While downloading F43 updates for my desktop, I found this thread on
Xorg. Admittingly, I still do not fully understand how the windowing
manager all fits together. I take it that there are various X libraries?
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f43-change-proposal-x11libre-system-…
I thought this quote was interesting:
"Fedora will benefit from shipping an actively maintained Xserver instead
of a moribund one whose maintainers themselves label as “unmaintained”
(pushing Wayland as the replacement)."

I upgraded to Fedora 43 on the Thinkpad. It seems to work well!
I do have the Temurin Java repository activated.

I was looking at a way to cache packages for Fedora. I recall apt-cacher
for Debian. It appears that one needs to create a shared file storage
repository to cach packages. I just scanned the article. Anyone have a
cache configured for Fedora packages?

Gary, computers are hard and shouldn't be used by retired folks. :) Run it
like below, it will load last. Use AI for docs - much easier and faster
than our brains.
Type=idle
Behavior of idle is very similar to simple; however, actual execution of
the service program is delayed until all active jobs are dispatched. This
may be used to avoid interleaving the output of shell services with the
status output on the console. Note that this type is useful only to improve
console output, it is not useful as a general unit ordering tool, and the
effect of this service type is subject to a 5s timeout, after which the
service program is invoked anyway.

What logs to check? I tried `journalctl -xe` and I don't see anything.
