Install is already done.
I am just listing any additional items I did or still need to fix. -
Looks like suspend/resume is still a problem.

When you look at system details, which graphics does it list in that window? Just curious... mine wasn't playing nicely.

No not yet.
No Ubuntu for me, I'd prefer to stick with the Fedora family.
I might go try Fedora 26. -
Well, I tried Fed 26 & the power management when closing lid just doesn't work.
Neither Hibernate nor Suspend work like they should.
Right now, I'm kinda stuck!

I close the lid, the light on the front starts glowing off and on slowly like it always did for sleep mode.
I open the lid back up after a few moments and the screen lights back up and asks for my password.
How long you want me to leave it in standby?
-
@JaredBusch That is fine. Thanks for the detail.
-
@FATeknollogee my power settings for reference.
-
@JaredBusch Those are the same power settings I have.
I tried both suspend & hibernate, both were a no-go. -
After chatting with the folks at Korora they suggest I file a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com
