Fedora Linux 38 Cinnamon SPIN – Part 2: Clean install of 38

Fedora Linux 38 is out ‘n I’m doing a two part series on how to do a System Upgrade & a Clean install of Fedora Linux 38 Cinnamon SPIN. Part 1 covered upgrading from previous releases 36 & 37. This is Part 2 ‘n I will be doing a clean installation using the Anaconda installer, and then showing a few ‘Tweaks‘ in post-installation.

‘Anaconda is a fairly sophisticated installer‘ — which, IMHO, stops more users from giving Fedora Linux a try. However, even tho the installer is considered a “fairly sophisticated” one, is not that difficult to use—not once you figure out how to “Reclaim Disk Space” on the Target disk.

I’ll be installing Fedora 38 to a 64GB SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive, but will be using Anaconda installer pics from a previous post on a Fedora 37 installation, so don’t let the difference in disk sizes distract you — as they say, ‘Size doesn’t matter‘. 😉

Fedora Linux 38 Cinnamon SPIN – Part 1: Upgrade from 36 & 37

Fedora Linux 38 is out ‘n I’ll be doing a two part series on Fedora Linux 38 Cinnamon SPIN. This post is Part 1 ‘n will be on the System Upgrades I have just done — two upgrades from Fedora 37 ‘n one upgrade from Fedora 36. Part 2 will be doing a clean installation using the Anaconda installer.

Fedora Linux makes a great portable OS ‘n I have it install on two USBs — a 64 GB SanDisk Ultra for its portability & a 64 GB SanDisk Ultra Fit that stays plugged into a switched SABRENT 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub. The 7 port hub holds two other Linux Distros that I use ‘n test at various times on my ‘Rose‘ main Test Machine. Both of those are now upgraded to Fedora 38. The other upgrade of Fedora Linux was done on a converted Samsung Chromebook, i.e., now a Fedora Linux 38 Laptop/Tablet/Sketchbook — ‘Sam‘.

Ukraine forces Russia to cancel annual Immortal Regiment Victory march

Ukraine has forced Russia to cancel the annual Immortal Regiment Victory march, and at the same time exposed ‘Paper Bear‘ Putin as the weak and foolish leader that he is. Putin reinvaded Ukraine, foolishly believing that he controlled a world ‘Super Power‘ military, and the results in the first year have been devastating for Russia — Ten’s of Thousands of Russian Troops have been killed, and Ten’s of Thousands more are now crippled for life.

Russia preparing MASSIVE Military Draft & Soviet-style Govt

Russia had Ten’s of Thousands of their Troops killed in their reinvasion of Ukraine, in the first year. Ten’s of Thousands more are now crippled for life. So many Russian Troops have been killed or injured that Russia had problems replacing them quick enough.

Solution: ‘marry Soviet-style societal control measures with big data and 21st-century information technology to intensify control over the Russian population after Russia used facial recognition, QR codes, and mobile device geo-tracking technology to enforce a draconian COVID-19 quarantine in 2020.‘
