Battery life on new ThinkPad in Fedora Silverblue is fantastic.

Today was oddly quiet in #fedora land.
The calm before the F42 Final freeze tomorrow?
* Messed up a discussion user, but managed to fix everything.
* Looked at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2356237 but puzzled, and it's not happening anymore.
* Swapped out atop for btop on a bunch of machines.
* Moved ~2TB of f42 GA composes to archive
* Updated some bz api keys
* Caught up on various emails and pr's and issues.
* Tried to catch up on my rss feeds. I'm under a thousand now. Caught up to last thursday. :(

From a simple user point of view, if you have used Fedora, you will be familiar with Open Mandriva Linux.

Both use RPM packages and Dnf package manager. You can even download and install 3rd party RPM packages, for example, I installed iVpn directly from their website.

Their "Cooker" build is comparable to Fedora's "rawhide". Their "Rome" build is comparable "Fedora Release". Lastly, "Rock" is comparable to centOS.

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.

I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.

I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.

By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful

I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.

Thanks all!

I've managed to install #Fedora on #Scaleway #Dedibox thanks to #bootc. The same process might work on many other providers' machines as well.

I migrated my work computer to #fedora 41 and it feels so good

I just made an Erlang GUI "Hello World" in a Fedora 41 Toolbox.

$ toolbox create erlang

$ toolbox enter erlang

$ sudo dnf install erlang

$ erl -smp

1> wx:new().
{wx_ref,0,wx,[]}

2> M = wxMessageDialog:new(wx:null(), "Hello World").
{wx_ref,35,wxMessageDialog,[]}

3> wxMessageDialog:showModal(M).

Thanks to:

Entendu à l'instant, du service technique d'un client qui doit me livrer une appli pour un VPN : « Fedora ? Mais c'est vieux ça, ça existe plus ! »

Quand on n'installe que du Ubuntu, ça peut surprendre oui

#Fedora #Linux

I will be at #KubeCon / #CloudNativeCon in London this week.

I'll give a workshop on Wednesday with @tormath1 on how to use and build systemd system extensions (sysexts): https://kccnceu2025.sched.com/event/1tcxe/contribfest-extending-image-based-systems-using-systemd-system-extensions

Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about Fedora CoreOS and running Kubernetes on it, Openshift, Fedora Atomic Desktops, Flatpaks, KDE or anything else .

Hello from #Fedora 42! #Silverblue makes the upgrade quick and worry-free

My Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 5. My Fedora desktop.

Picked up a Thinkpad T14s Gen 5 (Intel) today. Intel Core Ultra 5 135U, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD. It even has an NPU.

I went through the Windows 11 setup to see if there were firmware upgrades that could only be installed from Windows. Then I installed Fedora Silverblue on it to skip having to deal with Windows on a daily basis.

Everything seems to work, even the fingerprint reader. Now to figure out if the NPU is accessible from Linux and what to do with it.

I want to throw out a big #HotDamn to 20 years of #softwaredevelopment . I recently bought a used #Behringer #BCF2000 which had a #SysEx editor last developed in 2004 in #Java available for download from the official website. I downloaded the software to my #Fedora system and it recognized the device over the modern #Linux #USB interface and worked like a champ.

Well done, 20 years of #software develoment and backwards compatibility!

What’s your #Linux distro of choice? Comment if a different one than the four in the poll.

I'm in love with uv. Seriously, the tool is small yet packs a punch with features.

I'm writing an article for Fedora Magazine about the cool things you can do with uv, here is the source code (with the article in markdown) for your enjoyment:
