A Look At The New Features For Fedora 27

[lsatenstein]

Fedora is really hampered by lacking many software options. Fedora Devs do integrate new system components like kernel, Mesa and so on in a fast manner, but if you look for any non packeged software in current versions, good luck. Ubuntu really really profits from their ppa infrastructures. Those offer a lot more stuff you'll never locate for Fedora.

Try this Fedora version... http://mirror.yandex.ru/fedora/russi...64-27_Beta.iso
The checksum is in the same directory.

This is Fedora outside of American Government Rules, as is Ubuntu. Ergo, RFRFedora 27 comes with many extras as you would expect.

Will it be GNOME 3.26 or GNOME 3.26.1?

3.26.1

micheal I think the default wallpaper has been updated to a better jellyfish experience one
On a side note: phoronix mobile version doesn't offer a quote button in the forum not a top screen link to phoronix homepage (not the forum homepage). Also when starting to type micheal and selecting it from the appearing menu everything else written after is part of the "link" (gets typed in blue). Thanks

The quote button is there but ususally you have to rotate your mobile to cross page.

surely their COPR repo's are just as good as PPAs for the latest and greatest stuff - that and flatpacks will probably negate the need for huge distro specific package archives in the near future

The difference is that there are less people packaging stuff for Fedora. It's really that simple.

Probably a large part of the issue is that COPR wasn't even started until sometime in mid 2013, nearly a decade after Ubuntu and PPAs were available and long after Ubuntu already reached critical mass.

Sometimes I miss "you know who" GTK/gnome/RH crap, once in a while wouldn't hurt
