People trying or coming back to #Fedora with the release of #f40, if you find issues with the system or packages in the repos, Don't just whinge on social media, log bugs. Some will be known issues, some might not. It's an important step to making shit better, even if you don't know how to categorise it. The people are nice and usually help triage.
I log bugs, I'm only a user

@npub1sua…szrk I got #RedHat 6 #hedwig off a CD that came with a magazine in 2000. Took me days to get X running on my hardware using my dads computer to dial up the internet to find mailing list threads to get it going.
In the end my #winmodem was what sent me back to Windows. I would try again in 2004 when my university lecturer handed out his customised #Fedora core 2 based live CD that had all the utils we needed for the Unix admin class.

@npub10zm…zrpx fair points, maybe I've been driving it so long I dont notice the quirks anymore?
I'm running plasma6 beta here at the moment, and its a pretty big leap forward too, plenty of performance and refinements

@npub10zm…zrpx yeah, but your statement made it sound like a short coming on the part of KDE, when it's quantifiable not, thus my request for clarification.

2023-12-07 08:56:44

@npub10zm…zrpx that's why your experience is so different to mine. Been daily driving Plasama Wayland since Fedora 35. Gaming and VRR, steamVR too, just on amd side.
It sucks that nvidia wasted so much time, hopefully they can get it all squared away in the next few releases 👍

@npub1t9n…k9e7 FYI the beta firmware has fixed running SDDM under wayland (for #Fedora #KDE and #Kinoite users)
https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/SIG/issue/415

2023-10-14 04:36:17

@npub1t9n…k9e7 if you're running #Fedora #KDE or #Kinoite on an #AMD #framework, you may get a core dump on #sddm resulting in a back screen on boot. Logging in via TTY works.
This stems from Fedora running sddm under wayland (the only distro doing it by default). For now switching back to X11 for sddm solves it

@npub18yv…xxyn if you intended an completely independent distro based soley on the code from suse, then what you're building on is just as important

@npub18yv…xxyn https://mastodon.social/@Defolos/110605192192351928 discusses the viability of performing a rebuild. As I understand it the specifics of the build environment would need to be worked out. Whether suse has gone out of their way to not provide these details or if its just providing "code" to comply and nothing more is unclear from what I have seen

@npub18yv…xxyn
Entirely separate to the code lockup debacle - I think more than anything, this points out who RH considers their customers to be. They only want to convert million dollar deployments.
When you read the articles this links, it also shows how muddled the CentOS Stream messaging is - it is both "not for production" and development, but also the only offering for Small/Medium "non-enterprise" business. If their minimum license is also "not for production" who is it for?

A rising tide raises all boats - if you're going to punish #redhat, make sure you punish all #Linux companies if you can't easily build their entire code tree yourself

@npub188q…3jlx I'm suggesting your opinion has been drawn on a narrow canvas, which you're more than entitled to do. But I am suggesting that is unlike your usual work.

@npub188q…3jlx this doesn't seem as well researched as your usual content.
The is more nuance to this than "you're taking away our clones" and "what will the hobbyists use".
there's been some good blogs by redhatters and former redhatters that have spoken on this topic better than RH themselves and provides a better view than "the sky is falling" we get from the clone cult on reddit and the like

@npub188q…3jlx @npub1rl7…xawh @npub1ur3…kwtl @npub1lny…65xd IIRC the issue with keepass is the same as with firefox lacking native host messaging, and it is a delicate thing to get right, as there are serious security implications. But there are xdg-portals work to do this, just the same as with the permissions that was brought up in your other thread
