This happened to me: clojure - Leiningen tries to call java.exe from a wrong/missing JDK - Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22191986/leiningen-tries-to-call-java-exe-from-a-wrong-missing-jdk#22222935

This line had my solution:

• Does your leiningen user profile ~/.lein/profiles.clj have a :java-cmd setting ?

Yes, mine did. I vaguely remember doing that when trying to configure Emacs in "Clojure for the Brave and True."

Getting a working development environment and wrapping one's head around how Clojure programs are constructed and distributed is quite a barrier. It's not like I've gotten over it.

I'm sure that people use fireplace.vim and do so successfully, but I can't get it to do anything when I follow the instructions at https://github.com/tpope/vim-fireplace

The biggest Fedora 28 reinstallation hurdle was getting the installer to "take" my original root partition. I had to check the box for overwriting it. There should have been some guidance. Instead I had to figure it out. It was an educated guess.

When I re-installed Fedora 28, I was able to keep my /home partition. It wasn't exactly a seamless process, as this is a dual boot with a now-ancient Windows 8 (not even point-1) and an encrypted Fedora.

After years of generally seamless Fedora upgrades, I had to re-install Fedora 28 after a failed upgrade left my Fedora 27 installation unbootable. It was something having to do with the keys, even though I had secure boot turned off. The old install was crufty anyway.
