      Had to switch back to Cinnamon from Deepin - dock issues!

      I am giving Gnome (the default) a go. Been a few weeks now on my laptop.

      A couple of Gnome plugins related to the status bar and I’m good to go.

      I’ve worked out the only major issue I found so far. Which was really not major. Just Flameshot would not work right.

      My experience with Flameshot on Gnome is that it works great after installing the Kstatusnotifieritem/appindicator support plugin and if you use Xorg instead Wayland display server.

        I thought you've always been a Cinnamon guy!
        I guess I can always check out Gnome, doesn't hurt!

        I would suggest trying out Pop!OS when it comes GNOME3, Fedora is pretty close to vanilla version GNOME3.

          I feel your pain with Flameshot, but I've got to where I just use the built-in screenshot utility for Gnome.

            I need the built in editing options. I do a lot of markup as I screenshot.

              As long as you switch to Xorg it works fine. I do not use any plugin. I just make a hotkey with the command flameshot gui

                I liked Cinnamon the most of the spins when I first tested out Fedora.

                Because of that I started with Korora.

                But the current Gnome is clean, and with two plugins it works well for me.

                  Which two plugins make it work well for you?

                      Is there a reason for the Fedora preference?

                      s it more stable than CentOS, Debian, or Ubuntu?

                      Do you use it mixed with other OS's as to what each situation calls for?

                            The RHEL ecosystem has always been my preferred ecosystem.

                            Long before there was ever an Ubuntu. Also Ubuntu sucks.

                            If I am required to use Ubuntu by some application, I will attempt to use Debian instead.

                                The added complexity of Debian is my main one. I used to be annoyed by their hang-up on always having to type sudo for anything that needed root access, but Ansilble, Salt, etc have really made that a thing of the past.

                                    For Desktops, I preferred Fedora (The best Vanilla GNOME3 experience for me) and then Ubuntu/Pop!OS.

                                    For servers, I preferred Fedora over CentOS because it’s easier to keep up with latest packages and to upgrade the OS with minimal impact of packages breaking.

                                    I preferred Fedora over Ubuntu/Debian because I’m more comfortable with it. But I will use Ubuntu or Debian if I need to.

                                    Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, and Debian have been pretty stable for me. It usually the combinations of packages, repo and upgrades that sometimes cause stability issues.

                                          It is, but Canonical will fire you for using it. Never sat well with me.
