I am an Ubuntu Gnome 15.04 user and at a cross-roads to continue using it and update to 16.04 or go with Fedora 25. Reason I am considering this is I love Gnome 3.x and that is the standard desktop for Fedora 25 where with Ubuntu, it is Unity, and with Ubuntu Gnome, it is of course Gnome but for me, just seems more an afterthought.
I am not a linux guru but been using my Maingear Shift with Ubuntu Gnome since 13.x days and I like it. But, all the books you buy seem to cover Unity and not Gnome so much. I know the big books or bibles cover some Gnome but it always worries me if I do such and such per the book, will that also work for Gnome desktop or does it consider I am in Unity, etc... so worried it will screw up my system.
Would prefer an OS where the whole book is about the main desktop, and that is why I am considering Fedora, as it seems more Gnome centric, if that makes sense.
Problem though.... I don't see many books or bibles for Fedora, especially newest version 25. I have an old Beginning Fedora Desktop book from 2013 but that covers an very old Fedora 18.
Are there any books today or planned for the dummy like I for Fedora 25. I am not a dummy but prefer to have a book that I know covers the exact OS and desktop I am using so I don't have to question is this for Unity only or....
Otherwise I may just update to Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 and buy the newest Ubuntu book, big old bibles they sell, and deal with it.
Thanks
