Not sure we should block on all the @flathub requirements listed here, but I agree the current Fedora Flatpak model is hurting Fedora Workstation more than helping.

Fedora Must (Carefully) Embrace Flathub

Motivation Opportunity is upon us! For the past few years, the desktop Linux user base has been growing at a historically high rate. StatCounter currently has us at 4.14% desktop OS market share...

Well y'all, I might have to go back to Windows. With Fedora 42, and Orca 48.6, I cannot use Google Docs well at all on Google Chrome, and on Firefox, the outline view which I use to navigate through many, many headings in a document I need for work, isn't usable at all. I can arrow up and down all I want, but nothing speaks.

Different Fedora Linux variants (Spins/Labs) have different default environments. For example, the Fedora workstation uses GNOME as its default desktop environment, while the KDE spin will use KDE. Irrespective of…

Looking for a new laptop that runs Linux out of the box? Get a ThinkPad!

Lenovo has been offering ThinkPads with Fedora and @ubuntu preinstalled for a few years now. The more people who shop for these devices, the more attention they can give to this business!

Building your own Atomic (bootc) Desktop - Fedora Magazine

Bootc and associated tools provide the basis for building a personalised desktop. This article will describe the process to build your own custom installation.

^{Daniel Mendizabal (Fedora Project)}

Besides welcoming our new, developing spin in the form of Fedora COSMIC Atomic, we had a few more updates from the Atomic Desktop side of the project.

The main change is the implementation of composefs which brings you "the reliability of disk images with the flexibility of files." This and many of the changes are under the hood to help keep the system stable while introducing more flexibility to users and maintainers.

We continue down the roadmap to bootc!

Certain models of Lenovo laptops now ship with Fedora and Ubuntu Linux. This is done to keep costs low and cater to developers or IT professionals who heavily rely on Linux. Another reason could be the increased unpopularity of Windows 11 in recent times due unwanted features like "AI" or "Recall", but that is just my own wild guess ;) LOL. Would you buy it?

I use an RSS feed for news, and I’m sure I’m not the only one here on the Fediverse who appreciates the convenience it offers, because it helps me stay informed in a way that suits my preferences.

I had a talk called "Unbreakable Linux for Entire Family" today. It had nothing to do with Oracle #Linux, it was about concepts and approaches around #Fedora #Silverblue to make a truly free ChromeOS-like system for friends and family.
I was happy to have a full room of people. It's good to see #OpenAlt bouncing back in terms of attendance.

As exciting as the new features are, please remember that this is primarily for testing. Help us make this release as smooth as possible by directing your feedback to the Fedora Quality Team (info in the article).

Please also help to circulate this in the accessibility community as we want to catch any bugs related to their needs as soon as possible.

Happy testing!

Oh, thank goodness not having a fully functional screen reader isn’t a blocker for Fedora 41. We wouldn’t want them to miss their 10th anniversary of shipping an operating system without a fully functional screen reader, after all.

Okay, I think I fixed the link.

So, this is like, one of the first times I've done this, but I wanted to show a bit of installing Fedora Linux on my laptop. I'd already started the installation, but it shows most of it, and a bit of setup afterwards. I recorded this on my iPhone, so it won't sound the best. A few things I forgot to mention:

* You cannot buy IBM Viavoice (Eloquence) for Linux anymore, but it's of course still floating around.
* We also have DecTalk on Linux, obvious from the BTSpeak using it.
* You can also get Vocalizer voices.
* There's also Piper of course.

#Linux #UX bugs like this are frustrating: starting a drag action pops the window forward, obscuring the target window. I'm using latest #Fedora but apparently this happens on nearly all DEs.

The smaller your display is (and the more nontechnical you are) the more likely you'll hit this. Apparently this has been known for a long time and no one cares to fix it? I'm just curious why.

"Not enough programmers" isn't a good excuse, this is a fairly easy fix. @cassidy Devs only use Terminal?

Fedora has been shipping with a broken screen reader for NINE YEARS but the real problem is me

“Buh, Aral, #Fedora is a volunteer project… you a nasty bum-bum criticising us for shipping an operating system without a functional screen reader by default for EIGHT YEARS…”

Meanwhile, in reality: “The Fedora Project is not a separate legal entity or organization; Red Hat retains liability for its actions.”

Who owns Red Hat?

#IBM.

What is IBM? A 150 billion-dollar corporation.

Cut the “we’re volunteers” bullshit, acknowledge your ableist culture, and do better.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora…

For eight years Fedora has been shipping GNOME with a broken screen reader!

EIGHT YEARS!

(Wayland has been default on Fedora for eight years – since Fedora 25, released in 2016.)

And a hundred-billion-dollar corporation like IBM ships operating systems today based on it with a broken screen reader.

What is an ableist culture? One in which the people who call this out get ostracised.
