So much for installing a dual boot Mint 18.3 I was about to perform. At work I use FC28 with KDE, mainly for bleeding edge, and for libre'ness. At home I want something that has better media support. I'm not a fan of Gnome, and I've been unable to comprehend Unity (haven't tried that hard TBH). Maybe this needs to go into a new thread....
