installing Fedora is like opening a beer - you can do it with everything with a bit of skill and dedication

It didn't happen to me. Stable version hung a lot and didn't have all the features.

No, of course, I'm not recommending the old one, since it lacks of a lot of featuress, but is normal to expect failures in a beta.

Hahaha yes

I run Skype beta in a daily basis (my company uses it as communication channel) and It works Ok, no perfect, but ok

looks strange. Did it happen before on this hardware? Did you try to add acpi=off in kernel boot parameters?

ACPI exception. Just ignore. You can't do anything with this.

Btw, does Skype work fine in Fedora?

If you need only text chats you can also install pidgin-skypeweb package from repositories. It works fine.

I don't use Skype, my parents need it to videochat

Then you can just open https://web.skype.com in Chromium Web Browser.

Any web browser*

Skype Beta is just packaged proprietary Chromium build with this single webpage (Electron technology).

Uh.. Ok....

Any web browser*

Video calls works fine only on Chromium.

But not on Chromium from Fedora repos because Spot removed almost all codecs from it. But you can add Russian Fedora repositories and install Chromium with full codecs pack from it.

that clarifies it

if anyone wants to do something for Fedora, I can highly recommend this one: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/earn-fedora-badges-designing-badges/

I did it once, it is fun and easy - if you've got a hour or so of spare time and want to play with Inkscape, it's great fun :)

nb: @brajiraofthemessia also, unitedrpm was abusing copr by building their pacakges on it, even though they were packages that Fedora cannot ship/build

nb: which is not allowed in copr

nb: copr admins finally had to send them an email mentioning that we were going to have to get fedora legal involved and then they quit

Okie, I'm not gonna use their repo...

How can you change window managers in GNOME?

Yesterday an update was pushed to rpmfusion for chromium-59-cidecs-freeworld, which deprecated the fedora package i would be happy if it didnt also deprecate my chromium itself

Welcome in the group

How can you change window managers in GNOME?

Alternative window managers cannot be used with GNOME Shell however GNOME Flashback provides sessions for Metacity and Compiz. Furthermore, it is possible to define your own custom GNOME sessions which use alternative components.

Ok, thanks...

How can you change window managers in GNOME?

I don't think that's possible in Gnome 3

Oh :( okie...

BTW, and just as an experiment, I'm installing Fedora Workstation on a 1GB RAM Netbook.

Gnome?

Yup

U won't have enough ram for running browse

Try i3wm or Xfce

I don't like i3wm

Gnome consume about 700 MB

Well, it's working so far.

Slowly but works

I don't like i3wm

Your ram does

Well, it's working so far.

Shocking, it freezes on my 4 giga ram

Try i3wm or Xfce

Or MATE, or Pantheon...

Anyone use a screenrecorder for KDE

?

Shocking, it freezes on my 4 giga ram

Never freeze on my 4GB RAM laptop.

if so suggest please

But it gets on my nerves all the space wasted in Gnome

Or MATE, or Pantheon...

How Pantheon looks like nowadays?

Anyone use a screenrecorder for KDE

I would if I could boot into it... ?

I would if I could boot into it... ?

Huh ok what did you use?

Your ram does

I didn't ask her opinion ?

How Pantheon looks like nowadays?

Very very good looking... The copr repo is also very stable... I`ll post screenshots later, if you`d like...

I didn't ask her opinion ?

Isn`t your RAM a he?

Huh ok what did you use?

A tty...

Isn`t your RAM a he?

In Spanish you say "la" RAM, which is female article.

So to me is a "she".

In Spanish you say "la" RAM, which is female article.

Oh okie...

Very very good looking... The copr repo is also very stable... I`ll post screenshots later, if you`d like...

That's what I wanted to see! Screenshots!

Le bélier in French though...

XFCE gives u some of gnome and it's literally ram-friendly, very underestimated kd.

Agree, I was just presenting a few more options....

And I believe @Kohane used to use XFCE before, so I thought something new...

ERROR: S client not available

And I believe @Kohane used to use XFCE before, so I thought something new...

Yes, I used it with Debian.

XFCE+Plank= ❤️

XFCE is always the best

customization options are infinite

Is there a global menu applet for xfce?

customization options are infinite

Agreed...

customization options are infinite

KDE is the most customizable but It sucks in terms of memory and battery usage

Besides having a lot of heavy things u may not need

They even installed torrent app for u

And that is not red hat philosophy

Is that the XFCE task manager?

yes

The UI is terrific...

#nomenus

who needs menus anyways haha

who needs menus anyways haha

Up with GNOME + CSD !!! :)

yes

Can I install the app on my Fedora GNOME without pulling in the XFCE desktop as a dependency? What`s the package name?

Besides having a lot of heavy things u may not need

Oh, but that's easy to get rid of.

xfce4-taskmanager

Can I install the app on my Fedora GNOME without pulling in the XFCE desktop as a dependency? What`s the package name?

and yes probably

that should be it

xfce stuff isnt bloated with the entire desktop behind it

Okie, opening a terminal...

Oh, but that's easy to get rid of.

Ofc

xfce stuff isnt bloated with the entire desktop behind it

? MATE too, but only on Fedora it seems...

?

xfce stuff isnt bloated with the entire desktop behind it

Yes, agree. But I'm just trying to see if Fedora and Debian are equally lightweight with the same desktop.

Yes, agree. But I'm just trying to see if Fedora and Debian are equally lightweight with the same desktop.

ah

So far I prefer Debian.

Do u guys can inatall stuff from software center ?

Cuz I couldn't
