I first tried out Fedora a few weeks ago. It was a terrible first impression because there were banner ads in the installer. They were relevant to Fedora, but still, they were banner ads sticking out like a sore thumb. I've never seen anything like that when installing a Linux distro before and it was a major turn off.
Yes, I got it from the official website. Yes, I checked the hash.
The impression probably would have been a lot different if the messages were delivered in a format that didn't look exactly like banner ads on the WWW.
- m4rtink 7y agoThe banner ads will likely not be in the new release, but for a different reason. The top-level screen where they are shown no longer hosts any configuration screens during default (Fedora Workstation) live installation and only two screens on network installation, which will also be soon moved to the previous "summary" top-level screen. Due to this the "adds" might look out of place as the rest of the screen is empty. At the moment it is unclear if they will be replaced by some new bigger artwork or just by a bigger and more fancy installation progress reporting.
- y4mi 7y agoUh, I only remember some highlights for some of the bundled software... Something like "if you need a office suite, libre office is available in the store" ... Are you seriously complaining about that? Or is it something else I just didn't see yet? Because if it's the former, I sure hope you're not using MacOS, Ubuntu, centos, opensuse or windows either to name a few. They do the same thing after all.
