Those "things" aren't missing, you simply didn't choose to install them.
The installer can't read your thoughts on what constitutes a "typical
basic system", you need to tell it what kind of setup you want.

my new uid would be 526 and I would keep the 1000 as a gid but renamed from
cazzola to collab. If 526 is the problem how I can solve this?

After all, I think you're most probably right. Just checked FF 43 on a
Wind*ws machine, and all works well.

I tend to view such hazardous advice with more than just suspicion that
the person doesn't fully appreciate the situation, I'm concerned that
they might be a black hat trying to make it easier for their mates.

I think, that as a matter of security, you have to be suspicious of
"turn off your firewall/malware-protection/etc.," advice, as coming from
someone with ulterior motives, or coming from someone who's been
unwittingly conditioned by those with ulterior motives.

Nonsense.  Secure Boot secures Linux systems against rootkits, as
well, by prohibiting unsigned content in kernel mode.

It's an interesting historical footnote, but I don't think you (or the 
authors of those articles) understand the pull request or Linus' 
response.  At the time of that pull request, Linux had supported Secure 
Boot for some time already.  The pull request added a mechanism for 
importing new keys.  So, it's not particularly relevant to the question 
of whether or not to use Secure Boot.

Okay, as the other poster said, you can change some configuration files
to lower the threshold between system user IDs and user IDs.

However, as quite some time ago it was decided to move the threshold to
1000 instead of 500, to follow suit with many other distros, you're
swimming against the tide.  You'll have to handle this reconfiguration
with every update, and probably find more things that don't like this as
time goes on.

If you use IDs below the threshold, you find names don't appear in logon
lists, security functions may restrict what you're allowed to do, etc.

Unless you need a low ID number to fit in with some other OS that you
can't reconfigure, I'd suggest moving up to higher ID numbers, to make
life easier for yourself.

alt + above_tab changes work-spaces, how to disable?

[Digimer]

Hi all,

  With Fedora 23 using the "Power Alt+Tab" extension,  + <~> and
 + <~> (~ == 'above_tab'), gnome cycles through the work spaces
instead of the other windows in the active application. This wasn't the
case in Fedora 22.

  Does anyone know how to disable the workspace cycling? I tried looking
in dconf-editor -> org > gnome > desktop > wm > keybindings without
luck. I am not sure how to look into how extensions work, and I realize
this might be an issue with the extension instead of gnome itself. If
that is the case, any pointer on how to look into extensions would be
much appreciated, too.

Thanks for any help! This is making me pull my hair out...

login.defs (adduser) and /etc/security/* (various login modules)

systemd also has a setting, which gets picked at *compile* time (
--with-system-uid-max), so you may not be able to without recompiling
systemd.
