I noticed that too. I wonder when it’s released the default template when using KVM will be virtio?

Time to "upgrade" my main desktop machine to F27 Beta...

After rebooting, there was another large update.
Upgrade is all done.
Process was smooth & easy.

Switching to Gnome, I get v3.26.1

Fedora is the most stable distro with halfway recent software on the repositories (I'm looking at you RedHat/CentOS and php5.4). Who wants adventures and broken software?

I've found that with Fedora it can be better to stay two or so releases behind if you care about software working (i'm talking Fedora Desktop, not server).
If you can live without that software, then the latest release is great.
If you like living on the edge and it's not your main Laptop/Workstation, then Beta is great.
I tend to keep current release on my Desktop, and beta on my Laptop. Once I get rid of my Desktop and only have a laptop, I'm going to stick to current release a month after release.

That's cheating...that doesn't count!
