Not the most exciting release, but boy am I glad Fedora exists. I switched over from Ubuntu around this time last year and it's been so much better, more stable, better packaging, more up-to-date packages by default. A really great OS. And on my Thinkpad it runs flawlessly.
- hd4 9y agoI also left Ubuntu recently, so I'm a bit of a Fedora noob but the KDE spin has been amazing, not sure if that's got more to do with KDE or Fedora though. The partition manager has an annoying bug hen opening in 26 so I'm hoping that got fixed. And I think the new Firefox will come packaged or at least part of a normal update, so good times. HP Pavilion and it works completely fine.
- Lordarminius 9y agoI had the opposite experience. Could not install Fedora 26 on a HP machine alongside Windows 10. I was ready to pull my hair out... Ubuntu installed fine. Never did find out what the issue was.
- ufo 9y agoFedora 26 came out a bit late so Fedora 27 had a shorter release cycle to compensate.
- dralley 9y agoThat's not the real reason.
- jandrese 9y agoI'm mostly still using Ubuntu, but I did install a Fedora 26 box to see how well it works these days. I've been pretty happy with the results. Ubuntu is just a little too conservative with their package management sometimes and Fedora seems like a decent answer to that problem.
