Fedora 21 Released
linuxscreenshot writes: The Fedora Project has announced the release of Fedora 21. "As part of the Fedora.next initiative, Fedora 21 comes in three flavors: Cloud, Server, and Workstation. Cloud is now a top-level deliverable for Fedora 21, and includes images for use in private cloud environments like OpenStack, as well as AMIs for use on Amazon, and a new "Atomic" image streamlined for running Docker containers. The Fedora Server flavor is a common base platform that is meant to run featured application stacks, which are produced, tested, and distributed by the Server Working Group. The Fedora Workstation is a new take on desktop development from the Fedora community. Our goal is to pick the best components, and integrate and polish them. This work results in a more polished and targeted system than you've previously seen from the Fedora desktop." Here are screenshots for Fedora 21: GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and MATE.
After more than a decade of trolling, your karma is finally catching up to you. I am very pleased!
It's readily apparent you haven't even used Fedora in years. So why bother commenting on it? Systemd has been in Fedora for over two and a half years. You're a little late to the whining party. I highly doubt you've even used PulseAudio before. PulseAudio has pretty much just worked for several years now (yes it was a disruptive change at the time) and I for one am extremely glad to have it. It makes audio in Linux not suck. Don't know what world you live in, but it appears to be stuck a few years ago when there actually were problems. Occasionally I have a glitch of some kind, but I also had problems with straight ALSA too. Having multiple devices and multiples streams is an awesome feature that brings Linux a little bit more feature parity with Windows. Note that PulseAudio and Jack serve different purposes. Use whichever one supports your needs at that moment. PA happily gets out of Jack's way when you need to do some real-time audio processing.
I sound like a broken record, but at least for enterprise distros like RHEL, standard syslogs are pretty much required (possibly under certain legal frameworks some enterprises operate under). Therefor RHEL 7 has rsyslog and it works fine. You can also enable in Fedora if you want. Using rsyslog as a long-term audit-able log, and then using journald as a short-term, highly-detailed debugging log is a good compromise, IMO. The level of detail journald can capture is very nice when you need it. Not sure where Fedora wants to go with this issue ultimately. We'll have to see.
