That probably means that it's not rose gold aluminium unibody.

...or also because it has a removable battery, a trackpoint and multimedia keys, video and ethernet ports and a docking adapter, and venting to run with the cover closed without overheating.

#93This is incredible. I had written a comment on the original thread on why I had moved to fedora after 14 years of using Ubuntu and this post confirms that I made the right choice. For some unkNown reason, Fedora is considered "bleeding edge" and unstable..While Ubuntu is considered mainstream. The truth is that fedora is probably the most polished Linux distribution out there right now..Including a brilliant UI exper…
I can report my non-stop 21 years usage of redhat based distributions ( well, along other Unices ). Never was I left down. Fedora from 24-25 version is so polished, I can't believe myself when all the hardware works just as expected and the screen is such a beauty. Edit: I have to mention that I am also a diehard KDE fan. Plasma 5.8 is just amazing.
A few questions:
- Is KDE a first-class citizen in Fedora-land? Everything I see about Fedora seems to focus on Gnome as the one-true-desktop
- How's the battery/power situation? I've seen some reviews find fault with battery performance under Fedora 25 as being worse than before (supposedly because of Wayland)

#94I'm using Fedora again as my desktop after some years on OS X. Things that I'd like to see: * A better email app. Currently none can be said to work very well. I'm actually considering mutt at this point * A better Gnome Calendar. I think this is coming in the next release. * A PDF viewer that supports highlighting.
For points one and two, have you tried Thunderbird with the Lightning extension?
Unfortunately I think it's still the best we've got in terms of fully-featured email clients on Linux.

#95I can't believe that it's 2017 and bad battery life is still a thing.

Email app - have a look at Geary. Simple, looks good, works.
Thanks, I had some HiDPI trouble when I tried it previously but apparently I misconfigured some fonts so it works now. Pretty close to what I'm looking for. It's a shame that it hasn't seen that much work.

Seems just fine with TLP

Yes, but unfortunately I can't stomach how bad Thunderbird and Lightning look.

#99If you are reading this: I installed Fedora recently because I wanted to try it and I found the partitioning process to be absurdly complicated, compared to that of Debian or Ubuntu (ubiquity). I have several partitions of several operating systems in this disk and I was hesitant to continue because it wasn't very clear what the partitioner was about to do with my disk. Unfortunately that was months ago so I can't re…
The partitioner would be absolutely fine were the system i was using intended to be a single OS machine. but mine isn't.
My issues with it are from a HCI perspective;
- the Done button is context sensitive which is rubbish.
- Select Automatically Configure Partitioning and it will go back to the Installation summary
- Select "I Will configure Partitioning" it will go into the partitioner.
- The Available space is across all disks not on a per disk basis.
- It's not immediately clear whether the plus or minus buttons in the partitioner will create partitions, delete partitions, or adding them to the installation selection.

#100Last time I tried Fedora after using Ubuntu, the minimize/maximize button was missing on windows.
Turns out gnome team decided to remove it and Fedora does not restore the setting while Ubuntu does.
This might seem childish but the fact that I had to make a change to the interface as a first step just after installation completely turned me off from the distribution.
