Nice. I’ve been running the Fedora Workstation 40 beta for weeks now and not had a single issue. It’s impressive how stable Fedora is, even on the beta in my experience, despite using pretty up to date packages.

Aside from the god-awful installer (which they’re replacing), and the ball ache of installing media codecs, it’s an amazing distro.

When are they replacing it?

terminhell ,

Last I heard, 41?

biribiri11 ,

Yep, 41 unless something else happens: fedoraproject.org/…/AnacondaWebUIforFedoraWorksta…Not sure about the atomic desktops, though. F41 is also getting DNF5, so it’ll definitely be a cool release.

terminhell ,

Ah cool. That’s the release I’ve been looking forward too.

god-awful installer

lol, it’s not that bad is it? I have installed fedora on 2 of our machine without a single issue 😂

TheGrandNagus ,

It’s not bad as in it breaks, it’s just extremely clunky, poorly laid out, and unintuitive. People have complained about it for years. It’s due to be replaced next release, though

I’ve had a bunch of unprecedented problems with 39, I think this time I’ll do a clean install

yeah, so I got AMD graphics and it was news to me that from now till the end of days, you’re supposed to run dnf up thusly:

sudo dnf up -x mesa-va-drivers

that suffix prevents fedora’s shitty mesa from interfering with your cool mesa from rpmfusion, even though you swapped shitty-mesa with cool-mesa, as instructed. apparently, they started forcing this shit recently, can’t remember ever having to do this, from F35 on up to F39.

this feels like a new take on wrestling Ubuntu and its snap monstrosity, you ripped shit out and thought you were fine. not so, we want shit done to your computer, even though you’re like against it but you don’t really mean it, right? man, gtfo with that bullshit, go break a Gnome extension or something and leave this shit be!

that’s mentioned NOWHERE - not in the rpmfusion howto’s, not in askfedora/fedora magazine (but there are swaths of jerkoffs going “well that’s a risk when using 3rd party shit”), nor any step-by-step articles I looked at, I accidentally found it buried in a 3rd level comment of some rando reddit discussion.

edit: the installer sucks big fat elephant dick.

Unyieldingly ,

that was fast no delays?

I mean xz is already “done” (RPM uses zstd, all other projects are upstream)

designated_fridge ,

My first gig as a software developer offered Fedora23 I think it was if you wanted Linux. Would be interesting to see how much has changed but I don’t really have a machine to just throw fedora on

kautau ,

Could always run it in a vm if you just wanted to poke around

boredsquirrel ,

If you dont have a machine, you can still imagine one 😉
