First impression of Fedora 28 Workstation, the background looks very beautiful and it is of very high quality. |
Fedora 28 Workstation features GNOME 3.28.x as default desktop environment. Well, the 0.28 may be a coincidence. |
Application Overview, default feature of GNOME shell |
Nautilus file manager, icons are a little big but not looking bad in overall |
GNOME Terminal emulator. As usual in distroscreens screenshots, screenfetch utility is used for demo |
Multitasking Overview - Another cool feature of GNOME shell |
A demo of GUI based multitasking. Nautilus, Firefox and GNOME terminal running simultaneously. |
Alt + Tab window switching. Nothing changed here for years. |
For better productivity, firefox is still used as default browser |
GNOME Videos. Additional plugins and codecs are required to play common multimedia files. It is not that easy in a live session. Hence, no screenshot while streaming a video :( |
Rhythmbox Music Player. Nothing changed much since years |
LibreOffice 6.x series is used as productivity suite in Fedora 28 |
The revamped version of GNOME Photos helps us to organize our photos in a better way. |
GNOME Calendar |
GNOME Weather |
GNOME Maps |
GNOME Clocks |
GNOME Software in Fedora 28. Do you see the message on top of the window? Yes. It is asking whether we want to enable proprietary repositories or not. One of the cool highlight in Fedora 28 |
Once we enable 3rd party repositories, we can get access to a variety of proprietary packages including Google Chrome |
GNOME Control Center |
There are only two backgrounds available in Fedora 28 Workstation. If we are more interested in backgrounds, we can install package containing community contributed wallpapers |
As per GNOME System Monitor, it takes around 1.1 GiB of memory to run Fedora 28 Workstation without any application open. |
While the top utility says, it takes only 837 MB of memory on idle state. |
Calendar cum Notification widget integrated to GNOME shell. In notification area, it includes an indicator for rhythmbox which is running on background |
The System Menu, a place to access various system related operations like poweroff, logout, settings .e.tc |
On clicking Power Off, Fedora asks whether you want o Power Off or Restart the system. |
Since the admin of this site is working, no question very rapidly it will be well-known, due to its quality contents.
