BTW, it's been such a long time without looking into this site or anything related to KDE that I had to study it a bit. Very nice. I may try Plasma 5 now, just to see how this is working.

Yeah I also looked for kde look originally and was surprised when I got redirected

Yeah. It's been a year or so since I used KDE last time, they really changed

I'm going to install Fedora Workstation on a netbook (Acer Aspire One, 1GB RAM, Atom N450, 250GB HDD). Any suggestions or advices?

Fedora loves Python! ?

/me loves Lua, too ;)

Python Loves Fedora❤️?

Also!

LXDE edition. :)

Uhm... it's been a long time without using it... Maybe I give it a try...

Do not install Workstation :P

I'm trying the Workstation live and it works quite well...

Do not install Workstation :P

Why?

You will have bad User Experience with an Atom and 1 GB of RAM

Oh. I see.

Yes, I installed Debian here. But now I thought of trying Fedora, the same media I used to install on my laptop and it seemed to work fine.

Of course, I don't mean to do any heavy work like video editing. Rather for emails, writing my stories and some programming.

How about installing minimal Fedora and openbox there?

Mmm... I don't like much Openbox...

Last time I used it I didn't like it at all, actually.

Then LXDE. Or maybe XFCE.

I have Cinnamon and Mate on Debian, installed on that netbook.

Using the live media I noticed the netbook's touchpad works better than the laptop's ?

Then LXDE. Or maybe XFCE.

Well, I can try both and see what works best.

LXDE is the better option for perfomance here, but I would go for XFCE, at least looks better :P

Fedora loves Python! ?

Yeah the whole linux js python/Ruby realm ❤️

LXDE is the better option for perfomance here, but I would go for XFCE, at least looks better :P

I'm quite sensitive to pretty/ugly stuff, so I guess I'll go for XFCE....

But for distro I didn't choose it yet, Fedora Vs gentoo but fedora look more stable OS

Sorry I didn't greet, Hi all linux ppl

But for distro I didn't choose it yet, Fedora Vs gentoo but fedora look more stable OS

Gentoo is an experience and definitely a little more of a wild ride, but some people are looking for that. I think you'll find more stability from Fedora in that regard.

I'm totally newbie to Linux, glad to join you guys

But for distro I didn't choose it yet, Fedora Vs gentoo but fedora look more stable OS

They're exactly the opposite extremes. In Gentoo you have to compile and do everything manually by yourself. In Fedora programmes come already packaged and most of things work out of the box.

Sorry I didn't greet, Hi all linux ppl

Hallo! Welcome aboard!

You can install both and learn from them. ?

Thank you guys for guiding me, apparently I pick fedora because I will end up using servers someday, and obviously CestOS is my bet ?

Yes, that's a very good choice.

Fedora community sounds more mature as well

Heh, this is the same reason why I started using Fedora three years ago. :P

Server stuff? Yes when it come to comparing in server sector, it's insane to ignore red hat masterpiece (CentOS) ?

Thanks!

Welcome bro that's fact more than compliment

Server stuff? Yes when it come to comparing in server sector, it's insane to ignore red hat masterpiece (CentOS) ?

Yeah, I had a CentOS 6 machine at the time and had zero idea what I was doing, so I installed Fedora 20 a week after its release to try to get a handle on that. :P

The same case ?, I wanted to install CentOS as main OS but my teacher told me that it's not as good as Fedora for Desktop

Welcome bro that's fact more than compliment

Sis actually. But anyway. ?

For Desktop Fedora is better indeed.

Oh I'm sorry sis, pardon me

No worries.

For Desktop Fedora is better indeed.

For sure, but I find three option now on get fedora, obviously I rule out fedora server but is the workstation the desktop version ?

yes

The Workstation is the "default experience", more or less. If you're new to Linux and just want to get started, you can use that. It uses the GNOME 3 desktop environment which is the one Fedora is most well-known for.

There's also other "spins" that feature different desktop environments. Perhaps some of them might feel more familiar: https://spins.fedoraproject.org

There's also some cool labs that come with preinstalled tools for different uses. Some of them are pretty cool: https://labs.fedoraproject.org

If you want to explore around and see different options, both of the above sites are good ways to do that. If you just want to get started and play around with options later (since you can always change desktop environments later), you can use the Workstation.

Oh thank you guys you are very kind ? I'll install it now then

No problem! Happy installs. :)

Cinnamon is my personal favourite from the spins. You can try it live and if you don't like it, try others until you find one you like enough to install.

Cinnamon is definitely nice and easy to use if you're coming from Windows since it's not too different from the Windows 7-ish desktop.

The Astronomy and Scientific labs are very good. I think they use Gnome Shell or KDE, but I'm not completely sure.

Astronomy definitely uses KDE.

That was why I had to pass on it, KDE is too much for my personal tastes.

Ah, okay. Well, I should have guess it, its main maintainer is German.

Heheh, I guess KDE is popular especially in Germany?

I like it but I end using more time to configure it than using it...

Heheh, I guess KDE is popular especially in Germany?

Yeah! Many KDE developers are Germans as well.

I like it but I end using more time to configure it than using it...

Yeah, that's what I don't have the time to do. ? For almost a year and a half now, I've been trying to transition from GNOME to i3wm, but I just keep putting it off because of configuration. :P

ERROR: S client not available

Yeah! Many KDE developers are Germans as well.

Cool, then that makes sense then!

Yeah, that's what I don't have the time to do. ? For almost a year and a half now, I've been trying to transition from GNOME to i3wm, but I just keep putting it off because of configuration. :P

That's why I like desktops like Gnome and Mate. Look nice but without too much eye candy so I can focus on my tasks instead of effects and extra stuff

Yeah, that's what I don't have the time to do. ? For almost a year and a half now, I've been trying to transition from GNOME to i3wm, but I just keep putting it off because of configuration. :P

It's funny, I switched from Gnome to i3wm pretty fast.

As usual, a matter of personality and preferences.

Yeah, easy to just get to the point and get working.

It's funny, I switched from Gnome to i3wm pretty fast.

Not saying it isn't possible, but I needed to revisit a number of things to make it work well for me but haven't had a moment to just play around with my desktop for a while.

As usual, a matter of personality and preferences.

After you get into configuring it, it becomes pretty.

I can share my config here if anyone wants it. :)

After you get into configuring it, it becomes pretty.

Yeah, it's the initial configuration I have to get through, and forcing myself to keep using it even if there's something that makes me want to revert. I even had a list once but I can't remember what I did with it.

I can share my config here if anyone wants it. :)

Can't hurt!

Can't hurt!

Only need to add comments to config, disable lines that won't work anywhere except my system, include lockscreen script and statusbar config in an archive. :)

Won't take long.

For lockscreen script, you should only need scrot from nondefault tuff. Also, terminus font for the config itself. Feel free to play around with it, @jflory7.

And everybody else, of course.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome we have the same birthday on Linux then, I just installed fedora, I'm exploring it now it's charming ?

That isn't too much, I'm following edx linux foundation course, it's free and efficient, highly recommended ?

Gnome is awesome , isn't ?

It's nice if you have good enough hardware to power it. :)

thanks for the recommendation .. i'll check that ?

I don't, therefore I use simplier enviroments.

It's nice if you have good enough hardware to power it. :)

Is it heavier than others? They talked about XFCE and KDE, are they lighter ?

XFCE is lighter, KDE is on par, I think. I personally udr very light i3wm, but it isn't any close to what you see in OS X and Windows.

Welcome, bash is skill to have it too ? Udacity course makes the world easier

No problem if the performance is better, what do u personally recommend ?

I'd recommend to look at screenshots of each one, or even try them yourself and then decide. :)

Ugh, I think higher resolution is necessary here.
