Hey guys I'm going to switch to a tilling window manager for full time , can you guys suggest some ready to go less configurable DE? Thanks

Mhm interesting... I was sure that $EDITOR is part of the POSIX standard. But no, it isn't it's only mentioned as suggestion for "not to use in your script"-environment variables.

Go for i3wm and go through this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-S0cWnLBKg 20 minutes and your DE looks fine :)

okay, it's not for Fedora, but iirc there wasn't much difference. Only compton was a bit harder to get

with dnf update --best --allowerasing --refresh ?

There's an article on Fedora mag too...

Right @jflory mentioned it a few days ago. Maybe he has a link or you ^^

Yes

So, no. Not a kid, not a newbie, not a luser, not dumb or ignorant. Actually a fairly seasoned expert. So, to give an example, my main home laptop has 1 SSD + 1 hard disk, and multibooted Windows 7, Ubuntu, Elementary, Arch, and Crunchbang. Fedora couldn't install. I filed a bug. They closed it. So I went downstairs 2 floors and met with the head of the dev team. Who told me "we do not support multiboot with other Linuxes, I am marking this 'will not fix' and closed it.

wow. This really happened? When was this?

Oh yes. July 2014, so not a very long time ago. :-(

It's a great shame. I only wanted to help. Other distros coexist with each other, so I see no reason why RH ones shouldn't... Except that RH doesn't want them to.

Oh yes. July 2014, so not a very long time ago. :-(

Oh I thought it was a long time ago. Hope they have a different views on this now as some people would appreciate having the conveniences of dual booting and running all their distros on hardware performance, instead of vm's.

I tried more recently with Fedora 25. The answer is no.

#UpstreamWorks

I'm glad for both linux and ubuntu community. Finally they can contribute to the upstream, which is good for the gnome project since ubuntu has large desktop userbase.

I tried more recently with Fedora 25. The answer is no.

I'm guessing the real conflict is with the windows right? Dual booting with ubuntu based and other linuxes works for me.

I can't speak to your experience, but from my time in the Fedora community as a non-Red Hatter, I really don't see this type of attitude encouraged and collaboration with other projects is something that's really encouraged if we can work together. Some of the community-oriented teams have people from the Arch community and then there's also a lot of collaboration with OpenSUSE too.

It makes me sad to hear that

I don't think it's representative of the attitude held by many others in the Fedora community

No, the real problem is with other Linux distributions. The fedora installer cannot understand "complex" partitioning schemes such as a duffle home partition shared between 3 or 4 distros, or a shared swap partition, or the boot loader not being on the first hard disk... All things that _every other distro_ can do. And the team are not interested in fixing it, as it's not a problem in their view.

*a single home partition... Sorry, typing on a phone here.

...1) what

2) dont, ever, follow that.

I used Red Hat Linux from version 4.0 through to version 9. Back then some of these things would have been forgivable. They were simpler times. Now, they are not. Linux achieved greatness by playing nice with Windows and every other OS. It can handle every partitioning layout and filesystem there is. But RH's attitude is "we are #1, nothing else matters." Which is why more people now use Ubuntu family distros and it is continuing to gain.

The problem is that Windows doesnt play nice with linux - nor do other linuxes if they also use grub.

Imagine, each update overwrites your grub - from a random distro you installed with maybe a version too old te recognize your shiny new one on another distro.

And the pains that come with supporting windows overwriting the bootloader on updates and other linuxes i can very deeply feel them just not supporting it.

I am not taking about collaboration with programming teams. I am talking about user experience, installing it on real machines alongside other OSes. RH is friendly towards programmers because they might contribute to RH products. Ubuntu doesn't care about that. It tries to make the best distro it can, that is as easy to install and as easy to use as it can be. Linux for ordinary human beings, not for programmers. But every sysadmin, every devops person, started off as a user playing with computers. There are far more of then than there are programmers. It's more important to be helpful and friendly to end users than programmers.

RH doesn't really care about the free users. It cares about paying customers and upstream coders. The users of free stuff are a cost. Not to Ubuntu. That's why there are about 3 Ubuntu users (including Mint) to every Fedora user.

But Ubuntu Community is the 2nd worse in the world, to gain a place in the community and do real contribution is almost impossible, even for coders. In Fedora everything is community decided and discussed with the project, FESCo decissions like the not multi booting with other distros are always discussed, taking every comment into account. "This is not a democracy" doesn't have any space here in Fedora. And if you get too late to the discussion, and you don't take the time to research why and just rant, so I feel really sorry for you, because if you have the career/trajectory you described up there, you haven't learnt anything yet. Like the discussion about systemd again (as you mention, like all the older, change-resistent sysadmins, you don't like it).

And I talk by experience, not just like user

The ubuntu community is there for only 2 things: write in forums and do events

experience, ph.

Nothing more

No for any dicussion or any decision

You can ask to all the "great ubuntu community" if they were asked to drop Unity

Even when it was a really great new to the rest of the linux world

They didn't take the community into account

RH doesn't really care about the free users. It cares about paying customers and upstream coders. The users of free stuff are a cost. Not to Ubuntu. That's why there are about 3 Ubuntu users (including Mint) to every Fedora user.

Also is really dumb to include Mint users like ubuntu users. The Mint community starts because they don't like Gnome Shell, and was even worse with Unity. They might be based on Ubuntu, but they have their own OS

I don't have one unfortunately.

the problem solved when i removed fastestmirror from dnf.conf

ERROR: S client not available

could anybody give me some advice on how to use automatic method of network proxy in fedora 26, i search it for a while but nothing useful found,example and tutorial all are helpful , thanks a lot.

Good afternoon, everybody.

Two good things happened today: I got a refund for that malfunctioned laptop and got a new laptop for myself. Well, "new".

Macbook Air, 13", late 2010 model, C2D 2.13GHz, 4GB RAM, 250GB SSD.

Would very probably deploy Fedora onto it, but might stick with OS X for some time, just to play with it.

I have a similar model, macosx is... well, not so good, but has basics working pretty nicely

I almost didn't have any experience with it, so, want to get some.

What bought me in it is that it's battery is still working nice.

first thing to do is to install macports or homebrew so you will get a package manager, I'm using macports but I've heard that homebrew has more packages

Yeah, thats what I'd do now.

Yeah, a gift, counting that I just got a 14.7kRUB refund for an Apollo Lake laptop.
