I had a nice trip with @sesivany from Prague to Brno. We just found out at the #Fedora 40 release party yesterday that we were taking the same train. We shared travel stories and Jiří gave me some good advice for my trip. Děkuji
Homebrew is now installed for you with the latest images of Bluefin, Aurora, and Bazzite. We don't have to strongly recommend installing it anymore because it's right there!
Homebrew is a great package manager especially for CLI apps. Give it a whirl if you haven't already.
Registration is now open for the Fedora 40 release party! Come join us as we learn what's new, what's coming, and what else is going on in the community!
For Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we want to recognize the work being done on accessibility by @matt as part of the @gnome Foundation. He is the lead for @accesskit and is currently working on Newton, a Wayland-oriented solution for assistive technologies that can modernize accessibility on the Linux desktop!
Linux distro's heading to where macOS today: where the root filesystem is mostly immutable, but not entirely. #ChromeOS arrived there a decade ago, but everyone seems to be moving in the same direction.
PSA: Fedora Linux 38 will reach end of life on May 21, next Tuesday.
Time to start upgrading. Fedora 39 will be supported for up to one month after the release of Fedora 41 (~6 months). Fedora 40 will be supported until a month after Fedora 42 (~12 months).
I'm having a hell of a day with Firefox today (and part of yesterday). Since 126.0 was released many websites make Firefox crash (for example opening images here in Mastodon but also a Grafana dashboard and others). All in Gnome with Wayland and Ubuntu 24.04. Are other people having the same issues? #Firefox#Ubuntu#Wayland#Gnome
@adelgado I've had no problems with #Firefox 126.0 but I'm on #Fedora 40 with #GNOME & #Wayland. IIRC this can happen when you did not close all instances of Firefox $previous_version. Try closing all Firefox windows and also make sure that there are no lingering instances ($ ps ax | grep firefox). Then start Firefox again and see if that helps.
I am getting a new computer for an elderly and to be able to support it, I'm removing the Windows and want to install a #Linux distro. They have previously used Ubuntu Budgie for about 4 years. Which one of these distros do you suggest for lower maintenance burden in the long run?
@Mehrad
I think you should clarify #fedora atomic desktop, not server or workstation. #bluefindesktop and #Kinoite are specifically designed for low maintenance.
Why dnf upgrade on #Fedora 39 shows me red lines of packageName replacing packageName (name being the same), but only for some? I know a thing or two on Linux #packaging, but not RPM.
@John_Livingston
Une mise à jour récente ?!?
Il y a peut-être un sujet à propos du passage de certaines distributions Linux (#Ubuntu, #Fedora...) à #Wayland au lieu de #X11 pour le rendu graphique...
One of my absolutely favorite Linux utilities is "sshfs", that allows you to mount other machine's file systems locally over ssh. I use it everywhere, between Linux machines, Chromebooks, and even sometimes Windows boxes. Absolutely brilliant and incredibly easy to setup and use compared with various other file system sharing models.
I decided to try building #FreeCAD from source. I used a F39 toolbox on my #Fedora 40 #Silverblue and installed the prereqs; most from packages, but pyside2 from pip (inside the toolbox) since it hasn't been packaged in Fedora for years. The segfault I'm getting from libshiboken isn't illuminating to me. I could imagine a missing dependency on a package causing a segfault, or maybe no one is building FreeCAD on Fedora and it just doesn't work on F39. 🤔
Not clear that I'm close enough to the beaten path for this to be worth a bug report, though. Quite likely PEBCAK...
