      For you folks on F27, does your lockscreen & screensaver work?

          Just had an issue with Fedora 27 after an update.

          VMM wouldn't connect to localhost due to some weird error about some data being too large or something.

          Restarted libvirtd service and seems okay now.

          Too much open atm to reboot, so we'll see later if it happens after a reboot.

            While trying to upgrade a 512 MB Vultr VPS, the upgrade was failing on the dnf -y install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade part. After some quick googling, it appeared that since I didn't have a swapfile and only 512mb of memory, the upgrade wasn't going to work.

            I ended up adding a 2GB swapfile and it went off without a hitch.

            I added the swap file like this:

            dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=2,097,152
chown root:root /swapfile1
chmod 0600 /swapfile1
mkswap /swapfile1
swapon /swapfile1

              How often to you upgrade versus fresh install? Fresh install every other release? Any kind of best practice on this?

                I've been upgrading everything the last few versions. Since 24 or 25, never any issues there. Just verify first that all packages are compatible.

                  You can avoid compatibility with packages by using more flatpak apps instead.

                    It's not Windows, there is no real need for fresh installs. That was specifically a Windows issue, not a general operating system guideline.

                      Flatpak is not ready for prime time.

                        I like Snap much better. I've been happy with Snap.

                          Why not?

                          And that's funny that you said prime time.

                          There's a post from Flatpak with prime time in the title.
