Test mediawiki format

GitHub will happily render this file containing MediaWiki-format wikitext. But its online editor (ACE?) does not do syntax higlighting as I edit this.

typos in uraeus's excellent "Fedora Workstation: Our Vision for Linux Desktop" post

You write so eloquently that the few typos stand out.

Title should be "Our Vision for the Linux Desktop"

"took a good look at the operating system from an overall stance" Just say operating system overall instead of mixing metaphors. Your stance is your attitude towards something, not so much how you look at things.

"we decided that was to narrow a wording as our efforts are ..." : that should be "too narrow" and use a comma and something less ambiguous than "as," → we decided that was too narrow a wording, since our efforts are ...

"used in Red Hat first foray into image based operating systems" → Red Hat's first foray. Also hyphenate multi-word phrase for clarity → image-based operating systems. More hyphenation "a fast moving OS" → fast-moving,

Installing Roon Server on Fedora Linux _not_ as root

I just installed Roon Server on my laptop running Fedora 37 Workstation as a separate roon user instead of the security insanity :crazy_face: of the default Linux which installs and runs as the root user. I did this before, it went a little smoother this time. Here are my notes, they extend Roon's own Installing Roon on Linux documentation.

Disclaimer 1! If these commands don't make sense ("do I enter the '%'?" "what is sudo?"), then don't follow this, and take the risk by running the Easy install. Disclaimer 2 This is an edited version of what I did omitting all the false starts and failed commands. I didn't QA these by uninstalling and reverting everything and starting again from scratch following my own instructions.

Dependencies

I had them all installed already, but this should work in Fedora:

% sudo dnf install ffmpeg alsa-lib cifs-utils
% dnf --cacheonly --installed info glibc
