Fedora 26 was very solid and usable right from the release of the Alpha. Unfortunately, the previous 2-3 releases did not become usable until the Beta or even the Release Candidates, but I have found this to be very atypical of Fedora. I am glad that the quality control is back to where it has been in the past. In fact, I read that for Fedora 27, there will no longer be an Alpha, as Quality will be maintained throughout. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
