The Fedora Linux 18 code named "Spherical Cow" has been officially launched as early as the end of January. However, since its release, the Red Hat-Supported Release has always been the focus of news media attention. There are many reasons, not all of which are a good word.

First, the news came out: the Fedora Linux project is considering abandoning the MySQL database management system (DBMS ).

"We wanted to replace MySQL with MariaDB in the early development phase of Fedora 19," said Jaroslav Reznik, a developer. "

Since changes to Fedora often occur later in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), these changes may have a major impact in the future, especially for companies.

"Worst Red Hat release"

Later, Alan Cox, a former Red Hat kernel developer, came to the fore, and said, "Fedora 18 seems to be the worst Red Hat release I have ever seen. "

On the same day, Cox retired from Intel, the former company, and left the Linux circle, at least temporarily.

Last but not least, it is certainly the most exciting thing for some people. It is reported that the Fedora Linux project is currently considering making Cinnamon, instead of making the controversial GNOME 3 the default desktop in Fedora 19.

"Familiar"

The feature proposal pointed out on the ora Linux project wiki: "Cinnamon provides a desktop interface that is more familiar to Windows and GNOME 2 users than the standard GNOME Shell Interface, at the same time, it is built with the GNOME 3 component. "

Cinnamon is currently provided to Fedora 18 users, but it is not the default desktop. If it is finally adopted as the default desktop, we will be particularly concerned with the transformation to Cinnamon, considering the recent recovery of classic Linux desktop in recent months.

Although GNOME 3, Unity of Ubuntu, and Modern UI of Windows 8 actively pursue the Mobile mode in terms of appearance, there are always a number of seemingly endless solutions that stick to traditional ideas, not only Cinnamon, but also MATE, SolusOS and its new Consort desktop, Fuduntu, GNOME Classic and more.

Of course, it's hard to draw conclusions now. However, if cinora chooses Cinnamon as its default desktop environment, it is bound to vote against the Mobile mode of the PC desktop that has not been extinct.
