Hi, all. I sent this reply to Rich but forgot to include the list.
I am your Test Case par excellence: someone trying to use Fedora who is not
terribly technical. Can Linux be used by people for whom it is really a
challenge, even things that to technical people are obvious? Here is a

it is now in a text editor.
It is full of instructions that assume a greater level of technical
knowledge than I have.

At a previous InstallFest, someone was mentioned to me who knows how to
repair broken laptop screens. I can't find where I scribbled down his name.
(Shoulda used Google Docs but used paper; when will I learn.)
Does anyone know who that might be? Thanks.

When I plug in my external disk drive into my Fedora 28 machine, it does
not show up in Nautilus.
I go looking online, and, sure enough, this problem has occurred for plenty
of people for 5+ years over many releases of Fedora.

I'm used to Confluence, where I would find a Create button that would let

I am accustomed to using the US-international keyboard on my Windows
systems. I'd like to use it in Fedora 28, too, so I don't have to learn
alternate keyboard layouts.
It is not listed, at least not by the name I'm used to, in the
Settings/Region & Language list of keyboard layouts.
Hear, hear! Thank you for your hospitality!

Hello, all.
I am new to Fedora (v. 28) and need to install a font. (I actually never
tried to add a font in Ubuntu, either, in the past.)
I've looked at the Fedora Fonts directory, but I see a listing of icons
instead of font filenames. I don't know what kind of fonts Fedora uses.

Hi, all.
I have just switched from Ubuntu to Fedora. In Ubuntu, I used Recoll. The
Recoll web page says it is standard in Fedora, but when I search for it I
can't find it. Is the Recoll page incorrect? Or is some other tool bundled
with Fedora and I just need to learn what it is?
I don't care if

experience that docx files that I've modified in LibreOffice are, if

I have Ubuntu 16.04. I would like to maintain a calendar that produces
