Hi , I'm not too familiar with Fedora Jam but if you want to minimize resource usage , shouldn't XFCE be a better choice since it's less intensive with resources . Although Gnome has also reduced resource usage since initial 3.x releases as well I think . It's just really hard to decide between evrything (l'm de hopping currently as well) . Again ,I'm sorry if none of this was useful . Thanks , Harsh
