For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.

The solution: use Fedora 38 XFCE Spin edition. XFCE gets the user back to something like GNOME2.....simple, sensible, easy to use....... F38 is also really good with older Windows applications.....just install WINE and you will be good to go! OK...nothing is perfect! Make sure you do a clean install of F38 with the ext4 file system. Fedora defaults to btrfs.....a serious mistake in my opinion. That's it.....9 out of 10.....close to perfection!! Was this review helpful?

Although GNOME is one of the main Linux desktop environments, very few distributions contain a standard desktop. Predominantly GNOME comes with various modifications that try to mimic the graphical interface of the 90s. Fedora provides one of the cleanest, modern examples of GNOME. User-friendly Many operating systems try to help new users adapt with graphical installers and welcome screens, but no one expected the same from the free Fedora. Nevertheless, it supports a ready-made Flatpak in addition to RPM files. Third-party repositories can be enabled during installation, and after installation, users are greeted with a welcome screen that talks about interface basics, working with gestures, shortcuts. Provides cutting-edge software Fedora has updates every 6 months, with no LTS version, so users get up-to-date changes, with the latest version always being the flagship version. Unlike most competitors, Fedora delivers cutting-edge open source software. It was the first major distribution to switch from ext4 to Btrfs, from X11 to Wayland, from PulseAudio to PipeWire. Reliable When radical changes are made to Fedora, you can be sure they are ready for active mass use. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 259 reader reviews of Fedora...
