Fedora Linux 38 End Of Life in one week

I just installed #Fedora 40 on my old Alienware X14 R1. It works great and gaming on it still works thanks to Proton -- installing games from #Steam and #GOG (via @heroiclauncher). I need to get it customized and get some tools installed.

I haven't used Linux on a laptop since running it on my old #ThinkPad T450.

The only thing that doesn't work is the keyboard lighting and RGB customization. I'll have to see if I can find some workaround for that.

The only thing that I had to figure out was #nvidia drivers which required me to sign the drivers because of Secure Boot.

Matrix certrainly has its rough edges, but I find it awesome that pretty much every major Linux community now has their dedicated space. All federated, of course.

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.

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. 😎
