@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.)

After a great week for Linux, with the releases of Fedora 40 and today Ubuntu 24.04, I would be interested to know which operating system the Fediverse in my "bubble" uses? Linux? Windows? Or macOS or even a BSD? More than one?

Please write in the comments which distribution or version! Thanks for participating and SHARING!

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.

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

Second is that Fedora IoT will be the first rpm-ostree variant to be a bootable container image. You will literally be swapping to newer and newer container images when you update, which really emphasizes the idea of atomicity.

#Bazzite 3.0 is out now! That was quick!

#Linux #Fedora

TIL Fedora is packaging a web browser app I developed for elementary OS, stopped updating over three years ago, and marked as end-of-life two years ago—yet it happily shows up in Fedora 40 if you search my name. It crashes on launch, so it doesn’t even work…

WHY??

Edit: I guess the package is being EOL'd in Fedora due to it no longer building and this thread, huzzah! My recommendation to distros: don’t package random apps and then not maintain them/communicate with upstream.

#Fedora #Linux

Bazzite 3.0 is delayed indefinitely at the moment, due to some technical issues.

I've just rebased to Bazzite testing to get KDE Plasma 6.1 and it's working great so far.

EDIT: Bazzite 3.0 is out!

#Bazzite #Fedora #UBlue #FedoraAtomic #Linux

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.

#Fedora40 #Fedora #GDM #GNOME #bug #resolution #signIn

The main thing that I run into with #Fedora #Silverblue that really doesn't "just work" — unlike pretty much everything else— is video playback. The way to "fix" it gets more convoluted with every release, too.
Anyway, for Fedora 40 it seems to now be:
`sudo rpm-ostree override remove noopenh264 --install openh264 --install gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 --install mozilla-openh264`

I *really* wish H.264 wasn't so widely adopted as the de-facto codec.

Universal Blue is generally available today! We're out of beta and ready to showcase everything a Linux desktop can be. Our work has been to show how many problems in client Linux are already solved from the cloud native world. We hope you'll join us on this journey!

The uBlue maintainers also have a message they want to share for @fedora :)

Updates on Bluefin, Bazzite, and Aurora coming soon!

#uBlue #Bluefin #Bazzite #FedoraAtomic #Fedora #Linux

I'm not involved with #Fedora, but presumably there's a release process that is written somewhere.

This sounds like a bug in not just the software, but also the release process. Perhaps the way to tackle the software bug is to fix the release process so that alarm bells ring *before* next release.

Grabbing prerelease images and testing and raising bugs in the run up to release might provoke some action - if you have the time to do that. *someone* clearly needs to!

#accessibility

Just checked and yes, the screen reader is still broken in Fedora 40. (Cannot be controlled; keyboard shortcuts/modifier key doesn’t work.)

So this is yet another release where the screen reader is broken by default.

It’s amazing to me that this is not a showstopper.

#accessibility #a11y #fedora40 #fedora #linux

Just rebooted and I’m up and running with Fedora Silverblue 40.

(Just tried reinstalling mozilla-openh264 – so videos work in Firefox – but it failed with the same error. Not a big deal, I’m using @Vivaldi as my main browser these days anyway and I guess the Fedora folks will fix this in time.)

More importantly, I wonder if the screen reader has been fixed yet. (Yes, Fedora ships with a broken screen reader.)

Fedora 40 comes with a refresh of our branded laptop collaboration... introducing the Slimbook Fedora 2!

@slimbook has packed this with exciting features like:
* New black chassis
* US ANSI keyboard layout
* Intel i7 13th Gen CPU
* Nvidia RTX 4000 series GPU
* In 14" and 16" sizes

Note that I just encountered the following issue:

https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/536

Which I worked around by removing mozilla-openh264 before running the rebase again, at which point it succeeded:

rpm-ostree remove mozilla-openh264

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!

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.

The leading Linux desktop

A beautiful, high-quality desktop, built on the latest open source technology. Trusted, powerful and easy.

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.

Big thank you to @dogphilosopher for an update to flatpaks on Bluefin. Now flatpaks can be preinstalled from the ISO rather than having to download them on first boot in order to provide the intended experience. That means @thunderbird on the dock by default!

Awesome step forward for us to be able to bring you intended apps by default without straying from @flathub

If you can help with testing the new ISOs, please see below for instructions.
