YUM or DNF

@scottalanmiller Just making sure that hand't changed... It has been a very long time since I got my feet wet with Fedora. I'm impressed with v22. It works seriously nicely on my laptop.

If that changed, YUM and DNF would go away.
YUM and DNF are literally RPM changing. No one wants RPM itself to handle that stuff, that's for another tool. You can safely assume RPM is what RPM is. It works perfectly and just needs more automation on top, which is provided already. -

KDE connect is awesome, have you played with that at all?
-
Not yet... I still haven't even figured out what the default desktop is... (It feels like Gnome 3 to me).
Whta is the KDE Connect?

Fedora default has always been Gnome (first 2, then 3.) But KDE has always been fully supported.

I can't answer for IOS, but for android it will display notifications on the desktop from your phone. You can also transfer files, control media, and use your phone as a mouse and keyboard.

That's awesome, okay now I need to see if that works on iOS. Maybe I need full time Linux desktop, that's an option for me now.
-
@scottalanmiller Not to mention you can get your Windows games to play under Wine, if they are GOG.... and even some Steam games also work under Wine.

Well I'm only two months away from getting a gaming rig (I hope) so the idea would be one Windows 10 laptop (my HP Folio) and one Linux laptop (my HP Envy) and one Windows gaming rig (Zotac Magnus 970.)

I've been happy with Windows 10... I just really wish they had copied part of RPM and made it easy to install applications via powershell. They could use the MSI packager to do most of it too.

They have Chocolatey for that.

True... but it would be nice to have it integrated and supported by Microsoft. And by supported I mean getting vendors to build that into their release.
-
It's supported by all of the vendors that matters. Linux is different because the packages nearly all come from the OS vendor. Microsoft's closed source world can't do that. So the system can't easily be replicated in a similar way.

Here's what the notifications look like:
