Help us test DNF 5.2 in Fedora Rawhide! In these test days we're focusing on the ability to do a system upgrade, so it's very important to catch any bugs.
@10leej There should be info in the article for where the Quality team is talking about these Test Days. We would say to go hard (unless they say things are out of scope)? We want squashed bugs!
We're excited to hear about the community updates that will be presented at the Fedora 40 Release Party. 😬 We'll learn about the Mentored Projects initiative, the git forge investigation, EPEL 10, and Week of Diversity!
@Corb_The_Lesser It is technically possible to have a live mode on Fedora Atomic Desktops, but that has not been implemented. It's an area where the Fedora Atomic Desktops SIGs could use contributions, but otherwise it's just not something they've been able to get around to.
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!
The Fedora Accessibility Working Group is looking to work closer with upstream as we aim to improve accessibility on Fedora. If you are interested in joining, participating, collaborating, or sharing your experience, please reach out with the Fedora DEI tag on our forum.
As we make our five (now four) year plan more concrete, we want to come back to the high level goal and measures that help us to understand what we are doing, why, and if we are being effective.
TL;DR - We’re going to double the number of contributors who are active every week.
On top of the great work that @AsahiLinux and the Fedora Asahi SIG do, they've also worked to line up releases with the rest of Fedora, so thank you for that!
This release brings:
OpenGL 4.6
High quality audio out of the box
Plasma, Gnome, Server, and Minimal variants available
@itsoulos@AsahiLinux There are two layers, the differences that Asahi brings with this update and then that new non-DE specific things that are a part of Fedora 40 in general. This article has some of the Fedora Asahi things and the general announcement has the details for what's new in Fedora 40.
@moashy_mango BlueBuild may be able to help with that, but Fedora MATE could also be an option. If you have more specific feedback on the state of accessibility in Fedora, please let us know.
Anyone from #fedora#atomic images are they all long term supported if not which one is considered LTS? I don't know much about Fedora or its ecosystem. Been mostly debian/ubuntu/arch linux over the decades.
@Corb_The_Lesser@talesofaprinny It may be a little more involved to specifically choose one version to upgrade to vs another, and unfortunately outside the scope of what I as the person writing this post knows.
Bluefin from @UniversalBlue manages this for users so that you will always be one version behind the latest major release by design. Might be the easiest way to run your system at that pace.
