Yay, KDE Plasma version 6.4 did already land in Fedora 42 KDE Edition

What an amazing and well polished release. Not a revolution, but great stability as well as solid quality-of-life improvements.

Thank you @kde
and @fedora for delivering such an amazing Desktop experience

Let’s build docs together!

GitHub Actions can come in handy for lots of things, and Python development is one of them! You can set up a CI pipeline to test against different versions of Python and make your app more reliable.

This guide is good for Fedora, CentOS, and RHEL.

ah-HA!

```
$ test -f ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring && echo "Have 'login' keyring"
$
```

Now, what to do about it? Time to poke #Fedora bears.

Bien bien bien.
Et si je vous dis que je vais encore changer de distribution Linux ?

Zoom ne fonctionne pas correctement sur Fedora KDE Wayland.

Donc, j'envisage de retourner sur Mint et y paramétrer un bureau KDE Plasma 6 Wayland.

Vous croyez que ça peut le faire ou bien je vais encore me retrouver avec Zoom non fonctionnel ? (Ça fonctionnait parfaitement sur Mint en bureau X11)

yesterday in #fedora qa:
* last day of #devconf_cz , had a great time! good to see everybody there and meet some new (to me) folks
* apart from that, head down working on my new approach for reverse dependency and installability testing, based on lying to dnf repoclosure. I think it's going to be viable, and maybe allow us to have gating checks! I'm just finishing up the test suite, then I'll publish it and start testing it on #ELN updates in #openqa for now

#SIP ist Voodoo! Mein Versuch, die Hardware-Telefone inklusive oller #FritzBox loszuwerden, ist ein steiniger Weg.

#linphone unter #Android war noch halbwegs einfach und ist seit einer Woche im stabilen Testbetrieb.

Graue Haare macht(e) mir #GnomeCalls unter #Fedora. Da ging tagelang gar nichts, bis ich irgendwann auf den Gedanken gekommen bin, es mal auf dem #librem5 zu probieren. Da taten exakt die selben Parameter sofort.

Jetzt geht es auch mit Fedora, aber ich hab nix ausprobiert, was ich zuvor nicht schon x-mal vergeblich getestet hatte. Dafür geht es gerade auf dem librem5 nicht mehr. Kein Schimmer, was da los ist.

So in my various linux OS adventures, I've recently been exploring #Bazzite (a gaming-focussed version of Linux). Running games on it is, for the most part, pretty painless (With the caveat that I am running older games on what used to be a mid/low-end gaming laptop that's 5 or 6 years old at this point)

HOWEVER, trying to use Bazzite as a normal linux distro has been unpleasant. I don't know if it's #KDE or Bazzite (or #Fedora, upon which Bazzite is based), but alt-tabbing between active windows (like between a game and a browser window or discord) has about an 80% chance of freezing so hard the whole OS locks up.

And trying to find info on how to fix things in Bazzite is a whole lot of "We don't support that, so you're on your own" from the Bazzite forums and stuff, and in Fedora forums, there's a whole lot of elitism and gatekeeping and very few answers (compared to debian forums) because whatever is wrong is obviously the fault of the user who should already know everything about how to use linux

Saw @fedora 's #Fedora #Linux #42 towel at #DevConf_CZ .

Kudos to those who had the idea and implemented it!! This is awesome

And of course a big thank you to all #Fedora contributors out there for their work for #SoftwareFreedom!

How to use Authselect to configure PAM in Fedora Linux

Fully edited an episode of Clown College Podcast with #davinciresolve Studio on @fedora Workstation. If I can manage it, it is 100% feasible for a large portion of people to easily leave #Windows #endof10 #foss #linux #fedora

There's still time to contribute to the Linux Kernel 6.15 test days for Fedora!

Testing ends on Sun, Jun 15.

> Libre operating systems: We are happy that two projects have chosen to rely on our platform for their development

> Last year, the Fedora operating system has decided to choose Forgejo as their new development platform, entering a

Some things I find frustrating with my new #thinkpad X1C G12 and #fedora 42 (#silverblue #bluefin)

#1 > Camera doesn't work. I applied some akmod packages but it's still not working

#2 > Resolution differences between my 4k monitor and the laptop display causes window rendering issues for apps like Telegram, Slack & Obsidian (I've to reopen apps when I switch between monitors)

#3 > Having issues with solaar losing track of my BLE devices (restarting solaar fixes it)

Hooray, parallel downloading of repository metadata was merged for #dnf!

Lately #OpenSuse #Tumbleweed has been super unstable for me, with random (LONG) lags of #KDE UI and weird crashes while gaming...
I jumped on #Fedora and all the problems magically disappeared.

I am still somehow disappointed, how bad the experience on SUSE was and how little people complained about it. Found just couple of forum posts with people complained about similar issues, but without any solutions or interest.

I thought I like living on the edge, but as I get more rl responsibilities, I don't have that much time nor patience to figure out everything and would like things to sometimes "just work". Figuring out is still fun, but time is a big factor here.

I guess #Linux things
