Upgraded my main workstation from #Fedora40 to #Fedora42. Smooth experience overall, with just a couple of quirks:
1. Globally installed #Python packages haven't survived the upgrade and had to be re-installed
2. The latest version of #Fedora that #veracrypt publishes a package for is 40. This was the main reason I didn't upgrade to #fedora41. But version 40 got too close to EOL, so I had to learn how to build VeraCrypt from source code.

I've been using #Fedora40 #Kinoite on my #T480 for about a year. I think it would be a great distro for a work laptop!

It's nice to know if there is an update problem, you can just boot back to the previous update, but I haven't ever needed to do that.

Most apps you need are available on #Flathub. If you need to set up a dev environment, #Podman and #Toolbox work well!

On top of that, the #Fedora and #KDE communities are capable and friendly, so help is available.

Since a few days now, #Fedora40 and #dnf does not run dracut after installing a kernel. So kernel and stuff end up in /boot, but no initramfs, hence kernel panic at boot-up (it still makes the new kernel the default, meh).

This now happened for the second time, it started with 6.11.11-200.fc40.x86_64 and now happened again with 6.12.4-100.fc40.x86_64. /boot is not full.

Logfiles were not helpful, no obvious errors, and dnf doesn't complain. Manually running dracut helps tho.

Anyone else?

@claudiom I just upgraded a #Fedora40 sytstem to #Kernel 6.12.4 and it won't boot, because it can't find the root fs. (I'll start looking at it in a few minutes.) I wonder if it's the same problem.
soo uh I did a dumb ig. I nuked my old windows install praying that it would see the new one.... nopeeee.

Well I have linux here but im trying to duel boot this other thing. Grub is kinda installed? Also my linux seems kinda borked and missing a lot of stuff.

Uh so none of the grub commands work and im missing the /dev/sda folder and its all broken idk what I did. Any ideas?

На старому макбуці була встановлена #fedora40 та дуже подобалась її робота на #gnome захотілося на великий комп. Поставив 41 типу прогрес! ...... Регрес прийшлось перевстановити 40 бо гальма та глюки в порівнянні. Не торопитися оновлювати давно ж навчали

#Bastion lo sé, es un juego de hace años...pero amo los juegos "bonitos", simples y disfrutables también... además lo compré en #steam hace años y aún no lo pasé 🤓

Y lo más lindo... #playOnLinux 🐧🎮 en mi #LenovoThinkbook14G7 con #Fedora40 + #KDE

Buen fin de semana a tod@s! 🎉🎉

In praise of #kanshi on #sway: I have a multiple monitor setup on #Fedora #Fedora40. Running under X11 I've had many problems with getting all the monitors configured. Using #kanshi, I'm able to just log in to the #sway desktop and #kanshi just takes care of the monitor configuration. Very nice!
Con #Fedora40 + #kde encontré la mejor optimización. El rendimiento de la batería mejoró, el sistema funciona todo más ligero y las transiciones de las ventanas son mucho más fluidas.
El teclado Bluetooth se desconecta en menor medida pero se reconecta inmediatamente, y en simultáneo con otros como mouse #logitechErgoLift y #logitechZone300 se automutea al levantar el mic.
El lector de huella digital también va bien.
Utilizo #virtualbox #Slack #Proxmox #waterfox #chromium #LogSeq #steam
@abslutebeginner buenas! Hace unos días me compré la #lenovoThinkbook14G7 ARP (AMD). Con #ryzen7_7735hs, #Radeon680M 16gb RAM, 512 nvme...vino con Windows 11 Pro...no lo usé e instalé Pop!_OS 22.04 tuve varios bugs con Bluetooth, con la terminal, y la batería se agotaba increíblemente rápido.
Cambié a #Fedora40 y no tuve ni un sólo problema. Steam corre perfecto, conecto tres dispositivos por Bluetooth. Me encanta la notebook 😁😁
⚠️ La batería no dura mucho pero sí notablemente más que con Pop!
