I am testing #Fedora 38 #KDE. I followed the wiki on how to set up #fcitx, but it doesn't work (switching input method is a no-op and typing just types English).
I tried the same thing on Fedora 37 with the same results, and Fedora 36 didn't work at the time either.
I've asked in their forums and plenty of places, and never found a solution.
This is the third major release where following the instructions to set up an input method doesn't work.

Auch so'n bisschen nervig:
#Darktable sagt "wir supporten diese Kamera ab 4.irgendwas"
#Exiv2 sagt "wir können das seit 0.27.4"
#Fedora sagt "wees ich nich digga".Und bis man an der Stelle ist um rauszufinden *warum* das nicht geht (hier: Vermutung von (inzwischen abgelaufenen) Patenten) bin ich halt wieder 'ne halbe Stunde produktive Arbeit los :-(
Und da hab ich "Flatpak vs RPM ausprobieren" und "mal nach #RawTherapee schauen" noch nichtmal mit drin! Auf die Idee kam ich auch erst, weil RawTherapee mir für die gleichen Bilder keine Metadaten anzeigt.

Upgrading Fedora on my home desktop PC last night was a bit more exciting than usual. It's a bit of a Ship of Theseus PC and has gone through several hardware upgrades and many, many incremental distro upgrades since the last clean install, which appears to have been Fedora 31 from way back in 2019. These upgrades have generally gone smoothly, but after running the upgrade from Fedora 42 to 43 I was left with a computer where GDM would crash on startup, leaving me with an unresponsive black screen instead of a login prompt.
Fortunately a bit of searching led me to the root cause and the fix, and I was able to SSH in and get the machine working again. It's a bit of a corner case that only affects machines that were originally running Fedora 35 or older, and somehow missed the migration to authselect that should have happened automatically when upgrading to Fedora 36: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/gdm-crashes-after-upgrade-to-fedora-43-due-to-authselect-migration/171961

The mainline-wo-mergew copr of the #kernel vanilla repositories[1] for #Fedora #Linux now ship 6.12 pre-releases that have the #BPF extensible scheduler class aka #sched_ext"[2] enabled, just like Fedora Rawhide will do with the next push of a new #LinuxKernel.
Many thx to Jose Fernandez for realizing this![3]

What would it take for the Atomic Desktops to be the default option in Fedora?
I tried to answer that question in my talk at this year's Flock to Fedora conference.

Fedora 41 Beta has been released! 🎉
https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-linux-41-beta/TL,DR: Hold on a bit before using bootupd on the Atomic Desktops and IoT.
We still have one major bug that will break systems upgrading from Fedora 40. The fix should land hopefully in tomorrow's update.
This only impacts updated systems and does not impact fresh Fedora 41 installations.

Taking the liberty to cross-post my involvement with Fedora Flatpaks; originally posted on Fedora Discourse.
4 years ago, I discovered Fedora Flatpaks, and developed a strong interest with the tech and approach behind it. After having a thorough understanding of it, I wrote two detailed articles about Fedora Flatpaks:
- https://fedoramagazine.org/an-introduction-to-fedora-flatpaks/ (2021/12/22)
- https://fedoramagazine.org/comparison-of-fedora-flatpaks-and-flathub-remotes/ (2022/02/09)
Mind you, I also designed the banners (just highlighting how much I cared about promoting it back then).
I also asked to open a Matrix room (2022/01/01), which was rejected:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/matrix-room-request-for-fedora-flatpaks/35622
As time went by, I started losing interest, because there wasn’t much progress with the project, and it was duplicating effort that could have otherwise heavily benefited Flathub and every party involved (GNOME, KDE, elementary, freedesktop.org, Endless Foundation, etc.), which would have benefited Fedora, too.
This realization led me to write “Where Fedora Linux Could Improve § Only Ship Unfiltered Flathub by Default”, which criticized the lack of progress with it, as well as addressing one of the “legal concerns” (2022/12/06):
(Side note: I’ve also heard from Flathub folks that they received legal advice in regards to these issues.)
This led to some community members to react and start the Flatpak SIG project, to accelerate development — 2 days after my blog post (2022/12/08):
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=SIGs/Flatpak&oldid=662603
Then, a Matrix room was (finally) created and publicly available (2022/12/10):
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=SIGs/Flatpak&diff=prev&oldid=663009
By the way, I was never reached out or invited to join the SIG, despite putting in so much effort and time to accelerate development.
However, despite that, I still tried to participate in the project, and added myself to the SIG as well:
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=SIGs/Flatpak&diff=prev&oldid=663089
Any of my suggestions then were either rejected with no proper explanation, shrugged off, or sent to
/dev/null. And whenever I asked for source for obvious misinformation, it would be dismissed.I tried to push Fedora Flatpaks in a direction that would have been less controversial and more productive by limiting its scope, which would also enable us to allocate more resources on other stuff. However, once again, I wasn’t really taken seriously; at least I personally don’t feel like so.
Eventually, I lost every last bit of interest and removed myself from the SIG (2023/02/20):
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=SIGs/Flatpak&diff=prev&oldid=669108
All this to say, I tried really hard to keep my opinions to myself, and communicate diplomatically with them; I even wrote articles after doing several hours of researches in the span of weeks to show my interest, but I was treated extremely unfairly in return. So this naturally led me to one conclusion which I still hold today: they’re not looking for diplomacy; they just want to do whatever they want, even if it ends up upsetting/hurting people and projects’ image — I have the same sentiment with RPM packagers, too.

Anyone here that cares about all of the following or knows someone who does:
* #s390
* #Fedora
* #LinuxKernelI'm wondering if its worth enabling s390 for some or all of my kernel vanilla coprs[1]. It's likely not much work for me, but well, why waste the builder's time and energy if no one cares in the end anyway.

#nix is now packaged for #Fedora! This also means it works again on #Silverblue following the system changes introduced in Silverblue 42(?) — great news . Tested it, and my nix-based development environments appear to function correctly. However, legacy nix is not supported.

I always wondered if #systemd can already handle the problem that Canonical tries to solve with #stubble, its "secure-boot friendly device-tree loading EFI stub"[1] (which, in short, makes one installer image work on different ARM devices that need a DTB to boot, like Qualcomm Snapdragon X based notebooks).
Turns out it mostly can, as @pid_eins recently explained on a Fedora mailing list over separate posts in one thread; and it even does so without bundling the kernel with all the various DTBs, which stubble does and won't scale in the long term.
See for example: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/AUTJ2EUXLU7OC6QLBA7OEDOTNOBKWYA3/; to quote:
"sd-stub loads/authenticates them before handing control to the kernel, so that from the kernel's PoV the DTBs
are just there."For more details, checkout the full thread: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/6ZFDN7EYWODACSFLKAY3T45WL5KI6DEY/#AUTJ2EUXLU7OC6QLBA7OEDOTNOBKWYA3

#Fedora is currently discussing a proposal to replace the #kernel console #fbcon with the userspace console #kmscon in its next version, "to provide an enhanced and more secure console.
The long term goal is also to deprecate fbcon/fbdev emulation in the kernel, and this is the first step in this direction.""

je ne sais même pas ou chercher, dsl -
If you're on Fedora 42 and use multiple keyboard layouts with a custom keybinding to switch between them — hold off on upgrading to Fedora 43. ⚠️
There's a regression in GNOME affecting layout switching. Wait until this fix is backported to GNOME 49 and lands in Fedora:

Every once in a while, #Fedora is hit by a fairly consequential bug.
In this case, for #AtomicFedora distros like #Silverblue, we now have a Secure Boot failure due to an out-of-date bootloader.
I didn't know about the bug for weeks because I had Secure Boot turned off (and that's one way to get around it).
Like every other time such a showstopper bug has appeared in Fedora, the community has found and promoted a fix, which in this case involves entering a series of commands in the terminal. That fix has been floating around for a while in Fedora Discussion:
I did it, and I can confirm that it works.
And now there is a Fedora Magazine post on the issue with a different fix — one that I think I like a little bit better:
This is a pretty terrible bug — especially for non-technical users — though I don't think Silverblue is at the "stable for regular users" stage.
What I learned from the Fedora Magazine article is that in the way Silverblue is put together, SHIM and Grub are not regularly (or ever) updated, and newer kernels don't include the older key that those bootloading programs use to verify their origin. Hence, no booting.
For Secure Boot users, there was always at least one bootable image remaining in the system, and that could be used until the user performed the manual fix (or turned off Secure Boot).
In my case, I only turned on Secure Boot after the fact to check for this bug, and my "good" image was long gone. But since the fix worked, I was able to turn Secure Boot back on and boot successfully. (Since then I've turned Secure Boot off again so i can boot OpenBSD on my second hard drive.)
It's another example of the openness and helpfulness of Fedora developers and users (the Friends part of the Four Foundations https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/#_what_is_fedora_all_about).
And I do like seeing that a permanent fix — in the form of enabling an updatable bootupd — will hopefully land in Fedora 41.
