something to take into account when developing fedora 19 and 20...
not in a virtual machine.. but a live session from usb/cd/ram gives you an accurate image of how the OS will run on your laptop.
I suppose many people, me included, lack the interest of actually installing the alpha but just want to run it to see how it's developing
... and since we are making suggestions:.
fedora lxde feels at home in schools and ngo's, small businesses, etc...
basically people with old hardware that just want a clean and functional secure OS
now I have to say that, out of all the lxde distros, fedora is the ugliest most amateurish looking one... because of the themes it chose.
I know red hat doesn't care about aesthetics or looks but like in liberte you can switch to NOX theme in knoppix you can switch to redmond, lubuntu looks ace, etc...
in fedora all themes are ugly... you have to go to rpmfusion and look for gtk2 themes and then try to find the openbox obt on google ...
you should have at least 2 or 3 decent themes to pick from like in other distros
I will post here the lxde theme files of what I consider the best looking ones if anyone is interestedLast edited by Pallidus; 18 November 2012, 07:03 AM.

sorry I really don't like it
the window borders (openbox theme) doesn't really match and the icons just seem too fat and big.
A theme should look clean and professional.
here's an example
anyways the best themes for lxde (in case the red hat people want to include them):
Zuki blues gtk2+obt
Nox + euphoria (gtk2+obt)
redmond
and there are others but since I doubt they will be included so...Last edited by Pallidus; 22 November 2012, 12:37 PM.

The icons being big are a deliberate consideration for my mother. The Faenza theme I picked as I find the square icons to fit best with LXDE's panel positioning (which is still a little off in my opinion, but much better than it was six months ago) and because it gives a very consistent icon set (again, a consideration for my mother).

yep that one does look much better.
I believe the default theme should always look clean and polished, as professional as possible.
I'm running the fedora beta candidate
3.6.6-3.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Nov 5 16:26:34 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
but I chose gnome instead of lxde and guess what
the brightness adjustment works fine under gnome
and it hasn't crashed once
so... they either improved it a lot or maybe it was my choice of running lxde that was fucking things up.
anyways good job, as much as I don't like gnome3 I can't really stay away from fedora
