Fedora 40 boasts more spins and flavors than ever

Compared to the rise of LLMs, containers are positively old hat now

You know, this statement makes the author sound like they think LLMs should replace containers, or that development of better containers is passé because of New and Shiny Things.

Please take care not to sound like a project manager when doing tech journalism.

Plasma is not replacing Gnome in Fedora Workstation.

And it doesn't need to anyway, the plasma spin works great and there's no real sign of it being treated as a second class citizen in terms of development/support from the Fedora team.

I think the argument is that since it not the default and not visible in the fedora landing page, the kde spin gets less coverage and hence people are more likely to come across and use the fedora workstation in favour of the kde spin.

Ohy god it took me a full minute to realize that I wasn't looking at three stylized vaginas.

To be fair, I have seen several neolithic Venus figurines lately.

It's three fedoras, looked at from the top!
Thank you for making me look, but fuck you for not telling me, it took ages of staring at my screen before I got what was actually depicted.
- I had no issues identifying it, and was quite pleased that they actually showed fedoras. People confuse trilbys for fedoras far too frequently.

So far seem to be an uneventful upgrade.

Defaulting to wayland for KDE6 on a nvidia GPU doesn’t seem to have broken anything

Trying the KDE Fedora 40 beta spin is what made me switch from a 30-year Windows streak.

Tbh I am fully behind KDE as flagship desktop. Dealing with GNOME users problems all day in the forum, KDE is just better for usability?

GNOME is reduced over the amount that makes sense. KDE could use a bit of reduction, but not as much as GNOMEs. People need the Terminal or random extensions for basic things, this is not a good experience.

On the other hand, GNOME and KDE both have really nice features, GNOME with their Microsoft integrations being particularly powerful (their account system works at all, unlike KDEs which I think nobody uses. But when using Thunderbird, which has standalone Exchange support, you dont use that account system anyways so it doesnt matter again).

Also GNOME has like all their apps on Flathub. GNOME Boxes is particularly crazy, having sandboxed virtualization. This means you can mix match GNOME Flatpaks on a KDE desktop without any problems, KDE even handles the theming for you. On GNOME on the other hand... it actively breaks Qt apps, its insane.

So I think GNOME has some great apps (snapshot, decoder, simplescan, carburetor, celluloid ...) but you can install them anywhere.

GNOME looks better out of the box and configuring KDE can be very tricky. There are also a lot of outdated "addons" for KDE and you need some in order to get what you want. extensions are better integrsted in KDE but it's not like KDE has everything out of the box. I'd love to see more KDE support.
- I think KDE looks great out of the box, includes all the extensions I want, and is easy to configure.
- True. KDEs virtual desktops are also basically unusable for me, idk I just dont see them so they are not used.
  There are pros and cons. Its simply a tie, I stay with KDE because the lack of some things (like close buttons with the hitbox in the very edge) would annoy me.

If there's a spin without systemd let me know.

🙄

I'd try fedora if it had a different name.

Wait, what's wrong with Fedora? In terms of terrible names that's pretty low. There code name system used to horrific before the discontinued
- Yeah it's just name bias. I can't unsee that one particular fedora guy picture when I read it.
