Looking forward to F29 on my Talos II (currently a very satisfied F28 user except for the problems with the provided Firefox package which I must build from source currently), but I'll wait a bit for all the mirrors to catch up.

What do you think of the Talos?

I really like it. It runs fairly cool and quiet, the hardware works great and the software support is now at the point it can be a daily driver. Plus, it builds Firefox at -j24 in a half hour (I have an 8-core SMT-4 system). If the sticker price on the big T2 makes you shiver, wait for the Blackbird, but Power ISA on the desktop is totally viable again as a workstation.
