Fedora 26 Upgrade
Fedora is another flavor of Linux, right? Is it directed at a specific demographic (like work, or as a Windows replacement, etc)?

Mint is a lovelier flavor. ;)
Been experimenting with Cinnamon desktop. It's interesting and I'm sure it works much better on Wayland than X11, but Parallels hasn't made the leap to hooking Wayland yet. So Cinnamon works kind of sluggish in Fedora.
That said, found that Parallels' internet and filesystem interoperability kernel modules are fubar under kernel 4.12.5. So it's been a fun few days.

Yep. LOL.
I actually downloaded Linux Mint 18.2 64 bit Cinnamon last night and I'm going to install it on a spare HDD in this desktop. I just want to play around with it some. I've done that with other versions of Linux Mint in the past, then get bored of it. Then again, I usually download and install MATE (I have that on my original desktop build (17.1)). Perhaps Cinnamon will be more interesting.
I've only ever downloaded/installed Ubuntu and Mint(Cinnamon). I think Mint is the friendliest for my level.
