That'sÂ*aÂ*myth.

If you install from the Live USB's installer, you get the same
exact thing as was on the Live stick.Â* Everything that
worked with the stick will work installed.

There is only one exception I have come across.Â* RHEL
does not work natively with C236 chipsets, but will
work with the Live USB because it is SLOWER and
the problem is a timing issue.Â* And RHEL won't fix
unless you pay them to.

So, you agree that there are instances where the live
differs from the installed.

If you install from the Live USB, you get the same stuff
installed as was on the Live USB. Well, at least
the Fedora Live spins.

When first boot up into Xfce, it will ask you one question
about the panels. If you ask for a blank panel, it will
look different that on the Live USB.

Two problems I've encountered most often are when
the installed display comes up blank, and when
the LAN doesn't work and you have to search the web
for the driver that you need to search the web.

I can't tell you how many weird and unusual computers I
have stuck Live USB's and DVD's into. I can only
remember one Mac Book (overprices laptop) that I
could not get it to boot into.

I NEVER have an issue with Ethernet. I sometimes
have an issue with wireless, but I usually don't care
as I am fixing things on the local machine anyway.

Fedora's "NetworkManager Applet" is really, really easy
to use.

I carry a USB3 to Ethernet adapter for those idiot machines
without an Ethernet port. (Did I say Apple? ) And to
troubleshoot dead Ethernet adapters and wireless adapters.


Since both worked from the live version, the required
drivers are there.Â* It's just that nobody cared to
inform the OS upon installation.Â* A mere mortal
can't figger out how to fix it.

Oh Geez. What f*** up spun your Live ISO? Here is
a list of Fedora's Live spins:

https://spins.fedoraproject.org/

Fedora keeps up with hardware. The Spins may be
a few months out of date. If your computer
won't run on the spin, ask the mailing list
for help.



They will give you the shirt off their
backs (unlike some of the ass holes over on the
the newsgroups, but they are easy to kill file).


The onion of linux is riddled with stuff like this.
No oversight leads to stuff not seen.

You seriously need to look at Fedora. It is a vibrant
community with tons of oversight. Fedora is a shining
example of Kaisen (constant improvement), unlike M$
and RHEL. Fedora just keeps getting better and better.

Fedora still is shy on apps though, so don't abandon
Windows right away. And there are always virtual machines.
