I'm still a bit confused, that #Fedora Silverblue 42 comes with random HP tools (presumably for CUPS)

Fedora 43 Ushers in RPM 6, Introduces New Project Leader | @Linuxiac

｢ Well, it’s now official—RPM 6 will be part of Fedora 43. The Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo), a key governing body within the Fedora Project that oversees various technical decisions related to the distro’s development, unanimously approved the proposal, with six votes in favor, none against, and no abstentions ｣

Y'all might want to hold off for a bit on updating to f42 #Fedora.

It looks like there's an issue with the bootloader in the Live ISOs that is causing a minor, though not insignificant, issue with native UEFI bootloader configurations.

The problem occurs if you just boot the ISO to pre-test it for compatibility with your system and its environment, and don't follow through with the installation.

Apparently, there's a patch already upstream. It shouldn't take too long to migrate.

#Fedora #AsahiRemix 42 Released for #AppleSilicon #Macs with #KDE Plasma 6.3
This release continues the trend of providing #Apple Silicon Mac users with extensive device support, including microphone support for #MacBook laptops. As with the previous release, there’s a Fedora Server variant for those who want to turn their Apple Silicon Macs into #servers or for other types of headless deployments.

Somehow my academic interest in #Linux distros got ignited again, when I first saw #Bluefin. I was fed up with all the tinkering of traditional and bleeding edge distros required. It was fun for some years, but eventually I had more urgent things to do than fixing my bootloader.

As a contrast, atomic desktops are such a cool concept, but I had never anything to do with #Fedora. Regardless of the advantages, having a fixed release cycle seems odd to me. But maybe it won’t matter much, since the base OS components are hot-swappable.

#AerynOS seems to combine atomic principles with a rolling release. But the project is apparently very WIP and not stable.

I’m going to keep my eye on both and I already started playing around with Bluefin a bit.

Certain models of Lenovo laptops now ship with Fedora and Ubuntu Linux. This is done to keep costs low and cater to developers or IT professionals who heavily rely on Linux. Another reason could be the increased unpopularity of Windows 11 in recent times due unwanted features like "AI" or "Recall", but that is just my own wild guess ;) LOL. Would you buy it?

Considering the new #Fedora 42, and the fact that I no longer use my personal laptop for work, I'm seriously contemplating trying #Bazzite as my next desktop. Does anyone use it as a proper workstation, rather than simply a gaming machine?

Fedora Linux 42 promotes KDE edition to major release alongside Gnome

Found a little bug with Fedora42, I can't set the brightness in Gnome unless i do it manually with brightnessctl then .. the sidebar shows up like magic

Decides to upgrade his desktop machine to #Fedora 42 over lunch.

Enjoying #Nobara #Linux so far, except for the very specific problem where #Fedora / #Wayland doesn't play nice with #LibreOffice.

Which is a huge pain in the bum when I need to take screenshots, and a feels like very specifically a me problem.

I have successfully upgraded from KDE spin of Fedora 41 to Fedora 42 KDE Plasma Desktop Edition on both of my laptops.

Interesting to see the volume info on the LUKS passphrase entry screen on boot.

I tried the Cosmic spin of Fedora 42 on my Surface Pro 3, but had some issues with configuring stuff in Cosmic. I don't have time to play around with it more right now, but should this weekend.

If anyone, using Fedora Linux 42, has issues with OBS-Studio and the Virtual-Camera mode:

That's because of an incompatibility between OBS-Studio 31.0 and the v4l2loopback Kernel module in version 0.14.0.

The fix for that is in obs 31.0.3, which is on the way from testing to stable right now. Should be offered as an RPM update within the next days.

Anyone have any thought _why_ #Fedora kernels (39 - 43) would not boot on my Alienware M16 R2 laptop (after firmware update 1.10.0+) when OpenSUSE and Ubuntu kernels will? Secure boot is off, storage is not using built-in RAID.

Fedora used to boot before the firmware update. System is setup as a dual-boot with Windows 11.

Sortie de Fedora Linux 42, la réponse à la grande question sur le Libre, Linux et tout le reste ? https://www.journalduhacker.net/s/tynjcw/sortie_de_fedora_linux_42_la_r_ponse_la https://linuxfr.org/news/sortie-de-fedora-linux-42-la-reponse-a-la-grande-question-sur-le-libre-linux-et-tout-le-reste #fedora

Very happy with #Fedora 42 WSL. Not too happy with the #Gnome 48 Adwaita font though (switched back to Cantarell).

If you're an i3 user on Fedora, you might notice that you can't get into i3 via GDM after a @fedora upgrade. I'm using lightdm via these commands:

dnf install lightdm
systemctl disable gdm
systemctl enable lightdm
systemctl reboot
