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.

#Fedora #Lenovo



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.


I haven’t installed #fedora for a couple of years and the Anaconda installer UI got so much nicer in the meantime!

Windows 10 support ends on October 14.

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.

The #gnome #bug reporter still wants to push reports onto bugzilla that has been replaced by their #gitlab instance.

Is that a known issue?
Couldn't find any reference online, how that will change in future.

My #fedora rarely crashes so it's not a big issue. However, I'd like to contribute data for improving software.

#question


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?

All the countless hours spent on the :linux: #Linux Desktop Migration Tool are finally paying off! My wife got a new laptop yesterday. I installed :fedora: #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.

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.

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.

I'd like to think #fedora with #gnome is a real operating system, but then not configuring templates and thus #nautilus not offering to create a new file - is some decision.

Can't say it's smart to force people to either create those templates or find a terminal and run touch.

My side quest at #FlockToFedora was meeting Petr Šimáček, a longtime #Fedora user and author of @mestskacyklistika. He gave me a tour of Radio Beat, where he works as a news guy, and took me on a one-hour #bike ride to show me all the gems of city #cycling in #Prague.


Flock to Fedora 2025 is streaming live from Prague.

It's on YouTube @ youtube.com/@fedora/streams with a stream per room.

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!

Here's an article of someone discovering Lenovo's Linux program: news.itsfoss.com/lenovo-cuts-w…

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!

#Fedora


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?

Meet our new Fedora Project Leader, Jef Spaleta!

As we're excited for Jef to support the community in this role, we also extend a big thank you to @mattdm (who is not leaving the Fedora community either!)

I have a question about the work space switching and I’m sure if it’s a #gnome thing a #fedora 42 thing or a #boxes thing. I have fedora 42 installed in boxes and the behaviour of the work space switches immediately with out animation . This to me is actually shocking/jarring . Can anyone tell me if this is the new default behaviour for work space switching in gnome or should I be looking at another culprit?


Hmm, I must really like the Material Design language, or at least I'm a bit nostalgic for the older versions of it. Check out this screenshot of my desktop using the Materia Dark theme, but with the default Fedora Mate 41 wallpaper... I'd love to know if the use of Roboto is obvious or not. Sorry to my visually impaired followers, as trying to give this an extermely detailed description is a bit difficult. #Fedora #Mate #GTKThemes #MaterialDesign #MateriaDark




The Fedora Project is looking for a new git forge to move to, and right now the preference is toward @forgejo over GitLab. We're looking for feedback one more time from the community before the Fedora Council has a vote on it!

Does #fedora support the old #kickstart format or some other format that allows for install templating?



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.

The recording of the talk (in Czech) is already available online:
