I have posted several emails in the past few months, that were

personal in nature about my experiences with Rawhide, and various

Fedora concepts or software, instead of posting about any specific

way to correctly use Fedora, or to fix a bug, or to report a bug.

It has been pointed out to me that I should write these post

in a different forum.

I could write them in my blog, but nobody would read that.

As an example, today was my first day to tinker with appimages

and obviously my first time to tinker with them in Fedora, and in

my case on Rawhide.

My first experience with appimages was unpleasant.    But at the

same time, I got to use the latest versions of two applications, Krita

and Firefox.     I am in the Firefox 81.0 appimage right now and have

been for most of the evening.    I had a few moments were I could

not print and a few moments it seemed to have crashed.    I think

some of the settings vanish when I close it and re-launch it.

Is there a place on the list-server where users can rant about things

in Fedora, and even complain about things.

The folks advertising appimages say it is the best invention since

sliced-bread.     But when I looked on the appimage hub, I did not

find any applications that I wanted to run.

It would seem using appimages in Rawhide is a good example of

how they can be used, as running the executable file doesn't affect the

operating system, and the developers of Rawhide don't have to worry

about repackaging Golden Dictionary.   ( I could not get that one to work

as an appimage ), but Rawhide seems to have the most recent version.

I now have about 40 man-hours running Rawhide on a Ryzen 3 1200AF

ASUS X570 computer.    No issues to report.
