Fedora 20 "Heisenbug" KDE Review: With KDE 4.11.4 & kernel 3.12 now, bleeding edge but stable!




Honestly
when I started using Linux back in 2009, I didn't like Fedora much.
Ubuntu was my choice for being easy, fast and efficient. However, as I

This year January, I reviewed the 2013.1 update from Fuduntu and was extremely impressed by it.

How to customize and decorate Ubuntu desktop? Simple steps to customize Linux Desktop: Give your Fedora or Ubuntu a face-lift!


As I have been saying in my last
few articles, Linux desktops like Gnome, KDE, LXDE, XFCE, etc. (except
Unity) can be customized - so much that even at times it becomes
difficult to identify what desktop environment (DE) actually it is! I do
some very basic level customization to give a face lift to
otherwise bland DEs like LXDE, XFCE, Openbox, etc. and in this article
