I changed to this on my laptop as a result of the same article. I like Spinfinity better, I think it better reflects that I'm running Fedora. In some sense it's not even comparable to Charge which doesn't even use the word Fedora, rather only very briefly at the tail end does the Fedora logo appear. Changing to Spinfinity seems like a really minimal effort and uncontroversial change to get a lot of bang in branding. One odd "problem" though is that getting this theme seems rather non-deterministic. Sometimes it appears. Sometimes it doesn't. I have no idea why. I know it's baked into the initramfs, but I'm always picking the same boot entry in GRUB with the same boot params. I'm gonna guess it's some kind of race, due in part to boot times being so short on this laptop, plymouth starts at 1.4s into boot. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
