I wrote about Fedora use on servers in the context of Heartbleed bug.
On desktop, of course, I'm using Xfce now (as I was old Gnome 2 user)
and my friends (which not upgrade their own Fedora distras frequently
and then skipped the gap between Gnome 2 and Mate) are using Mate now.
With lightdm, because it has possibility to choice session language,
which option isn't in gdm (despite the gnome 3 ballast, as You type).
