Testing gnome-slim iso

Development QA

Any gnome experienced (of the gnome desktop) user may want to test the slim version of the iso.

Also with the ‘slim’ philosophy in mind, the purpose would be to remove redundant stuff as much as possible and/or to add anything really needed it may miss.

I will in a VM later when I get to my computer

I downloaded and installed the Rome version. It of course ran flawlessly on my system as it prefers GTK for some reason. My only suggestion, which is not exactly the slim philosopy is to have tears of mandrake preinstalled on it. I know that it comes with software center, but I would never use that.
Tears of Mandrake will also install yum extender, but it is a price that is worth paying. It makes finding your applications easier and configuration a breeze. Other than that. It runs great and slim

Good catch; that was not intended, but rather an overlook :wink:
Thanks. I add it.

  • [6.0 gnome slim x86_64 ][build ID 3891]
  • Downloaded and tried in live.
  • Fast, seems stable.
  • Is only in English, but in as many as 19 different flavors!
  • ok.

@bruno thank you.
English-only is intended. “That’s not a bug that’s a feature” :grin:

I’ll be glad to help with gnome…

Recently moved to OM Rome and put it on both of my machines. However, had to install plasma6 amd cpu iso since I was not able to get external display (laptop connected to the docking station) working with regular isos (gnome, xfce).

Then I install Cosmic and now gnome on top of plasma6 install and everything works smoothly.

And on cooker channel just received info that there is new gnome amd cpu iso :heavy_heart_exclamation:
