While minimising them isn’t a problem (Windows+down arrow), and neither was snapping them to the screen edges (Windows+left or right arrow), the absent minimise and maximise buttons could leave switchers wanting. The fix was the same as it had been elsewhere: to implement a script that unloaded the touchpad driver on sleep and reinitiated it on wake.įedora was in a minority of distros that sported only close buttons on window title bars. It also handled our laptop’s sleep-wake cycle better than many of its rivals: while most locked off the touchpad when we closed and reopened the lid, Fedora only lost its two-finger scroll function, but still let us drag the pointer with a single digit. The live system picked up our Wi-Fi hardware, allowing us to connect to our wireless network pre-installation, and the settings carried through to the version set up on the hard drive. (Fedora’s typical release cycle lasts six months, with only the two latest releases supported, so each installation is “current” for around 13 months, giving one month’s grace for slow upgraders to get themselves up to date.) We’d expect this build to be supported until around November this year, by which point Fedora 33 should be ready for download. We opted for the first, Workstation release 31, and installed it from a live image. Fedora is the freely distributable offshoot of Red Hat, offering versions for standalone computers, servers, cloud computing, containers and IoT devices.
