    Author just said the search feels faster, and apps feel like they open faster. There’s absolutely no numbers supporting this. It’s mostly just an opinion piece with the same fluff that comes with every Fedora update article.

      “It has a cool default theme for Gnome, and there’s a colored bash prompt.”

      The “cool default theme” in Fedora is the default Gnome theme. There isn’t a “colored bash prompt.” Fedora is a major distribution on par with stuff like Arch and Debian, so news about Fedora is news about linux.

      Love Fedora, hate Fedora, I couldn’t care less. But at least do a little research.

      Although most of the praise in the article actually goes to the improvements in GNOME, it’s always great to see Linux getting high praise on more “mainstream” news sources. ZDNet is more techy than normal, but still reaches a wider audience than Linux-specific articles.

      I am sucker for these things. I have a small laptop I keep around for menial tasks and I use Mint on it. I wanted to change it for a while and this article just tipped the balance. Fedora here we go! Although I will be using Xfce for it’s lightweight.

      But… Yay Linux! Yay Fedora! Yay OP!

    And you’ll be primed for all the telemetry Fedora doesn’t want you to opt out of. Coming soon.

      God why are people here so obsessed with optional telemetry. Fedora aren’t selling your secrets to advertiser’s, they are just trying to create a better experience for users, and you can always opt out.

      Has it ever occured to you that it is also good to give back to the open source community?

      Do you just look for things to get mad at? This hasn’t even been implemented yet. Even if it had, it would be opt-in. And even if you opt-in, the data is all anonymous and you would be able to see exactly the data that gets sent out. If Fedora or anyone else really wanted to spy on you, I assure you they wouldn’t let you know beforehand.

      Yea, big evil telemetry like “are users using this feature?”

      Oh no, I feel so tracked.

          During the initial startup, you’re asked if you want to share telemetry. I honestly can’t remember if it’s default on or off, but you can’t miss it.

          It’s literally just a proposal. Nothing has been set in stone and nothing has been developed yet. Again, please, look into the thing.
