@David, wish you great success here. Yes, I for one would like to see the
fedora implementation video, too.

I have been using Fedora Rawhide as my only operating systemfor over a year.
I love it.
My teenager is attending school this semester 100% online and they are100% on
their own to do all their studies, as my wife and I are not ableto be there to
help. The stress of all that is overwhelming.
Due to various logistics, I just had to buy her a computer, andafter careful
pondering, I purchased the ACER 24 inchAll-in-One Chrome-based computer. I
am extremely impressed withthis device ( but it is $ 600 ). My only regret
now is not getting a more powerful one. Why is that you may ask, as Chrome
OS is fairly lightweight ?
Running GNU/Linux on this computer is a breeze. Based on my firstimpression,
this implementation of Linux just may be the futureof mainstream desktop Linux.
The Linux that is installed is "Debian 10 Buster." I do not know much
aboutDebian. But the integration of the apps with Chrome was amazing.
Anyonefamiliar with Gnome 3, can figure this implementation out.
In the present form of this implementation of Linux, a person would eitherhave
to already know some Linux, or have a tutor or someone sit down with themand
show them what all the hoopla is about.
This purchase may just be the best investment that I ever made.
Only downside so far, is that certain apps may be limited in function. For
example,I could not change the tiles in the game "gnome-mahjongg."
I do not yet know enough about this implementation to do everything I want to
do, butit looks like I will be able to figure it out. You have to know
Debian command line andunderstand the exact names of the programs in their
repository to install them.
Here is a basic summary of how to get started. 1 ) In the Settings
Menu is a icon of cute fat penquin that says "Linux Beta." Click install
and wait a few minutes depending on your internet speed. This
machine has ethernet.
2 ) a linux terminal pops up, and you can make it full-screen.
the command line will be:
name@penguin:~$
3 ) sudo work out of the box ( and with no password ). so,
type "sudo apt-get install gnome-mahjonng aisleriot
libreoffice-writer" would install those three programs
you can launch them from terminal or go to the graphical launcher and there
will be an icon for Linux apps.
I now have a whole lot of new fun stuff to learn, like how to run Fedora
Rawhide on a ChromeOS computer.Supposedly there will be a way to load it from a
USB flash-drive.
I will try to make a video someday on YouTube about all this.
