I'd second that:
Make #Fedora *the* most accessible #Linux-distribution and therefore work together with the blind and otherwise disabled persons (motoric, cognitive, ...).

@Vivaldi Bug report:

- OS: Fedora Linux 40.20240424.0 (Silverblue) x86_64
- DE: GNOME 46.1 (Wayland)

After signing in after sleep, Vivaldi renders at @1x even though my screen is set to @2x.

(Moving the window around or resizing it, etc., re-renders it at the correct resolution.)

If Fedora 40 had a headlining change, it might be @kde Plasma 6. The KDE SIG have brought over all the hard work from that community to give you a solid desktop experience from day 1.

We're also pushing technology forward by making this release Wayland-only, though X11 apps will still work!

Plasma 6 is also available for our Kinoite users.

Give the Fedora KDE 40 spin a try today!

We are proud of the stable reputation that Fedora Workstation has built over the years. We hope to add to that with Fedora Workstation 40!

Workstation brings @gnome 46 to users with tweaks to the Settings and Files apps. You can now use Remote Login to connect to a computer even if it doesn't have an active session.

Silverblue and Fedora Atomic users - here's a guide on how to rebase to Fedora 40.

The graphical example used is for Silverblue, but if you follow the terminal instructions they will work on any Fedora Atomic Desktop. Just pay attention to use the name of your variant where applicable.

If anything goes bad, you can rollback to Fedora 39. Additionally you can pin your current image if you need to go back after a few updates.

Fedora IoT 40 got some cool under-the-hood changes.

First is that Fedora IoT now uses the unified core model, making them the last rpm-ostree variant to make the switch.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Fedora_IoT_Unified_Core

CORRECTION: The bootable container image change did not end up making it in Fedora 40.

There’s a long-standing bug in Fedora (also in Fedora 40), where the sign-in screen is displayed at the wrong resolution (it doesn’t use the settings you have set in the Settings app).

So, for example, if you have 4K@2x set in your settings for your monitor, the sign-in screen will still display at a tiny 4K@1x.

To fix, download an app called GDM Settings from the Software app and press Display → Apply current display settings → Apply.

Fedora Silverblue 40 and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS will both be out this month. In this piece, I outline why most end users should opt for Fedora Silverblue 40 over Ubuntu despite the latter's popularity.

Chris Titus Tech has been loving Bazzite! We're glad to see that all of the gamer-focused improvements we make are noticed and appreciated. There's what comes by default and the extras that we make easy to install!

This is also a good look at someone using Bazzite in deck mode for a home theater PC so that it's functionally a console. 😎

ALL CLEAR for Fedora Rawhide and Fedora 40 Beta builds regarding the xz exploit. 👍

Things had stabilized soon after the initial security advisory, but we're now confirming that you can use Rawhide and Fedora 40 Beta safely as long as you have the latest updates or reinstall (which is not a bad idea to be safe).

Fedora 38 and 39 were never affected.

En tiedä miksi, mutta PopOS on alkanut yhä kasvavassa määrin temppuilla ja softat kaatuilee toistuvasti. Voi olla että vika ei ole käyttiksessä, mutta testaanpahan silti jotain muuta.

En ole koskaan kokeillut Fedoraa, joten asentelenpahan sen virtuaalimasiinaan leikittäväksi kun se on saanut paljon kehuja ☺️

I also highly recommend Linux (as several others do). I'm always shocked how unprofessional it looks when colleagues open the default browser on Microsoft full with advertisements and irrelevant news. That looks so unprofessional and is so distracting.
And it makes so clear that you are the product they are mining.

I personally use #Fedora Linux (with the #GNOME desktop), extremely easy to use and very clean.

I have just submitted a change proposal to @fedora to change the default desktop environment for #Fedora Workstation to @kde #plasma

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FedoraPlasmaWorkstation

I want to emphasize, this is NOT an April Fool's joke. It may come as a surprise, given I am the lead of @buddiesofbudgie, but I am just as interested in seeing adoption of Fedora and the greater Linux desktop increase. I firmly believe that Plasma as a default over GNOME Shell would be a net positive for the Linux ecosystem.
