RPM Fusion is to #Fedora as Nonguix is to Guix.
Since RPM Fusion is unofficial, I'm never sure if I'm using it optimally. Basically, I want to get from it what would have been included from it in Fedora's base Workstation install, if it were available for official use that way.
Introducing Podman AI Lab: Developer tooling for working with LLMs

Missed this one yesterday, but it looks like #Fedora #AsahiRemix 40 is out for #Apple Silicon #Macs. #Fedora40 #Linux #AsahiRemix40 #F40
https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-asahi-remix-40-is-now-available/
Worked on #DistDetect (https://github.com/xtaran/dist-detect) today, added #OpenSSH signatures for #Fedora (21-40; source: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=openssh) and for #openSUSE / SLES (11-15; source: https://software.opensuse.org/package/openssh) confirmed by some real-life examples, as well as some other maintenance chores.
While digging through @shodan results for examples I found a host with OpenSSH 3.4p1 and "Apache/1.3.29 (Linux/SuSE)", i.e. a SLES 8.1 from 2002. 🙈
Folks are enjoying the Fedora and @centos booth at Red Hat Summit this week. Come check out the ThinkPad X1 Carbon and Slimbook Fedora 1 if you're here!
Thanks to Lenovo and Slimbook for these awesome devices that come with Fedora preinstalled!
#Fedora #Lenovo #Slimbook #Linux #OpenSource #SlimbookFedora #RedHatSummit #ThinkPad
In my opinion #GNOME became too big and got too much support from #RedHat, to the point of being arrogant and deciding to abuse #Freedesktop spec like other implementations didn't exist at all.
Major distros, including #Fedora, should in my opinion move to #KDE as default DE since its the most complete Freedesktop implementation and leave GNOME as a flavour people intentionally opt-in.
This would help bringing GNOME down to earth.
With Fedora 40 released, it's time to set our sights on Fedora 41!
Fedora 40 elections are starting with the nomination phase. Check it out if you're interested in running for the Fedora Council, Engineering Steering Committee, Mindshare Committee, or EPEL Steering Committee.
Fedora 41 has some deadlines coming up this summer, starting with infrastructure changes due on June 19.

Silverblue and Fedora Atomic users - here's a guide on how to rebase to Fedora 40.
The graphical example used is for Silverblue, but if you follow the terminal instructions they will work on any Fedora Atomic Desktop. Just pay attention to use the name of your variant where applicable.
If anything goes bad, you can rollback to Fedora 39. Additionally you can pin your current image if you need to go back after a few updates.

Fedora IoT 40 got some cool under-the-hood changes. 
First is that Fedora IoT now uses the unified core model, making them the last rpm-ostree variant to make the switch.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Fedora_IoT_Unified_Core
Second is that Fedora IoT will be the first rpm-ostree variant to be a bootable container image. You will literally be swapping to newer and newer container images when you update, which really emphasizes the idea of atomicity.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Fedora_IoT_Bootable_Container

People trying or coming back to #Fedora with the release of #f40, if you find issues with the system or packages in the repos, Don't just whinge on social media, log bugs. Some will be known issues, some might not. It's an important step to making shit better, even if you don't know how to categorise it. The people are nice and usually help triage.
I log bugs, I'm only a user

If Fedora 40 had a headlining change, it might be @kde Plasma 6. The KDE SIG have brought over all the hard work from that community to give you a solid desktop experience from day 1.
We're also pushing technology forward by making this release Wayland-only, though X11 apps will still work!
Plasma 6 is also available for our Kinoite users. 
Give the Fedora KDE 40 spin a try today!

We are proud of the stable reputation that Fedora Workstation has built over the years. We hope to add to that with Fedora Workstation 40!

Back door xz vulnerability has been officially reverted for @fedora 40 https://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/XZ-Gets-the-All-Clear #malare #XZBackdoor #Fedora #Ubuntu #ArchLinux #Linux #OpenSource #security #patch #Rawhide #FOSS
📦 Fedora thinking about switching to a new package manager | @linuxiac
「 Its usage can test a user’s patience, as its performance lags notably behind Debian’s speedy APT. And comparing it to the swift efficiency of Arch’s Pacman is, frankly, not even a fair contest. However, this could all change in Fedora 41 」
So far, #Fedora Workstation 40 has been a flawless UX. Not a single bug that I've hit.
The Fedora Project will be at Texas Linux Fest! We'll have a booth and some Fedora related talks. And we'll be accompanied by @centos as well. Looking forward to connecting with you at the event!
Texas Linux Fest is a week away, on April 12-13. 🤠

Red Hat released an urgent security alert for Fedora 41 and Rawhide users:
> PLEASE IMMEDIATELY STOP USAGE OF ANY FEDORA 41 OR FEDORA RAWHIDE INSTANCES for work or personal activity.
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/urgent-security-alert-fedora-41-and-rawhide-users
> Although Fedora 40 beta contained the 5.6 version of xz in an update, the build environment prevents the injection from correctly occurring, and has not been shown to be compromised. Fedora 40 has now reverted to the 5.4.x versions of xz.

#fedora #rawhide #redhat #linux
🚨 ⚠️ Emergency PSA: A critical security exploit was discovered in the xz package recently, used for compression and decompression on nearly all Linux distributions.
Rawhide users ARE impacted and should immediately STOP using Rawhide until the package update is fully rolled back. (1/3)
Security Advisory: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/urgent-security-alert-fedora-41-and-rawhide-users
The vulnerability may be present in Fedora 40 but it is not believed to be activated. Fedora 40 users are advised to use caution and update their systems soon when the rolled-back version is available, for more certainty.
Fedora 39 and 38 users are not impacted. (2/3)
Security Advisory: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/urgent-security-alert-fedora-41-and-rawhide-users

👋 Haven't updated my Fedora install in months. Taking bets on whether my system will boot up again.
The world of Fedora Atomic grows with **BlueBuild**, a spin-off of @UniversalBlue that is a newly independent project!
If you've been wanting to build or maintain your own custom image of Fedora Atomic Desktops, this may be another way to explore that interest. Instead of editing a containerfile, you work on a recipe that is then transformed into a containerfile to make the process of getting started easier.
At my parents in law's place I have my 10 year old #ThinkPad X240 with #Fedora Linux and I am using it there when we are there as a guest. Despite the age, still going good. I think there isn't any official Windows support for this ThinkPad anymore due to the age. but Linux just works!
Surely, some JavaScript heavy websites are not blazingly fast, but still usable. Shouldn't surf those sites anyway.
Sure, technically everything works fine on operating systems like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #Debian, #Fedora etc. and all my monitoring, backup and admin infrastructure is #IPv6 only for years. But dealing with clients is something different. I think most clients already support #DualStack, especially within my circle but it could still be annoying for people that are forced to use #IPv4 only.
Introducing Fedora Atomic Desktops. New(ish) brand for our family of atomic spins!

* Fedora Kinoite
* Fedora Sway Atomic (was Sericea)
* Fedora Budgie Atomic (was Onyx)

FYI, I've been "sticking" with #toolbx during my current run of #Fedora #Silverblue and NOT using #distrobox, though I am experimenting with #Podman Desktop.
Pretty cool update for toolbx: built-in support for Arch and Ubuntu
