Another release of #Fedora is coming up, and once again I see almost nothing for #Silverblue or #Kinoite in the changelog. TBH, Fedora Atomic has kind of a ghost ship vibe https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/44/ChangeSet

#Ubuntu da alcance a #Silverblue y ya pide 16GB de RAM para garantizar la soltura con el sistema. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/04/ubuntu-2604-system-requriments

#Fedora #Linux

Ubuntu quietly raises its minimum system requirements - OMG! Ubuntu

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS raises its minimum RAM requirement to 6GB, the first increase since 2019. Systems with less memory still work, but the experience may suffer.

Another app where this happened: LocalSend. Flatseal says it already had access to xdg-downloads, but it did not. Turning on access to all userfiles (filesystem=home) did not help. I had to turn on access to all systemfiles for it to be able to send a file from my Downloads folder.

I’m already looking forward to the new version especially #GNOME50. Thanks to #Silverblue, updating my home system should go smoothly.

#nix is now packaged for #Fedora! This also means it works again on #Silverblue following the system changes introduced in Silverblue 42(?) — great news . Tested it, and my nix-based development environments appear to function correctly. However, legacy nix is not supported.

It seems like my Fedora Silverblue came with no video player or music player installed by default? And no question while setting it up about which players I want to install either?

Is this how it's meant to be? If so, I guess I have my answer to my previous question of whether Silverblue is meant for more technical users. Unless the thinking is that normal people only watch videos and play music in the browser and with streaming apps?

Is Fedora Silverblue meant for power users?

Because so far I've had to do some very unintuitive things with Flatseal to get two different apps to work. And Flatseal was not installed by default, I think, and there was no hint that I needed to use a different app to change settings, or what I should do.

I did not have this issue with Gnome OS, which is almost 100% Flatpak based.
