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 configur

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 "folder view" either. If those are true, that's not a good sign for the rest

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 wo

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!!
