  • Ya it was an intense scene! Why do you think Abby had that response? Because she’s a purely evil twisted character? or maybe because she was in a fit of rage after

    spoiler

    learning that Ellie had killed her pregnant friend Mel?

    Are Ellie’s actions justified and Abby’s not? Why? I wasn’t trying to be mean by saying you missed out on this game, if you think Ellie’s actions are righteous and Abby’s are evil, you missed what the game was trying to tell you.






  • Trust me I’m more on your side than you think, what you described should indeed work as you expected. If I selected the Window Managers group during install and it specifically installed things that need Xorg, I’d be surprised if they weren’t working on first boot because of missing Xorg. The Anaconda installer that Fedora uses has generally been very reliable for me, but I haven’t installed Fedora in that specific way, I’ve always chosen a graphical desktop and then installed other window managers or DEs on top of it, or gone with a minimal server install for headless deployments with no GUI at all.

    The fact that this was hard to troubleshoot is not a good look for Fedora either, even if this is a somewhat non-standard setup. It’s bad UX that base-x is not documented or easy to find, though on the positive side, I’ve never needed to know that base-x contains all the Xorg packages because Fedora has, for me, seemed to manage this on its own without needing me to know this detail. One more implementation detail I don’t have to deal with is a positive in my book, right up until you have to deal with it, then it’s super frustrating.


  • I’ll give you that, documentation compared to the Arch wiki is not as comprehensive; nothing’s as comprehensive as the Arch wiki lol

    I don’t think I understand what you’re trying to accomplish:

    “Let me put it in perspective: You install a basic desktop”

    If i’m installing a basic Fedora desktop, i’m going to their website, downloading the default ISO, and installing the default Gnome desktop. That has xorg and wayland and display drivers and all the things you need to get it running on pretty much any hardware. If i don’t want Gnome i’ll use an ISO with a different desktop, still get wayland and xorg with the default install.

    If you’re installing Fedora from the minimal install and then building the desktop (or window manager, maybe you use i3 or openbox) up from scratch like you would in Arch, you’re going about it the wrong way. You can go this route but i’m not surprised you’d run into some issues there and have to solve for missing packages (as you would in Arch too, though the Arch Wiki is much more helpful with this type of install).
