GNOME is the desktop environment that gets the most direct work in Fedora, but the communities around our other desktop environments put in great work as well. I think this is mostly a matter of personal preference. > What are some packages that are the most risky to update ? systemd ? > mesa ? kernel ? Well, what risk are you worried about? It's certainly the case that a kernel update has the most chance of something catastrophic (hardware support issue, or even machine failing to boot), but on the other hand, since so many people look at the Linux kernel and since that project has a strict policy against user-breaking changes, the _frequency_ of such events is really low. On the other hand, the consequences of updating something like Inkscape are low in terms of potential impact -- but it's possibly an update might change a feature or something that the developers felt to be minor but is crucial to you. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
