Fedora 19
Post date: Aug 6, 2013 8:58:03 AM
Upgraded PC from a perfectly-working Fedora 17. Never touch a system that works well. Your mileage may vary.
What I got
gcc 4.8
What I lost
wake on lan no longer works
hours bc. the kernel was not upgraded 17 -> 19 at first
hours to make the nvidia installer work & dracut it *
CRT forcibly the primary monitor in twinview (at least until mate starts) *
gnome 3 is like unity: slow, ugly & newbie-oriented.
menus got stuck in gnome classic *
firefox crashed on print preview dialog *
latest kernels require patching nvidia's drivers *
had to install and tweak the mate environment
matlab's cwd dropdown menus slightly unusable
gvfs smb randomly hangs
gvfs smb has a new wine-incompatible naming scheme
* - possibly nvidia-related
