I don't have Workspace in my System-Settings -
I only have Personal, Hardware and System.
I seem to be missing something ...

But is this bar at the top of my display a panel?
It has 3 segments - Activities (on the left), which takes me to Favourites,
Data/Time (in the center) which also tells me about e-mail arrivals,
and a tray (on the right) which opens a small window with 3 icons
which I take to be System Settings, Screen Lock, and Shutdown/Restart.
(That is the only way I see to go to System Settings.)

Some things work well in Fedora-22 -
I don't mind writing dnf instead of yum (doesn't sound so nice)
and it seems to be significantly faster.
The display seems to me a little better on my ThinkPad T510.
I was surprised that my Firefox, KNode and KMail settings
were automatically updated - I assume that the data is saved
somewhere in my home folder.
The loss of the old panel is slightly annoying, but that is all.
