        I saw that fedora desktop could be installed by dnf. Could I go from Korora to Fedora by dnf or do I have to download a new image to USB, format, and start all over?

          What's "Fedora Desktop"?

          Korora is a different OS, as @gjacobse learned when he tried to follow Fedora update processes on Korora. DNF is a package installer, as Fedora and Korora aren't packages but different (but closely related) operating systems, I don't know of any reasonable way to convert from one to another. There might be some theoretical possibility there, but it would be absurdly complex.

            I decided to start over & did a clean fedora 26 install.
            Got tired of waiting for these guys to update Korora 25.

              Sorry. Didn't mean to equate it to Cinnamon or anything like that. Just considering going from Korora to pure Fedora on this laptop.

                Just switched to fedora and installed KVM. What is the deal with Boxes? Is it "enterprise"-worthy to learn?

                  Boxes is just a silly thing for using KVM on the desktop for a VirtualBox style replacement. I've not seen any value to it.

                    It does some kind of remote system control too according to what they say but I've never used it.

                      Boxes is for the simple minded users. And it only allow allow creation of VMs under Qemu/KVM User Session.

                        A little late to the party, but I've finally settled on Korora as my distro of choice on my home laptop. Linux newbie here so I went with Mint initially as it preached stability and was most popular. It was good, but I wanted more. Love the cinnamon interface of Korora with the base of Fedora. Looking forward to running it for a while and seeing how stable it is in the long run.

                          I switched my laptop to straight Fedora with the Cinnamon Desktop Experience, has been really solid. Not ready to switch my desktop yet from Korora.

                            Latest kernel broke my laptop. Switched to Fedora 26 with GNOME. Smooth sailing since then.

                              I’ll be doing the same.

                                How is the feedback of Cinnamon on vanilla Fedora? Anything lacking of note?

                                  I've really been enjoying it. Nothing really missing as far as I know. Updates are about a daily occurence.

                                    Works great for me so far.

                                    I'd really like to find a good dock that will be present on all my 3 monitors.

                                      Using Korora Cinnamon on my desktop and Fedora Cinnamon on my laptop, the differences are minor. Functionality is pretty much the same. Few extra packages on Korora and such.

                                        Where I've been using Fedora Desktop, I've been using Cinnamon. I don't have Korora running on anything anymore, and I never ran them both at the same time on different devices. So I haven't gotten as good of a real comparison as you have.

                                        I just know that I prefer straight Fedora because it seems to be more smooth/reliable/stable on more devices. But on devices in which Korora runs with zero issues, it feels great, making me lean towards Korora. I don't know, I still think straight Fedora is the way I'm going to continue, even after Korora 26.

                                        How do you feel about them seeing that you have them going at the same time?

                                          The release of Korora 26 is announced on the main website.

                                            I dropped back to Ubuntu - It was a stability and other issues that pulled me from Korora and Deepin.

                                            Korora had stability issues with a few applications I used...Pithos would stop playing.. no reason that I could tell. The two or three Ham Radio related applications seemed to run okay

                                            Deepin had even more stability issues it seems in that when I had the HF Radio on, and the CAT (controls the radio) and USB audio device (converts the audio to digitaland digital to audio) connected it would cycle the radio transmit at a high rate when you changed the volume off the computer. Not good for the radio.... very not good.

                                            With this - I can't use either. I could try Fedora... but currently Ubuntu is working decently... so I don't see a need to switch right now...
