Korora 23, a Fedora Based Linux Desktop Contender
-
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.

Downloading now and am going to boot a VM up of this.
-
@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 ...
-
Welcome to Korora
-
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.
-
Here is the installed welcome screen.
-
Firefox comes build in with uBlock Origin.

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.
-
@DustinB3403 looks nice
-
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.
-
And with nothing but the system monitor running...
-
Can it run Steam?
-
Caja view

Looks to be able too

-
And I have a Steam login option.
-
Wooh disk usage analyzer (tiny 10GB partition for the VM)

Seriously? Now that is cool.

Change the OS, but the user environment is still the same. IT is tricktsty it is.

The wonderful world of Linux. Being able to change the OS, but keep the desktop. Or change the desktop while keeping the OS. Keeping your files regardless of OS or desktop. It's miraculous.

So you are running Mate on Korora 24 now? No Cinnamon because you are in a VM without direct GPU access? What desktop options are available?
-
So far it is a really nice looking desktop environment.
-
Hey this looks pretty nice.
-
I need this background to move...
Please start swimming!
-
That would be a perfect animated background.
-
@scottalanmiller wouldn't it. It would be completely awesome.
-
And it needs to make a blooping sound as it goes.
-
Or a pooping sound, that would be funnier.

A smooth install on Acer with UEFI.
More than I can say for the Ubuntu install I did on it 3 years ago that finally got wiped today.
