Gnome will automatically configure Evolution, Empathy, Contact and similar services when a user adds any online account such as Gmail.īeing a Plasma user I have almost given up on KDE’s personal information manager which can be extremely hard to configure. That’s another area where Fedora and Gnome excel over other desktop environments. When you boot into Fedora one of the welcome screens asks you to connect to the online services like Google, Facebook or ownCloud. ![]() You can easily install any desired application just by searching for it in Dash or using the command line.

Fedora is a great operating system to give a glimpse of the latest Gnome technologies.īeing a Linux user since 2005 I wish there was more consistency in regards to software managers. Gnome is the default desktop environment for Fedora not surprising because Red Hat/Fedora are the largest contributors to the project. So far I have been impressed with it and find it one of the finest Fedora releases. Since I am using it for my desktop I downloaded and installed the Workstation. There are now three editions of Fedora: server, workstation and cloud. It’s also known for working with upstream projects instead of patching things downstream.įedora displays both qualities due to the fact that Fedora/Red Hat developers are among the leading contributors to many major open source projects, including the Linux kernel they work for everyone and not just for their own distribution.įedora 21 has just been released and I have been playing with the beta for a while.
