If you have no hardware specific requirements to stay on F11, I would
recommend moving to F12 if not for anything else just to save you
trouble from another upgrade at the time of release for F13.

I do a fair bit of programming (C++, Python, some Fortran), watch
movies and play 3D games on my F11 desktop at home. Too bad I have to
use Ubuntu at the lab. :-\
