.<br /><br />On the other hand we have Fedora. Fedora comes with Gnome Out of the Box and it is indeed the bleeding edge of Linux. Linus Torvalds may have created Linux but Red Hat has taken Linux to a higher scale.<br /><br />Red Hat contributes to: <br />Fedora<br />Gnome<br />Kernel<br /><br />And many other open source apps: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Red_Hat_contributions<br /><br />Gnome is becoming very touch friendly, Wayland will be the standard display server and xdg-apps could become potentially better than snaps. The whole Linux community will stay close to the upstream while Canonical will keep their "open source" projects that only work with Ubuntu. I feel that Canonical wants to be like Apple but they don't have the money to pull it up. <br /><br />When it comes to the server area I remember it used to be either CentOS or Red Hat but now Ubuntu has taken over because it is so easy to deploy web apps. However I don't like to use two different Linux environments. Since I got used to dnf and dnf will soon replace yum I don't want to go back to apt.<br /><br />The real question in here is: Will Ubuntu Touch have what it takes to become the leading OS for workstations?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13890466482614847750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-79309240848352512842016-04-14T18:08:19.820+01:002016-04-14T18:08:19.820+01:00Claude, you're not very tolerant, are you?Claude, you're not very tolerant, are you?DarkDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128579430145372138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-45362837816524655402016-04-14T17:45:15.600+01:002016-04-14T17:45:15.600+01:00Fedora is a bad joke at best
