I heard a vicious rumor that Red Hat uses Fedora Linux as their managed Linux desktop for employee laptops. I bet the person in charge of managing that probably has a few screws loose. ;) For what it’s worth, Lenovo’s certification for Fedora on their supported thinkpads has a requirement for certain power saving features, so it is a real thing. -- Jonathan Billings -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
