  • Both GNOME and KDE are first-class DEs in Fedora - stability is a non issue. You can install both if you want and select your choice at the login screen to just switch back and forth. The only thing you might want to keep in mind is that both have their own prpgrams, like file managers for example, so you’ll have two programs for the same task.

    Performance is a wash, really, with a halfway modern setup. Your browser will be consuming way more resources than the desktop by far.

    Compatibility is also a non issue nowadays, both implement the Freedesktop standard and are fully compatible with each other.

    I’m pretty sure that the installer is the same for all major spins.

    Hope you have fun with Fedora!













  • Having had both, I can say that with the framework you get a much better display, but you lose the trackpoint. The framework has better repairability, but has less IO. The hardware on the framework is well supported on Linux, but can be hit or miss on thinkpads, especially newer ones.

    The only thing I’m really missing on the framework is the black thinkpad chassis - can’t really get used to the aluminum.


  • I went on a trip through the Ardennes and the weather was horrible. Hailstorms with hail sticking to my visor and lining the street, half an hour later sunshine. Heavy rain a whole day long.

    The rain liners did their job. The pant liner has an elastic to keep it in place and I was able to put it on and take it off over my boots (with a bit of struggling). There also isnt any v cut. The water didn’t puddle anywhere or creep in. Actually, the only parts of me that got wet were my fingers because the gloves were absolutely waterlogged!

    Maybe you had a different model liner?
