What does this do that my normal desktop does not? Or is this for people not on Cinnamon who wish that they had chosen Cinnamon?
If they wish that they had chosen cinnamon, then just install cinnamon.

That's cool.
I haven't tried it but launcher would look weird on GNOME 3.
GNOME 3 search is pretty good already and can do some of what that does.
Now I would definitely use in Desktop Environments like XFCE. -

I do like the ability to go to file paths or emojis, but in all actuality is it really that practical when you can open File Manager with a keyboard shortcut?

Not as smooth as ulauncher but we can use alt+f2 and then type the path to have Nautilus open to that path.

YOu dont have 7zip in Linux, so you use Peazip cause you can get it for Fedora

My Fedora has 7zip.
sudo dnf install p7zipTa da
-
If you just want 7zip compression on Linux, that's actually the LZMA algorithm. Nearly all Linux has this natively. 7zip is the front end, not the compression. You only need it on Windows because Windows lacks LZMA natively, but Fedora has it.
So if all you want is 7zip functionality on Fedora, you don't need p7zip, either. You don't need anything. Open your file manager, right click on a file, choose compress. When selecting the file type, choose .xz instead of .tar.gz and ta da, 7zip compression without anything extra to install.
-
And the xz command will do this from the command line, if you don't have a GUI or want to do it from the GUI.
It's built into the tar command, too, if you want to use it that way.

I usually install Fedy which covers most of the 3rd party stuff, fonts, etc. Then I also install openvpn and openconnect xfreerdp and terminator.

I'm tentatively moving into my replacement daily driver - a Fedora Cinnamon Spin flavoured PC. ScreenConnect was problematic until I found @JaredBusch 's post "How to run JNLP files on Fedora Cinnamon with Firefox"
Any love for Flatpak or are most sticking with the native DNF + repos?

Flatpak is not ready for prime time yet.
Maybe they will have it more ready for Fedora 30.
Fedora SilverBlue uses that as the only package manager I believe.

I tried them but ended using snaps, wanted to install slack and had some issues under LXqt only snap behaved well.
Also this COPR addons are interesting:

@Emad-R COPR feels a bit like attempts to emulate Ubuntu's use of 3rd party repos? I've seen some interesting projects mentioned in Fedora Magazine
Thanks for the heads-up @JaredBusch , I'll watch that space. I do appreciate the input from everyone actually using and testing this stuff.

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/I do not understand COPR. Most people that can build an
rpmwill just do so and host it. I mean I don't browse the repo list looking for software to install. I hear about it here or elsewhere and then go to the vendor website and follow their install guide.If said vendor is going to make a
rpm, they can just host it themselves and tell people todnf install https://some.urlThen they can look at getting in to the Fedora repos directly.
Or if there are some non-free sub components, they can get in the RPM Fusion repos.
