Korora Desktop Rollcall

Alienware Aurora R3 - GNOME

Just got this installed on my Thinkpad 450S. Lightning fast. So far the only concern I can find is that there is not a Linux sender/presenter for our Infocus Liteshow or WePresent Wireless presentation gateways. MirrorOp is the software we use on Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS -- but can't find Linux

Korora release cycle reminds of Elementary OS (Ubuntu LTS) and Linux Mint (Ubuntu LTS).

Except it isn't based on an LTS under the hood, so that does not work well.

Their published information is "a few weeks, but don't hold us to it"
So no idea WTF is going on this time.

"Let's just say that there's no ETA and we release when it's ready from now on.
Maybe we should skip it and go straight for K27 when Fedora releases 27 in October/November. 
(Just kidding)"....Might make more sense than they realize at this point.

Posting from Deepin now, BTW.

I saw that fedora desktop could be installed by
dnf. Could I go from Korora to Fedora bydnfor do I have to download a new image to USB, format, and start all over? -

Korora is a different OS, as @gjacobse learned when he tried to follow Fedora update processes on Korora. DNF is a package installer, as Fedora and Korora aren't packages but different (but closely related) operating systems, I don't know of any reasonable way to convert from one to another. There might be some theoretical possibility there, but it would be absurdly complex.

Got tired of waiting for these guys to update Korora 25. -

Sorry. Didn't mean to equate it to Cinnamon or anything like that. Just considering going from Korora to pure Fedora on this laptop.

Just switched to fedora and installed KVM. What is the deal with Boxes? Is it "enterprise"-worthy to learn?

Boxes is just a silly thing for using KVM on the desktop for a VirtualBox style replacement. I've not seen any value to it.

It does some kind of remote system control too according to what they say but I've never used it.

Boxes is for the simple minded users. And it only allow allow creation of VMs under Qemu/KVM User Session.

A little late to the party, but I've finally settled on Korora as my distro of choice on my home laptop. Linux newbie here so I went with Mint initially as it preached stability and was most popular. It was good, but I wanted more. Love the cinnamon interface of Korora with the base of Fedora. Looking forward to running it for a while and seeing how stable it is in the long run.
