That it does. MS needs to make that optional.

On by default is okay, but give the ability to switch it off at least.

A complete mess.

Can only just see the picture due to all the folders I haven't yet had time to organise.

Does Fedora have a good looking GUI and application support?

Almost any Linux distribution aimed at desktop use has decent GUI tools nowadays. Ten years ago, it was a mess, but it's much better now. Application support is what it is. I can choose from several browsers (Firefox, Chrome/Chromium, Midori, Konqueror, Opera), several IM clients (Kopete, Pidgin), several Torrent applications (KTorrent, Deluge, Transmission, Vuze, qBitTorrent), a nice office suite (LibreOffice, KOffice), etc. Of course, anything that is OS X only or Windows only won't run.


Not sure if its your theme or if Fedora purposely is trying to look like Windows.

I'm using the KDE spin of Fedora, and KDE has always looked a bit like Windows (with GNOME traditionally looking more like Classic Mac OS). I like the default panel layout, so I usually keep that. It wouldn't be too hard to change things around if I really wanted, however.
Not necessarily true? Some programs listed as 'Windows Only' will work with WINE (or something similar), won't they?

Depends. Some applications work very well, others not so much. Even with WINE, it's not nearly as nice as a native application. It's better to go into Linux expecting Windows-only apps to not work at all.

Here's mine as of now. Featuring my own photo and graphic work.

Cool people don't have to brag. If what they're doing is really all that cool, others will see it for what it is without the person dancing around, shouting "Look at how AWESOME I AM!"

Having a good IDE doesn't make you a good programmer, any more than having Photoshop makes you a good artist, or sitting in your garage makes you a Ferrari. People make good tools, but tools don't make good people. :P

Nothing too fancy, really. Background changes every 30 minutes or so.
