That policy is not new. It has been like that for years, and before that the lifetime was even shorter. > If you agree but need to first alleviate current burdens, then I suggest > revamping your management of spins.

Why did installing from Cinnamon fail whereas installing Cinnamon after installing Fedora worked? If it was a driver issue fixed in an update, then you should simply install from the latest respin of the Cinnamon Spin, including all the updates: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/live-respins/ The fact that your GPU is an onboard IGP is irrelevant. Driver issues can happen with IGPs and with dedicated GPUs just alike. > I see _no_ _reason_ why the Fedora development community can't _replace_ > ALL OF ITS SPINS with user installation documents (instructions) the > appropriate messages in the gui presented to the user at the end of the > installation process. Why would I want to install the whole GNOME that I don't use just to be able to install the desktop environment I actually use after the fact? That just does not make any sense whatsoever. > Fedora's End-Of-Life policy be _changed_ from 13 months to 37 months. Fedora never had such a long lifetime, and it is just not practical. It would mean supporting 7 releases at once!
