  1. Fedora 43 and RPM 6.0, JPEG-XL wallpapers, and more…

    While Fedora 42 is still in works, which is expected to release in April, Fedora 43 has been planned for major changes, such as adding support for RPM 6.0, wallpapers that are in the JPEG-XL format, and much more to come. Fedora 43 will feature the following big changes:

    • Fedora 43, starting from that version, will use RPM 6.0 package manager, which will improve security across many aspects by introducing enforced signature checking for packages, OpenPGP key handling improvements, support for multiple signatures per package, automatic packag signing at build time, and signing with Sequoia-sq as an alternative to GnuPG.
    • JPEG-XL will be used as a default for desktop wallpapers as these files come in smaller sizes than wallpapers that use the PNG format. This proposal was filed on March 10th, 2025, and remains to be seen if it’s going to be accepted.
    • The GNU Gold linker from the binutils project will be deprecated to reduce the amount of legacy code as packages start to drop the GNU Gold linker in favor of better linkers.
    • The Rust bindings for GTK3 will be deprecated because they are not maintained upstream. That was because gtk-rs-core version 0.19 and 0.20 have deprecated the compatibility bindings for version 0.18 and older.
    • The lastlog2 module will be used as an alternative to the older lastlog module for last user login information, because the improved version contains a very important fix for the Year 2038 problem for programs that use dates as 32-bit time representations. It also provides a native library and a PAM module to allow applications to accurately track the last login date and time for a specific user.

    However, not all proposals will be accepted, but we hope that the majority of them will be accepted. If positive feedback has been emerged, and if the above proposals are accepted, that will improve the user experience for Fedora 43 users, which will be released this fall.

  2. Well that was an easy upgrade. Thanks to everyone involved in getting #fedora34 out!

  3. I have discovered a bugbear with #Fedora34. With #KDE, it uses the #discover #updater and for some bizarre reason, that requires the system to restart even for #software that doesn’t need a system restart. That seems very wasteful of time. I think I’ll just use #dnf on the #CommandLine in future.

  5. On #KDE #Fedora34 I like the new updating programme, #discover, which provides more information that the former #packagekit.

  7. #Upgraded to #Fedora34 overnight. The process went smoothly and quicker than my past few. My desktop defaulted to #Plasma #Wayland, as I use #KDE but there are still a few issues with that. The #X11 version is fine for now.

  9. Decides to spend the rest of the afternoon on a clean install of on his desktop machine. :fedora: :linux:

  10. #fedora34 got released!
    Upgrading was not trivial this time.. I used so far xdm, but with that only got into kde sessions with 1024x768, I switched to kdm as I anyway run plasma as window manager since some time.
    Also: pipewire replaced pulseaudio. Now dbus.service and pipewire.service need to run as user. For my user, service unit files had been deployed by no longer used software, which prevented also dbus from running. If no sound, check 'systemctl --user status dbus pipewire'.

  11. So, I tried today and I didn't expect to be disappointed, but here I am. I don't like , in fact it is making me consider a different distro and different DE for a laptop that I have that currently runs Fedora. Lately, with the kernel has really been my favorite. But, I don't want 2 machines with the same distro. So, the search for another distro continues. I think may be a contender.

  12. Buona sera les mastodoniens ! ✌️
    J'ai besoin d'un tuyau...
    J'ai commencé à utiliser #Fedora ce soir.
    Pour mon plus grand plaisir, #Fedora34 est très beau, et en tant que fan de #gnome, je suis comblé.

    Et donc je crée une question en creux, dans un sondage, installation-softs-fedora :
    (j'avoue, j'aime pas #gnomesoftware) ((j'écarte le thème que j'utilise aussi flatpak et snapd pour certains softs))

  13. Is there a way for #telegram to respect the theme of my system? It really looks lame.
    #flatpak #fedora34 #gnome #gtk

  14. What am I doing right now you ask? Nothing much.

  15. Now that #Fedora34 is out, in #FedoraMagazine they published an article about transparent Btrfs compression, and at the end there's a little guide on how to activate it in case you have updated from #Fedora33 😉️
