    Already? I’m still using Fedora 39 since that’s the only version supported by CUDA Toolkit :S

      Isn’t rawhide the “rolling” version? If so, it does not really count as 42, just what packages 42 is likely gonna have.

    I upgraded yesterday, thinking I may have not enough time to do it the rest of the year. It already works great in my AMD Ideapad.

      I’ve been using it since the beta, some small hiccups with the new file picker (didn’t work with Steam initially) but everything is working nicely now. Only regression I’ve noticed is that with the new nautilus based file picker, you can’t drag a file from Nautilus to the file picker and have the file picker switch to that location. Hope that gets addressed soon.

        I’m running the KDE spin, because, well, just because. It was a bit strange to think about it, like “Nautilus? I’m not having that problem. Wait a minute”. This year I stopped using GNOME, nothing specific about it, just wanted to try Plasma. Wanted to experience the old convenience of Linux to just switch to another DE with a couple of commands.

    Windows skipped only one number: Windows 9, but we skipped 35 releases. Obvious sign of Linux superiority.

      When talking about the kernel, Windows actually skipped 3 major versions iirc from the top of my head. Windows 8 was Windows (NT) 6.2, and Windows 10 skipped that version number to, well, 10.

      Oops, fixed. The post had “#Fedora” so instinctively I ignored the hashtag.

    Federa release numbers are not Redhat release numbers.

    Very exciting. I’m hyped for the improvements to the touch screen keyboard. I have a surface that I usually use in tablet mode

    It’s a mastodon post where “Fedora” is typed as a hashtag, and then it is followed by “Linux 41…”. The title should say “Fedora Linux 41 will be released on October 29”
