Some people might assume that this text means the lights must work correctly also. This could result in a continuing string of bug reports. It may be worthwhile to state that the toggle state may not be correctly represented by the light state. I understand that saying (what seems to be an obvious failure) is acceptable is a problem. This one may hang around to haunt us for many Halloweens to come. Have a Great Day! Pat (tablepc)

Article Idea: Desktop memory footprints
by Troy Dawson 28 Oct '19

28 Oct '19

I recently read this Forbes article on XFCE being larger than KDE.[1] The article itself admits it isn't very scientific. And the little scientist in me is screaming. My biggest issue is that they used completely different distributions to test each desktop. Anyway, and idea for an Fedora article. Do a scientific comparison of memory usage of the different desktops. Not just KDE, and XFCE, but at least all the desktops we have "groups" for. Possibly even compare all 40+ desktops we have. Does that sound like something that would be good in the Fedora Magazine? Troy [1] - https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2019/10/23/bold-prediction-kde-…

What's new in F31 Workstation
by Paul Frields 28 Oct '19

28 Oct '19

Ryan, looks like F31 is on for this coming Tuesday release. Do you have time to do a quick "What's New in F31 Workstation" article and image? Also, if you could do a F31 release image that'd be great. I should be able to help out with a couple of the others. -- Paul

Audacious Article Idea
by Mehdi Haghgoo 26 Oct '19

26 Oct '19

Hi I am thinking that the Audacious music player, which I have been using for a while and know and love many of its features, would make for a good mag article. Let me know what you think and I can come up with a draft of a sizeable good article on Audacious for a time gap that is available for publishing articles. RegardsMehdi
