I'm not gonna say how I really feel about that comment since I'll probably get warned again :rolleyes: There was a port of the Milk visual style to gnome I think, but that's about it. It's more probable that Mac will put in command lines instead of Linux getting a "lickable GUI", and Mac implementing command lines has a pretty low probability.

maybe it's not the right thread to ask, but

is it possible to run FedoreCore4 on something like VirtualPC inside Windows?

586057879[/snapback]

Yes it's possible. Im running FC3 without any problems in VMware Workstation 5. I will switch to FC4 as soon as i have downloaded the DVD ISO.

I do a custom install, but if you're new to Linux, then doing one of the pre-configured installations would be better.

I'm thinking of doing a full install to avoid dependency problems. That is if this ever finishes.

Thanks for the news, gonna give this a try :)

I would also like some screens before downloading if poss (Y)

Screens? I think it's going to be pretty much like any other updated Linux running Gnome. :unsure:

did anyone have tested yet? ...

I downloaded and installed all three tests and it really wasn't that much different from Fedora Core 3.

... and is better than SUSE 9.3?

586058999[/snapback]

Depends on who you are. If you are new to Linux, Suse 9.3 is great because it is very user friendly.

I haven't used RedHat in a lonnng time, downloading FC4 now. Have they improved RPMs since Redhat 6.1, is there a way to manage (update) all of them?

The RPM system is the same on an individual file level, but they have yum to manage dependencies in the same way that apt-get does for Debian.

thank you mate, I'm using Suse 9.3 in my mother's computer for her because she don't know very well how the computer and the internet works, so SUSE has been very easy for her and is a secure platform practically free of virus that's why I put linux to protect her agains virus and spywares when she is surfing the web. :cool:

Ugh! Bad pun, Knight'!

Yum seems to re-read everything when you issue the command to install/remove/search, and this makes it slower to install than apt-get on my Fedora box.

Plus, if you compare yum on Fedora to apt-get on Debian, you will have several times more packages in the Debian system - though this is not a limitation of yum, nor a better feature of apt-get; this is just testament to the large variety of packages available in the Debian part of *nix-land.

oh man I am so tempted to delete xp and try FC 4

I would recommend dual-booting for someone just coming from Windows. Linux can be a very deep pool, and starting shallow is normally a good idea. (and then you can dump Windows when you get yoru Linux all set up and doing what you need) ;)

Sadly, a lot of users that I've come into contact with that have tried Linux, have jumped right in head first thinking they knew it all--I was one of them, but I held on long enough that I didn't drowned like that others. Dual-booting Windows and Linux is a great idea so that if you do get frustrated you can boot into Windows and come back to what you were doing when you have a fresher mind :yes:

All my HDD are ntfs and with stuff in. That is my major concern, converting all that in linux file system since writing on ntfs is kinda bugy I heard

Well. My intel Pro Wireless 2200 does not work out of the box on my laptop. I honestly do not see why they cant get this going seeing as its one of the most popular for laptops. :(

Everything else is slick.

Agentsmith, same problem i had :no: ... did you find out how to get it working?

How did I get a warning level of 20% :o :pinch: :cry:

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
