Full support UTF-8

In the process of using the Linux desktop operating system, it is necessary to face a variety of Chinese display problems, a good solution to the problem of garbled and multi-language Linux desktop operating system is to use a unified character set on Linux, such as UTF-8. Now, the ora Linux desktop operating system is officially implemented. This should be the biggest new feature of the Fedora change.

In Fedora, many software have set the UTF-8 as the default character set, such as Kate, kwrite, Konsole and so on. All file names or directory names that are stored in the ext3 file partition use UTF-8 characters. For China, Japan, Korea and other system default encoding are also changed to UTF-8. It can be said that the full support of UTF-8 in Fedora.

Of course, this big change also brings about some problems. I used Red Hat9.0 to store a large number of files with Chinese names on the ext3 partition of the hard disk. After this partition is mounted to Fedora, the file name is invalid, and cannot be operated at all. At this time, you need to convert these other encoding methods (such as: GB18030, GB2313, etc.) file name or directory name into the UTF-8 format. Fedora does not consider this and does not provide a friendly Conversion Tool. Fortunately, there are at least two command line commands you can try: fribidi and iconv. But be careful, sometimes this conversion is irreversible.

Although Fedora Linux Desktop OS fully supports UTF-8 also brings about some new problems, there is also a habit of the problem, not all people like to use UTF-8 encoding. However, the first step of the ora Linux desktop operating system is a good start.

Prospect of Fedora

Red Hat gave up the Linux desktop operating system, which is indeed a little frustrating, but with the commercial benefits, the Fedora Linux desktop operating system may be closer to users.

Although RedHat exited, its contribution was memorable. Fedora follows the RedHat technology and even style. If it remains open and innovative, it will still attract a large number of users. At present, the Linux desktop operating system has had a good foundation after several years. The so-called "thick accumulation and thin hair", in the next few years, linux is likely to make breakthroughs in the desktop operating system. According to the performance of the first official Yarrow of the Fedora Linux desktop operating system, the overall progress is much better than that of Red Hat, which indeed gives users more confidence, I believe that, thanks to the efforts of members of the open-source ora Linux desktop operating system community, the future ora Linux desktop operating system versions will be even better. Hope you can make a good trip to Fedora!
