GNOME3 is the default (and likely the most tested) desktop. On a side note. One component I do wish Red Hat would upgrade regularly between point releases is the HPLIP printer driver. The version shipped with RHEL/CentOS is fairly obsolete and also buggy (hp-plugin hasn't been working for ages). Which means pretty much every new HP printer I buy nowadays is unsupported. There is always the possibility of installing HPLIP from upstream, which I documented here for example : * https://blog.microlinux.fr/hp-pagewide-pro-centos/ But this method also has its shortcomings. And is one of the many reasons why I'm considering the move to Fedora on the desktop (which is more or less a rolling distribution with releases in between).

I have used several repos since I installed the box two years ago, and there was quite a bit of clutter. I'm leaning towards my use of xscreensaver (I like the 'flurry' screensaver) as the likely culprit, but I had enough clutter that it's not really practical (not to mention that I really can't take the time) to fully troubleshoot and be close to 100% sure. Since I did have some clutter to deal with, and the drives (250GB mSATA SSD and 1TB HGST 7K1000) are two years old at this point, I decided it was time to refresh my installation. So I got a good deal on a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB mSATA and another HGST 7K1000 (one of the best 2.5 inch drives out there), and waited until they came in to do a complete reinstall, and am rsyncing files over from the older 1TB drive as needed. The Dell Precision M6700 laptop has two 2.5 inch bays plus the mSATA slot, so I downloaded the 1804 DVD iso (mirrors must be syncing; the download took way longer than it should have!), installed to the 860 SSD with the 1TB as /home (leaving the old 1TB /home alone), and successfully updated with CR afterwards. The install of the ELrepo nvidia driver went smoothly, and after some install work and rsync work I'm back operational; a USB 3.0 enclosure for the older mSATA boot drive made it much easier. I spent more time trying to troubleshoot GNOME3's startup than it took to install and update! In a related vein, does anyone have a pointer to a good solid GNOME3 startup document that gives enough detail to where someone can actually troubleshoot without having to patch and rebuild gjs and stack trace javascript? Just a simple startup log woul be nice, instead of the SIGSEGV in /var/log/messages. (side note: I really hate how the Android GMail messes up threading; the Samsung email app is better, but it can't properly display a lot of the messages in the CentOS list (such as Johnny's) and GMail can) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
