    You can leave your hat on. Here's an enthusiastic review of Fedora 24 Gnome 64-bit edition installed on an HP Pavilion laptop in a dual-boot configuration with Windows 7, covering installation, additional respositories, extra codecs, plugins and software, thorough customization with new themes, icons and extensions, system updates, Nvidia graphics card driver setup using two different methods and associated troubleshooting, benchmark comparison between Nouveau and Nvidia, Steam, hardware compatibility - webcam, Bluetooth, smartphone support, suspend and resume, resource utilization, performance, responsiveness, battery life, small issues with SELinux and leftover Gnome settings, other observations, and more. And there shall be sequels. Have fun.

    Great review. Fedora is a really excellent OS these days.
