Upon further testing in Fedora 27, it seems everything so far has been working right. I used device monitor successfully, I have successfully applied a service pack and changed profiles. The UI seems to be a pretty OK GTK look would blend well on any GTK linux desktop. And the automatic privilege negotiation worked well I had to do very little if anything to get EScribe working. Great port.
Edit: Oh yeah, for online stuffs to work in Fedora I had to run "cert-sync /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt" as superuser
