Hi,
I will appreciate it if someone can help me understand the differences
between CentOS 7.x and CentOS 8.x OS. I look forward to hearing
from you
and thanks in advance.
In short, CentOS 7.x is based on Fedora 19 while CentOS 8 is based on
Fedora 28. Most of what is in those Fedora's is also in coresponding
CentOS version. Fedora's might be much easier to compare.

This sort of cuts across two discussion threads but I found this one
first. Silly question: has anyone tried using the Mate or Xfce
Fedora 28 spins as package sources with CentOS 8?
I think someone did post recently that he took Mate from F28
and with some judicious tweaking of the spec file got it built
and working on C8. Sorry, I have no details.
Hopefully, the perpetrator will 'fess up and provide the details.
Cheers,
Dave

Here is what I did to have working MATE from Fedora 28 repositories (did
not recompile anything):

Thanks! Since I'm an Xfce type, I'll go that route first. I'm thinking
that the same process has a good chance of working as long as the
dependencies are the right version. I'll post steps of road blocks.
BTW, I tend to be more the Inspector Clouseau type!
Cheers,
Dave
