Fedora 29 Workstation installation and a first look

Yesterday we announced her official mood of the Fedora 29 distribution. I have been waiting for it for quite some time, and more specifically, since the modularity feature was announced, as well as the automatic updates with the of .Fedora 29 Workstation

So, I passed the ISO to a USB, and I installed the new OS. I made a clean installation, formatting the partition of Fedora 28, because I wanted to see how the installer behaves.

Tip: To upgrade from Fedora 28, you'll have to wait for it to update you that an upgrade is available.

If it does not appear, open the Software (Gnome) application and let the system update its packages. In the end, it will normally show you the upgrade. Click Install to begin the conversion to Fedora 29. When the download is complete you will see a Restart & Install. Restart your system and wait for the installation to complete.

In case you want to upgrade with terminal commands, type one of the following commands:

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
sudo dnf install dnf-plugin--upgrades
sudo dnf system-upgrade download -releasever = 29

With Fresh Install, however, it was much more pleasant and quite short. Installing the software that came with the Live DVD took no more than 5 minutes, while installing the bootloader took another 5. Installing the bootlader on the computer I use is a problem and usually takes incredibly long, as the disc contains 6 different distros and an installation Windows 10 (not to be called biased).

Μετά την πρώτη έκπληξη, περάσαμε άμεσα στην δεύτερη, καθώς ο εγκαταστάτης δεν έδωσε καμία επιλογή για την προσ another user.

After the so a Gnome window appeared allowing me to login as root or create a new user.
Surprises, however, did not stop coming. This version is the first to feature Fedora Modularity. Modularity allows us to transfer different package versions to Fedora that we have installed.

This means that we no longer need to think about OS upgrading just to be able to upgrade some packages. For example, you can select Node.js in 8 or 10, whether you are Fedora 28 or Fedora 29. Or you can choose between a version of Kubernetes that matches OpenShift Origin.

Fedora 29 comes with GNOME Shell 3.30.1 in Wayland, the 4.18 kernel, the GCC 8.2.1 compiler, and the .Org Server στην έκδοση 1.20.1. Μετά την εγκατάσταση ενημέρωσα το σύστημα και πέρασα το KDE as a desktop environment.

Details can be found in the following picture:

Let me say that the system so far behaved perfectly, but I would like to see it at least a week before I give a point of view. The distribution in this version, although intended more for developers, can be used without problems by novice users as well.
