Want an example of where Fedora Silverblue 36 trumps the usability of macOS? See the gorgeous new screenshot feature (part of GNOME 42).
1. What do you press to take a screenshot on a Mac? I keep forgetting the silly combination⦠On my machine, itās the Print Screen button.
2. The screenshot feature is entirely intuitive with no hidden functionality; it remembers your choices and lets you record stills or videos.

So this is one of the coolest things about Fedora Silverblue (apart from the excellent stability, speed, and gorgeous stock GNOME 42): the first entry you see is todayās operating system. The second one is yesterdayās. If I wanted to, I could revert to the latter with a single command.
Right, so this has recently been fixed.
If you run into the same issue, go into Terminal and upgrade the operating system from there:
```shell
rpm-ostree upgrade
```
Everything should be back to normal once the upgrade is complete :)
(Thanks to https://github.com/bobslept for the tip.)
The one pain point Iām encountering currently with Fedora Silverblue 36 is with GNOME Software.
It just seems to have lost all its settings and reverted to its original (broken) state.

Linux life hack: say you have a page open in Firefox on your Linux machine and you want to view it on your phone (and you donāt have some fancy integration between the two)ā¦
Instead of typing in the URL, get the FxQRL extension that shows you a QR code of the current tabās URL and aim your phoneās camera at it.
Boom! :)

Very impressed with the performance of Wireguard even on a less than ā¬4/month VPS with 2 VCPUs and 2MB RAM.
(The first set of iperf3 results is without Wireguard, the second with.)
Tiling Assistant is an excellent extension for managing window tiling, including support for gaps.
(Now updated for GNOME 42.)

Somebody reported me to myself, yāall. Howās your day going? :)
Hint: if you donāt like my comparing Israel to Russia, go tell Israel to stop acting like Russia.
(And find out how the fediverse works before you go making an arse of yourself trying to censor me on my own personal instance.)

Is it just me or canāt Fedora Silverblue install Flatpaks downloaded from the web (flatpakref) in GNOME Software?
(This is a valid, decentralised way of distributing software that doesnāt require centralised services like Flathub, etc. and should be supported as a first-class citizen in free and open operating systems.)

GNOME 42 can use wallpapers with light and dark states. To create your own easily, check out Dynamic Wallpaper by DuÅ”an SimiÄ from GNOME Software.

I guess you could say I am very much enjoying Distrobox under Fedora Silverblue ;)
