A classic, just stumbled on this:

I think that this thread helped to spark a revolution in Linux desktop usage around here.

Although I'm running Korora Cinnamon and Korora Gnome, Fedora with Gnome I think is the best if you want to keep things simple and have everything a typical introductory user would need, with the least amount of customization is potential issues.
Fedora 25 Gnome Desktop has worked best for me, where everything else has given me troubles out of the box.
I could probably go back to Fedora Gnome on my personal laptop now that I'm just simply not going to really play games on there, but I really like the way Korora flat icons and such look, and the terminal as SAM said. But if I ever do need to reload because I break something, I'm gonna stick on Fedora Gnome.

Does anyone have RSAT running inside WINE on any of these?

I've never seen that. Pretty sure it doesn't work.

I should mention that I'm managing my desktop with Salt from the desktop itself.

I wasn't sure if you were talking only about your personal stuff, or 'stuff you manage'

It really is. There is a full server and GitLab in there too, so a lot of infrastructure for one machine to manage itself.

I don't believe this will ever work. RSAT uses some specific Windows elements that WINE can't/won't emulate for various reasons. On the other hand most Linux admins managing window will either user ps remoting, rdp, or a devops style tool.

Now we need a special thread for the details on this.
