Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

so today I decided to upgrade to fedora 21 because I didn't have anything better to do... my packages were up to date so I ran fedup. it took loving forever. I didn't time it but the process may have taken more than 8 hours.

finally I started my newly upgraded os aaaand... it was super lovely. every time after logging in (took forever) there would be a message about a problem with the kernel. the whole system was unbearably slow

then I felt an almost deja-vu thing and decided to run yum update and I guess it solved my problems.


my impressions so far:

- fedora 21's default wallpaper is kind of bad. I never changed the fedora 20 wallpaper because it was nice but now I feel compelled to change this turd.

- I like how the terminal's window border is dark now

- it does feel a little faster and I appreciate it a lot :toot:

- before updating it seemed like gnome3 took away my 2/3 custom keyboard shortcuts but now after the yum update they're back. huh

totally unexpected op

I installed gnome 3 on a somewhat marginal laptop with 600px of vertical resolution, and tried to change some things with the tweak tool. But the dialog box scrolls off screen. Is there a way to set a virtual desktop larger than the screen or something? I'm not seeing any way to make it so I can actually read the entire dialog box. I see there's a zoom feature but no way to zoom out less than 1:1.

GNOME doesn't support officially resolutions less than 1024x768 because it's not 2004. If you want to move the dialog you can hold the Windows key and drag with the mouse.

Man it's an older, cheap laptop but it's an hp mini from 2010, it's not that old. Knowing how to move around the window should hopefully be sufficient though, thanks

Having shortcut keys to zoom in or out of the desktop built-in would be super nice though, especially for the visually impaired.

There were people out there that were upset when the kernel dropped 386 support. I guarantee you some miserly sperglord is posting to Debian users from a Pentium pro with maxed out ram.
