I was wondering when this was going to come out. I had been watching it for a bit and then stopped checking for updates. Sure enough, it gets released when I am not paying attention!
Going to check out the updates and see if I fancy myself an install tonight!
I will give this a try and see what is new. I tend to only change if it seems worth it so I will test it first. I too like to do fresh installs but after doing it once before with Fedora and having issues, I like to triple check before I proceed.
I had this happen after a Mint update. Was so annoying. I did a fresh install and got everything set up, only to have to go back to the previous version because of bugs. An entire day wasted!
I want to see what your experience are with the update and install if you did it @penguinpie
I am honestly too lazy to go through the process without knowing it is worth it from someone I can actually talk to about it. I tried asking on another forum and no one responded.
So I had it up and running. Thought I would come back and share my thoughts. Most of the updates are not really on the surface, outside of GNOME 42.
The RPM database is now on /usr. Wayland support has been added for NVIDIA users. Other minor updates as well as ones we won’t see make a difference until further down the road.
I’d say it is worth it if you plan on using GNOME 42 alone as the dark theme looks really nice.
No many changes in changelogs, just alot of packages update.
as Fedora user I prefer wait almost 1 week before do the upgrade.
I did the big step - moving from Release 42 to Release 43 - today in the afternoon..
I personally did not notice bugs. The only 2 nasty things I notice were:
Grub now automatically boot with the latest Kernel without letting me choosing wich Kernel boot up. I resolved this issue by changing some Grub config.
I had some difficulties on the KDE menu: it seems I had some incongruency on Qt libraries: I had a mismatch between version 6.9 and 6.10. I resolved this issue with the command: sudo dnf distro-sync --allowerasing that realigned package version.
Looking forward to seeing the comments on the latest version.
We have a Linux user group for the Greenville, South Carolina region and I believe some of the guys have Fedora who support RHEL on the job but I don’t recall anything specific.
From what I vaguely recall from the conversation it’s quite usable and stable; I’ve not used it so that’s all I have.
I have Fedora running on my home computer and my work laptop. I use the Sway spin. I was a tad excited so I upgraded 2 days after it was released. My only problem was that a Fortinet client no longer worked. However I was able to use NetworkManager Openconnect to establish the VPN.
Other than that it has been seemless.
@ricky89 When I rebooted after the update I could have sworn I saw the boot menu, I would have to double check on my next boot, or after I upgrade my work laptop this weekend.
