Easter test weekend, initial findings. 😎

On Fedora 44 Beta GNOME Edition, the file manager crashes every time I try to access my NAS. There are also frequent freezes with apps that weren’t included by default and were installed later.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS also comes with GNOME 50, and unlike Fedora, it already includes kernel 7.0, which is great—especially for the latest hardware. This beta also seems to run more smoothly and stably than Fedora’s beta.

However, it’s impossible to install or get Flatpaks to work, even though I installed the feature myself.

It was also absolutely impossible to install the Nextcloud client, neither as a Snap nor as a Flatpak. I couldn’t get AppImage to start, even after making it executable.

Nevertheless, both distributions already make a great impression and leave me wanting more as soon as they become stable. Ubuntu, in particular, has positively surprised me after many years; major strides have been made, whereas with Fedora, hardly any major changes are noticeable—they’re more under the hood. 👍

I use a PiKVM for work to control access to a small build lab, they really are excellent little devices and a very cool project - the team are super responsive and helpful on their Discord server.

By default, the PiKVM uses an H264 protocol to stream content from the device to your browser... guess what isn't enabled / available in Firefox on Fedora 44 beta ??

#Fedora44beta and #gnome50 is running smoothly. Even the extensions are running without problems (using the trick of editing the metadata files). The only thing I found strange was that Google Drive disappeared from Nautilus... If anyone knows how to fix it, I'd appreciate it.

#Fedora44beta tá bem de boas. #gnome50 rodando liso. Até as extensões rodando sem problemas (fazendo o truque de edição dos arquivos metadata). Única coisa que achei estranho foi que o Google drive sumiu do Nautilus... Se alguém souber como resolver, agradeço.
