      The Korora project looks to do for Fedora Linux what Linux Mint did for Ubuntu: take a solid base product and turn it into a stunning and easy to use desktop experience. Like Mint, Korora uses the Cinnamon desktop environment to work much of its magic. Check out DarkDuck's review of the latest Korora release.

          @mlnews Usually only put my Red Hat on for CentOS with servers and hypervisors. Now you've got me considering wiping my Ubuntu notebook this weekend. Flaking on social obligations in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ...

              I might have a new desktop... lol

              This OS is super fast, I've given the VM 2 Gb ram and a dual core, and it's blazing.

                    I love running all the latest Linux desktops 🙂 Wish that I had more machines on which to do it. If I still had my own home, I might make a rock solid NFS /home server and make my machines multi-boot into lots of different Linux desktops and keep all of my files as if they were local but change the OS around.

                        The desktop background actively changes at login.

                        Now my background looks like this. This is actually a pretty smooth running desktop. I might just upgrade my laptop from Win 10 to this...

                          Here are some system stats on a very moderate build.

                                            That's one thing I love being able to do at work. Change the OS, but the user environment is still the same. IT is tricktsty it is.
