Fedora KDE gets approval to be upgraded to sit alongside Fedora Workstation

Fedora Core 1 was the first version of Fedora and was released on November 6, 2003. It was code-named Yarrow.

I Tried Updating Fedora Offline. Here's How it Went

Can Fedora Linux be updated offline? The short answer is yes. But it has many ifs and buts.

Bazzite is getting support for some OneXPlayer devices, improving battery on standby for ROG Ally and Ally X, and seeing some other tweaks for controller support.

Bazzite Update: OneXPlayer Support + Ally Goodies

Hi everyone, we just released a large update that adds great support for almost all recent OneXPlayer devices, a bunch of new battery saving and VRR features for the Ally, and Steam Controller emulation + bug fixes for all devices.

^{Universal Blue}

for me yes. I don't like snaps. I prefer an up to date kernel. I like not waiting months for updated packages. Getting things like pipewire early was great. The immutable version is perfect for some folks or you can use regular workstation if it doesn't fit your criteria. DNF output is easier to read for me than APT, especially when updating lots of packages.

Linux vs Windows being head to head on performance is crazy. The conversation around desktop Linux is changing, and more and more people are listening!

Thank you to @killyourfm for this great article on Forbes about our performance, to @frameworkcomputer for being a wonderful platform to enable this, to the Fedora contributors for literally making Fedora Linux, and to the Linux community at large! 🚀

8 Best KDE Based Linux Distributions

KDE is one of the most customizable and fastest desktop environments out there. Here are some of the best distros that provide a KDE variant.

^{Ankush Das (It's FOSS)}

Unfortunately I no longer have one.

It was #Ubuntu for the last decade or longer.
Now they ruined their installers, so I can't install it on encrypted Btrfs anymore.
I also dislike that they are trying to vendor lock-in their users with snapd. I would be fine with snaps if they would allow third-party repositories and made the device-serial optional.

I am now using #Fedora on my desktop and homeserver. Overall it's a great distribution, but I can't stand the rolling (kernel) updates.

“Buh, Aral, #Fedora is a volunteer project… you a nasty bum-bum criticising us for shipping an operating system without a functional screen reader by default for EIGHT YEARS…”

Meanwhile, in reality: “The Fedora Project is not a separate legal entity or organization; Red Hat retains liability for its actions.”

Who owns Red Hat?

#IBM.

What is IBM? A 150 billion-dollar corporation.

Cut the “we’re volunteers” bullshit, acknowledge your ableist culture, and do better.
