Táta za mnou přišel, že potřebuje nový notebook. Po pěti letech se na jeho současném HPčku projevují znaky používání. Protože příprava Windows nešla úplně dobře, domluvili jsme se, že zkusíme Fedoru Silverblue. A o tom je dnešní video.
It's funny it came with pre-installed Windows even though I specifically ordered it without OS. Windows are gone now. #Fedora #Silverblue rules the computer now.
So last night, I tried Fedora 43. Fedora-Workstation-Live-43-1.6.x86_64.iso. The installer is now web based, making it really nice to use, even with just Tab and Shift + Tab. I was able to install it with no problem.
Now, first time setup had just one big issue, the timezone selector. It's keyboard accessible, and works like this: you start typing a city name, like Chicago, and then down arrow through suggestions and press Enter on the one you want. But Orca doesn't speak that there are suggestions available, and does not read which suggestion you select until you press Enter.
Other than that, Gnome desktop looks pretty good these days! The settings are much better, and that's about all I had time to test so far. Orca starts if you hit Alt Windows S at the installer and first setup, then starts after first setup is complete. The overview panel where you type to search doesn't read when it opens, but basically you just hit the Windows key and start typing what you want, and Orca reads what you hand on, and you can arrow through results. Notifications read too, and I'm thankful Gnome supports notifications.
The Fedora community is coming together once again to celebrate the release of Fedora Linux 43, and you’re invited! Join us on Friday, November 21, 2025, from 13:00 to 16:00 UTC on Matrix for our virtual Fedora 43 Release Party.
Hey #Fedora community. A friend of a friend is looking for a Fedora10 pin and/or a sticker or some other merch with the Fedora10 branding on it. Can you help me with that? I know 2008 was ages ago:)
So I'm using LibreOffice 25.8.2.2 on Fedora Workstation 43 GNOME 49. For some privacy reasons I'll not be able to attach the entire PDF. However, I can show the page 15 that I was trying to open using LibreOffice Draw in image form.
It contains a combination of Bengali & English language and numerals.
There's currently an issue that prevents Fedora Atomic OSTree distros from upgrading.
A comment in the forum links to an issue, where the *preview* title for the link was changed to "Making sure you're not a bot!" from the issue tracker… and the issue itself is also due to Anubis running on the server for the updates sending the interstitial "Making sure you're not a bot!" page instead of actual data.
Every time I run sudo rpm-ostree upgrade I get the error: error: While pulling fedora/43/x86_64/updates/kinoite: Corrupted commit object; checksum expected='10ed48669028567c29acfda34e70290581e1c8d4f4538d79bea36c03710a4cf6' actual='160e1991dc7aceede2…
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:
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):
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):
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.
The Fedora Project is a great organization to gain experience no matter the team you are in. I am currently a part of the Fedora Websites & Apps team improving my technical writing, communication and design skills.
If you are not yet convinced that Fedora Flatpaks is a hostile 'alternative' to Flathub, here's a good one for you:
An indeterminate amount of their packages are, in fact, directly based on existing manifests from Flathub. Not by manually inspecting code themselves; rather, by running a script which goes through Flathub's APIs and parses the respective apps' manifest to generate manifests for Fedora Flatpaks: pagure.io/flatpak-module-tools…
Již tento víkend se v Brně koná @openalt a tam nebude chybět. Nejenže tam budeme mít stánek, ale v programu najdete i několik přednášek, které se #Fedora týkají. 👇
* New Anaconda WebUI installer * Automatic updates for Kinoite (which is based on Fedora KDE) * Latest updates from @kde Plasma 6.4.5 with improvements in tiling, color management, accessibility, and more!
Fedora has released Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop Edition 43 to the public. The Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop Edition is well suited for many needs. It combines the reliable and trusted Fedora Linux base with the KDE Plasma Desktop environment.
Fedora Linux 43 is here! What do you get with this update?
* New Anaconda WebUI installer on all desktop editions and spins * @gnome 49 and being Wayland only * Fedora CoreOS now based on bootc instead of rpm-ostree * Under the hood changes like RPM 6.0 * All your favorite versions of Fedora getting up to date!
I admit that it feels kind of special to have #Fedora Linux 43 released on my birthday. Thank you, @adamw and others, for your thorough testing, which delayed the release process just enough to make this happen. ☺️
As free Windows 10 support ends today, consider upgrading to a Linux operating system! You will continue to be protected with security updates, but you will also gain total freedom for your device.
Doesn't have to be Fedora - look around for the Linux distro that works for you. :)
You have a couple of options that are accessible. #slint linux, #fedora. If you go the Fedora route install 41 then upgrade to 42 after it is installed. Use the #mate version. If you try #slint things should work out of the bo, but it is #slackware based so the package install process will be different than most systems if you need to install something that isn't there yet.
Ich teste momentan ja #Gnome unter #Fedora auf meinem Arbeitsgerät, während ich eigentlich seit Jahren privat und vorher beruflich #KDE #Plasma gewohnt bin.
Weiß noch nicht ob ich dabie bleibe. Ich muss mich ehct bei sehr vielen DIngen umgewöhnen und einiges umbiegen bzw. nach meinen Bedürfnissen konfigurieren. Aber eigentlich will ich den Desktop ja nicht zu stark verbiegen... An anderen Stellen vermisse ich Features.
Nein, ist natürlich nicht alles blöd: Gnome ist wirklich schick und fühlt sich wie aus einem Guss an, außerdem gibt es auch wirklich tolle #GnomeCircle Apps.
Gibt es tolle Exklusiv-Features oder Workflows, die ich mir mal anschauen sollte? 👀
Fedora 43 is expected to be released within weeks. I decided that the late stage of the beta process was a suitable moment to upgrade my server. Several days of debugging and configuration changes ensued, but not due to its being a beta version. The most complex problem was to adjust to the new (backward-incompatible) syntax of the Dovecot 2.4 IMAP configuration. Thanks to participants on the Dovecot mailing list for recognizing one of my errors, I was able to fix the configuration and return my email service to normal. #Fedora #Linux #DovecotIMAP
We’re hiring on the Red Hat Bootloader team! Work on GRUB2, shim, the Linux kernel, and core bootloader toolchains — the foundation of every Red Hat system.
Yes yes. My bad. I'm running version 25.8.1.1. When I open a .csv file with LibreOffice Calc I see this Text Import window. The problem is that it doesn't fit to my screen size and for that reason the bottom buttons aren't visible.
Another edition of LinuxDays took place in Prague last weekend – the country’s largest Linux event drawing more than 1200 attendees and as every yearm we had a Fedora booth there – this time we also representing CentOS.
I was really glad that Tomáš Hrčka helped me staff the booth. I’m focused on the desktop part of Fedora and don’t follow the rest of the project in such detail. As a member […]
For curiosity, tried pricing out this laptop preinstalled with Fedora, and it won't let you choose any ram option other than the lowest unless you switch to Windows.
ever wonder why Linux distro images are so darn big? I do, a lot, because we have silly rules about it! here is the investigation for #fedora 43's workstation live: bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.c… . It boils down to: "Firefox, LibreOffice, firmware, translations, CJK support, printing support, and podman/skopeo"
We held another #Fedora Installfest at the local university in #Brno today. In recent years, we have been dealing with fewer and fewer #Linux problems and more and more #Windows problems. Today, it was all "Fedora works fine for me, but I also have Windows in dual boot and VS Code there gives me an error when I try to compile."
One of my posts here gained popularity in the #Flathub vs. traditional #Linux distributions debate and I still stand by my claim that @flathub enforces its rules more strictly than Linux distributions and checks maintainers more thoroughly. None of my #Fedora packages have ever been held for review after being accepted into the repositories. Even though it's a complication for me as a maintainer, I approve it.
bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.c… Their Fractal flatpak (and RPM) is apparently broken because of switching a compiler. Why, you ask? because the compiler website has a 'Free Palestine' bit on it, and they claimed that this is antisemitism (lol)
Unfortunately, the blatant antisemitism throughout the SASS language site does not exactly endear me to the language as a whole, and certainly not their implementation thereof. grass seems to be independent of that, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
sass-lang.com/ God forbid caring about people in Gaza I guess? God forbid not wanting the West Bank to be colonized I guess?
Help the people around you continue to be protected by helping them switch to Linux. They don't need to go buy a new computer just because Microsoft made a decision for them.
Follow @Endof10 for success stories and resources for how to help people switch!
I've had Fedora as my main operating system for 4 years and couldn't be happier!
I only use Windows at work out of necessity, but at home it's 100% free software. LibreOffice has completely replaced Microsoft's Office suite, and honestly, I don't miss it at all.
Who else here made this transition? What was your experience like?
My eyes are so itchy and watery (presumably due to seasonal allergies) that I haven't been able to get much work done in the past few days. I'm writing this toot with my eyes closed most of the time. 😑
Dear #accessibility hivemind, is there an easy way to have #Orca working with a natural-sounding text-to-speech voice, that is not eSpeak, but rather something like #MyCroft's Mimic3 ?
What's the state of the art for screenreader TTS voices on #Linux and how do I get it in #Fedora?
The thing I love about open source is that it's possible for an engineer to not only benefit #Fedora as a project, but the entire #Linux community in a single commit.
All the countless hours spent on the #Linux Desktop Migration Tool are finally paying off! My wife got a new laptop yesterday. I installed #Fedora #Silverblue on it, created a user account, connected it to the home network, and left the migration tool running overnight. She could start using the new laptop without any interruption in the morning, and the whole thing took like 15 minutes of my time.
