Join The Fedora 29 Linux Community Challenge



The basic premise of the Fedora challenge is simple: ditch Windows, macOS or your current Linux OS of choice and use Fedora for about a month. It's just enough time to start learning its nuances, its unique package manager, and get into a groove where it starts to feel familiar instead of foreign.
The purpose is exposing yourself to something new, and perhaps gaining an appreciation for an OS you may not have chosen otherwise. Along the way people may find their “forever distro” or be inspired to make the switch to Linux full time.
With elementary OS we challenged each other to refrain from customizing or tweaking; to not install any external repositories. Even to avoid the command line if possible. With openSUSE Tumbleweed we threw out the rule book, chose any of the available desktop environments and went way off the leash.
We're going back to basics with Fedora but leaving plenty of wiggle room. As a group we'll be using Fedora Workstation which includes the Gnome Desktop Environment (and apparently a very pure iteration of it). Beyond that, feel free to install extensions, customize your workspace and your desktop, dig into the CLI, find out what FlatPak is all about and make yourself at home.
