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

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.

god-awful installer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
