I’ve tried a half-dozen music-manager/podcast manager apps, and none of them in Windows can do a damn thing half well. What do I miss most not running Linux? Easy, usable FTP via the file manager and text editors (I can’t believe this is so f’d up in Windows8), and easy management of my old, old iPod, which I’m shocked is pretty much impossible to do in Windows without iTunes. This is the first time I’ve used the Yum Extender for package management, and it’s a terrific, exceedingly quick tool. It just hasn’t happened yet.īut I can say right now that Fedora 18 is good enough, configurable enough with proprietary bits, and stable enough for my daily use. Eventually Linux, X, radeon and catalyst will catch up to this HD 7000-series video chip. The new kernel I tried from Fedora’s Koji service didn’t help. That’s bad because I’m a huge user of suspend/resume. The laptop does go into suspend, but there’s no waking it (i.e. Unity is workable but has artifacts (though there was some improvement in the final release of Ubuntu 13.04 that I saw with live media).Īnd what all of these systems have in common - Ubuntu and Fedora included - is that suspend doesn’t work. The 2D video in Xfce runs with no problem. The only problem with this laptop and its new AMD APU (CPU plus graphics) is video. I also found a new kernel and installed it (you’ll see why below). In addition to Skype, things I also added to Fedora 18 without incident included the RPM Fusion repositories, the Adobe Flash browser plugin, gPodder and Xchat. Like Xubuntu 13.04, overall sound levels are fine once volume is upped via the Pulse Audio Volume Control. Yep, I already installed Skype in Fedora.

I’m using full disk encryption and working on a separate hard drive (not the Windows 8 drive that shipped with the laptop).Īlso unlike Xubuntu 13.04, I had no trouble with sound in Skype. Unlike Xubuntu 13.04, Fedora 18 WILL run under Secure Boot after installation. Just a quick post to tell you that my Fedora 18 with Xfce installation on the HP Pavilion g6-2210us is doing very well indeed.
