Fedora Design Suite 19

English

Fedora 19 is officially released including all available spins. Design Suite, free of Live CD size constraint, can be used through either DVD or USB drive (2GB minimum). Based on latest stable Gnome Shell, the spin now includes several new tools by default like Gpick for colour selection, Hugin for panoramic pictures, pdfShuffler for add/remove pdf files and Bluefish for web design. Unfortunately, Cinepaint failed to start due to bugz #904256, other packages runs smoothly. You can download it via this channel.

Design package in Fedora has been updated to closely match the spin version with additional typefaces like Comfortaa, Adobe Source Sans Pro and Overpass. That package is suitable for those wanting to use a different desktop environment.

The graphical part of Raven Ridge is Vega 8, basically a cut-down of Vega56 or Vega64 meaning choosing either driver for RX Vega . The instruction is provided for extracting the rpm files but here is some requirements for OpenCL: kernel-devel (provided by Fedora repository) amdgpu-dkms dkms libopencl-amdgpu-pro opencl-amdgpu-pro-icd Once done, applications needing OpenCL will automatically detect the driver located on /opt/amdgpu/lib64 .
