Fedora 20 Heisenbug Review:

Brought to you by: System76

– Fedora Specs: –

• Kernel 3.12.5 (updated during review from 3.11)
• GNOME 3.10
• KDE Plasma Workspaces 4.11
• Cinnamon 2.0
• ARM as a Primary Architecture
• No Syslog – systemd journal now takes the place as the default logging.
• No Default Sendmail – Most Fedora users don’t require an MTA.

– Cool Fedora Tools: –

• Boxes – GNOME Wiki!

A simple GNOME 3 application to access remote or virtual systems. It is based on a design from Jon McCann and Jakub Steiner.

• Gnome Software

The new tool, named gnome-software, is designed from the beginning for installing applications. It will present applications with information that is relevant to users (icons, screenshots, reviews, descriptions, ratings,…) instead of information that is relevant for packagers (dependencies, package size, file lists,…).

• Fedora 20 arives near Fedora’s 10th Annversary

The Fedora 20 release coincides with Fedora’s tenth anniversary. The first Fedora release (then called Fedora Core 1) came out on November 6, 2003

– Living with Fedora: –

• Korora Project

Korora is a Fedora Remix that aims to make Linux easier for new users, while still being useful for experts. We provide a complete, easy to use computing system that “just works” out of the box.

• Fedora Utils – Tweak your Fedora

Fedora Utils lets you install codecs and additional software that Fedora doesn’t want to ship, like MP3 codecs, Adobe Flash, Oracle Java etc. It can also fix problems, tweak and cleanup your system, show system information and much more with just few clicks.

• Despite being 10 years old, Fedora feels modern and devioid of technical debt (looking at you Ubuntu & openSUSE). That can be good and bad. Sometimes that technical debt is part of the distro’s legacy, ie YaST.

• Yum Extender

The next generation of Yum Extender, using Python3, Gtk3 and yum-daemon

• FedUp is an offical tool to upgrade to new release since F18

• Things to do after Installing Fedora

Although Fedora 20 works out of the box but still lack some necessary functionality for obvious reasons. Here is a post install step by step guide for Fedora 20.

• Pre-Recorded holiday schedule

• Show’s might not be live, but we have pre-recorded episode for release at their regular times.

• Thank you to everyone in the community, and to those of you who helped in a capacity from moderator, to developer. We’re a small team at JB, but because of real group effort collectively we all accomplish something bigger than you’d think possible.

• Thank you to everyone in the community who contributed financially to the network, or bought a shirt. Your help not only gives us peace of mind during the holidays, but changed the game from “disaster sustainability mode” but to continuing our plans for the new studio build. Details on that in next week’s Feedback segment.
