Stan, I am just trying to become as familiar with possible and to try to understand why Xfce fans still cling to Xfce. I assume Fedora ships Xfce without any tweaks. Other Xfce distros, change the menu, the panel, and add or remove apps or both. I do not think I would recommend Xfce in Fedora

Today's update went smoothly. Goodbye to kernel-rc3 My install is now rocking the rc5 kernel. There were some updates to NetworkManager, Firefox, and a bunch of packages like gcc, that would have been a major update in the 100+ one-developer/maintainer distros. htop looks good Video playback,

Xfce on Rawhide on hardware Today's Rawhide update ( for me ) was almost comparable to what you would get when other smaller distros announce a new version, such as NetRunner, and probably much more than Neon. Right ?? My install updated to the new stable systemd, and the latest DXVK, and
