It has been a full year here at the Fedora Magazine, and now it is nearing its end, we are looking back at some of the awesome content from our contributors. We feature many articles throughout the year that are focused on users that use Fedora as a Desktop OS. Here are some of the best articles from our contributors that are useful for Fedora Workstation users.

Using Nautilus Scripts
Scripts in Nautilus are not a new feature, but still super useful for automating quick tasks into the File Browser.
Backing up with Déjà Dup

Calculator in the Overview
The overview in Fedora workstation is equipped with search providers that allow apps to show results when searching. The Calculator app uses this feature to let you do simple calculations quickly via the search.
Flatpak
Flatpak can roughly be described as a modern replacement for RPMs, but its impact is far more significant than simply offering a new packaging format.This article covers what Flatpak is, and how to install Flatpaks on your Fedora system.
Installing more Wallpapers
The Fedora repos contain a treasure trove of wallpapers created for Fedora releases. This article shows you the wallpapers available from previous releases — going back to Fedora 8 — and what packages to install to get them on your current Fedora install.
