I have a new Thinkpad P52s running Fedora 28, I'm seeing numerous startup, shutdown and lockup issues.  It is useable but sometimes I have to boot 4 or 5 times before I can continue without a lockup. Also it almost never powers down before it locks up with a CPU hard lockup Some of the messag

boot menu does not see Windows after Fedora 27 Install

All; I just installed Fedora 27 on a server with 2 internal hard drives. Windows was already installed on the first hard drive, I added a second internal hard drive and installed Fedora on the second drive only. However there is no option to boot into windows when the boot screen comes up.

Hi All; I'll try and answer all the questions: Why are you expecting stability when the host OS you are using is betaware? Use CentOS as your host OS and you might get better results. I use Fedora for the eye-candy, and the fact that the stuff I most often use just works. I understand that it'

VMware Workstation vs KVM

Hi All; I'm running Fedora 25 on a laptop with 16GB of ram. I'm frustrated with the VMware workstation reliably breaking every 2 to 3 kernel updates and sometimes with no reasonable fix in sight for some time. Not the end of the world and I get the reasons behind it, however I wonder if KVM m
