Although most of the praise in the article actually goes to the improvements in GNOME, it’s always great to see Linux getting high praise on more “mainstream” news sources. ZDNet is more techy than normal, but still reaches a wider audience than Linux-specific articles.
“It has a cool default theme for Gnome, and there’s a colored bash prompt.”
The “cool default theme” in Fedora is the default Gnome theme. There isn’t a “colored bash prompt.” Fedora is a major distribution on par with stuff like Arch and Debian, so news about Fedora is news about linux.
Love Fedora, hate Fedora, I couldn’t care less. But at least do a little research.
School that mutha fucka.
There’s definitively more to a distro than the shell prompt and wallpaper.
Besides the obvious package repos and how well package interoperability is maintained, there’s also differences for default configuration. OpenSUSE offers sane options for security OOtB, IMO.
Then there’s also linux itself. Some distros build the default kernel package with a set of patches to improve typical usability, while others just ship an untouched upstream version. Some offer alternatives while others don’t.
I am sucker for these things. I have a small laptop I keep around for menial tasks and I use Mint on it. I wanted to change it for a while and this article just tipped the balance. Fedora here we go! Although I will be using Xfce for it’s lightweight.
But… Yay Linux! Yay Fedora! Yay OP!
Although I will be using Xfce for it’s lightweight.
In many cases KDE Plasma is actually more optimised. Try both and compare the difference.
There’s nothing better than Mint. I’ve tried them all. Mint is the best all rounder. Those guys really nailed it.

Author just said the search feels faster, and apps feel like they open faster. There’s absolutely no numbers supporting this. It’s mostly just an opinion piece with the same fluff that comes with every Fedora update article.
Typical Fedora fanboys
Author says Fedora isn’t even his daily driver lol

Is there a good/easy way to defrag a btrfs filesystem after 3-4 years of continuous use? At this point I can’t tell if my SUSE install was slow all those years ago or it’s just been getting worse over time.
Or any other distro 🙄
Yeah, i run fedora right now, but its not the best distro for everyone, I’d point begineers towards mint and heavy customisers towards arch and void
I have been using arch for 2 years but couldn’t be bothered anymore with things breaking and needing to debug them
I am now rocking mint and I have absolutely no complains except for the not very polished UI
I look forward to new releases. 40+ roadmap looks really interesting. I’m trying to keep an eye out for the things that’s happened recently with rhel though.
Will the bug where the boot screen is blank after update on nvidia systems be fixed?
And you’ll be primed for all the telemetry Fedora doesn’t want you to opt out of. Coming soon.
God why are people here so obsessed with optional telemetry. Fedora aren’t selling your secrets to advertiser’s, they are just trying to create a better experience for users, and you can always opt out.
Has it ever occured to you that it is also good to give back to the open source community?
Yes, I’m glad at least one person has this opinon!
Touch grass or look into the thing before spreading FUD
Well now is the telemetry opt-out or isn’t it?
During the initial startup, you’re asked if you want to share telemetry. I honestly can’t remember if it’s default on or off, but you can’t miss it.

It’s literally just a proposal. Nothing has been set in stone and nothing has been developed yet. Again, please, look into the thing.
Yea, big evil telemetry like “are users using this feature?”
Oh no, I feel so tracked.
You’re getting confused with Windows.
Fedora isn’t Windows.
Do you just look for things to get mad at? This hasn’t even been implemented yet. Even if it had, it would be opt-in. And even if you opt-in, the data is all anonymous and you would be able to see exactly the data that gets sent out. If Fedora or anyone else really wanted to spy on you, I assure you they wouldn’t let you know beforehand.
What telemetry
