  1. Fast vergessen ☝️ Hier mein #Fedora Konterfei: Willkommen Fedora 44 und natürlich mit GNOME 50. Endlich.

  2. Fedora Linux 44 ships with GNOME 50 and KDE Plasma 6.6, plus Anaconda changes that simplify post-install network configuration. 🐧
    It also updates key stack components across Workstation and KDE, including MariaDB 11.8, OpenSSL improvements, and Wine NTSYNC support. ⚙️

  3. Tried something new again: installed a fresh copy of Debian 13 and then immediately upgraded it to Debian Sid. I have to say: so far, it’s running remarkably stable and smoothly. Kernel 6.19.14 and GNOME 50—very nice!

    As usual, for privacy and data protection reasons, I’m trying to keep the system lean, with only the absolute essentials: Firefox/Librewolf, LibreOffice, Signal, Nextcloud, Localsend, Tuta, Mullvad VPN, and Freetube as an anonymous YouTube client.

  4. Nuevo post, el más grande que he creado hasta ahora. Aprovechando el reciente lanzamiento de Fedora 44 y la puesta a punto de mi estudio con los Intel NUC, he preparado un tutorial paso a paso. Espero que sea útil.

  5. I think @fedora needs a patch to GNOME Software for enabling repos. I am not sure if this is a bug that's been covered yet?

    GNOME Software -> Software Repositories currently directly edits repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ but the `dnf5 config-manager enable <repo-name>` command creates an override file under /etc/dnf/repo-overrides.d/ directory.

    And if you use Software UI to disable a repo the override file is not removed.

    Toggle "Test Updates" on
    Toggle "Test Updates" off

    Run dnf config-manager enable updates-testing
    Run dnf config-manager disable updates-testing

    Things quickly get out of sysc

    GNOME Software can also get stuck in a loop trying to display the repo list if it loses track.

  6. Easter test weekend, initial findings. 😎

    :fedora: On Fedora 44 Beta GNOME Edition, the file manager crashes every time I try to access my NAS. There are also frequent freezes with apps that weren’t included by default and were installed later.

    :ubuntu: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS also comes with GNOME 50, and unlike Fedora, it already includes kernel 7.0, which is great—especially for the latest hardware. This beta also seems to run more smoothly and stably than Fedora’s beta.

    However, it’s impossible to install or get Flatpaks to work, even though I installed the feature myself.

    It was also absolutely impossible to install the Nextcloud client, neither as a Snap nor as a Flatpak. I couldn’t get AppImage to start, even after making it executable.

    Nevertheless, both distributions already make a great impression and leave me wanting more as soon as they become stable. Ubuntu, in particular, has positively surprised me after many years; major strides have been made, whereas with Fedora, hardly any major changes are noticeable—they’re more under the hood. 👍

    As a big KDE fan-blort, I want to say congratulations to all the Gnome contributors. This looks great! Personally I'm still very jealous of how clean and free of excessive borders Gnome has.

    I hope that they'll expand the parental controls are expanded to include self restriction that can be incredibly useful for ADHD and other neurotypical folks to avoid excessive use of particular apps / features.

  8. Rolled the releases for GNOME 50 today (a bit early, but I'll be busy all day tomorrow):

    Maps 50.0
    libshumate 1.6.0

    and also a (small) bugfix 49.5 on the (old) stable branch.

    Didn't yet do a write-up about the new stuff, guess that'll have to be done sometime soonish, too… 😎

  9. Just rolled the RC tarballs for Maps and libshumate for the upcoming GNOME 50 relase

    gnome-maps 50.rc
    libshumate 1.6.rc

    Changes include support for getting localized results for public transit routing (using Transitous).
