RHEL8 is still a long ways off, and none of that has been decided yet 
AFAIK.


Thanks!!  That explains why I was not finding any info.

Hi,

I've done some searching and am finding nothing on RHEL 8.  Anyone know

Re: RHEL 8

[Brian Cluff]

Those 2 things are both still there.

For the menu selection, it has been moved slightly to a better location. 
 You now right click on the K icon and select "Alternatives" and then 
you are given a list of ALL the menu alternatives that exist.  The 
"Alternatives" selection seems to be a configuration design that they 
have carried across everything that can or does have multiple options. 
It should make less obvious options noticeable to more people.


For the desktop, they have combined all the different desktop types into 
a single versatile desktop.  So to get a classic desktop with icons on 
it, go to the "Wallpaper" tab under the desktop settings and change it 
from "Desktop" to "Folderview".  I have noticed that the folder view 
specific setting don't appear in the desktop settings area until you 
exit out of the desktop settings and then go back in.

Well, for one, I dislike the tabbed menu KDE has by default, so I usually
do a right click and "Classic Menu Style". Student said that was gone (I
haven't tried out 15  yet). Also that you can't easily set the desktop to

Re: RHEL 8

Yes, and the UNITY thing on Ubuntu also beat windows 8 to the punch.  That
was when I switched to Kubuntu.  I've had a student testing kubuntu 15 and
it looks like the customizations I normally do to KDE have been disabled
(or hidden) in KDE 5may start looking at Mint or something else.
I wish these UI/UX folks would realize that removing choices drives people
away. I don't care if you use defaults that I don't like, that's OK. The
average user may like those defaults better, again, I'm fine with that. But
don't remove my ability to alter the desktop the way that works best for my
workflow.

Re: RHEL 8

[Nathan England]

I long ago built a fedora-fast-insstall.sh script that sets up 
everything exactly the way I like it.


I don't like Gnome 3 or gnome-shell. It reminds me a lot of OSX and it 
does have some nice parts that I do really like, but as an every day 
system to use (which I use both personally and for work on my work 
machines) I just can't stand it.


I'll stick with Xfce for now and KDE.

Re: RHEL 8

[Nathan England]

I would be more concerned with how long Drupal 7 will be supported as it 
works fine on CentOS 7, which will be supported for quite some time.


Maybe I'm a little too conservative in my use of new technology, but 
Drupal 8 won't interest me for a while after it has been released.

Ubuntu 14.04 barely meets the requirements for for Drupal 8.  Drupal 8
is not in production yet, however is supposed to be soon...  I figure
when Drupal 8 is a couple years old I might want to migrate.

So maybe Ubuntu 14.04lts / Drupal 7 for now and Ubuntu 16.xx lts /
Drupal 8 in  2 or 3 years.

If you are itching for RHEL8 - get your fix with Fedora - 23 is due 
soon.

The last two releases where about 3 1/2 years apart.  I'm guessing

around the first part of 2018.

A quick search produced little insight.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!

Re: RHEL 8

[Nathan England]

 

I really wish they would give a little more love to their KDE spin. I'm
not at all a fan of Gnome. I just don't like it. I have tried multiple
times at length. I develop across 3 screens all horizontally aligned and
with KDE it works great and Gnome it is just not an enjoyable
experience. 

But KDE has enough problems to finally push me over my limit. A few
weeks ago I installed Xfce and have been using that. I like it a lot,
but there are a few things that get my goat. I really miss my KDE.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

RHEL 8

[Keith Smith]

Hi,

I was looking around for some info for when RHEL 8 might come on the 
scene.  The last two releases where about 3 1/2 years apart.  I'm 
guessing maybe around the first part of 2018.


A quick search produced little insight.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!
