From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am running Fedora 39 right now and the last time I did a distro upgrade my graphics drivers were a huge PITA. Did your upgrade to 40 went smooth?

Running Silverblue here and only one minor issue due to the wifi mac address changes and locking myself out of my network.

I also realised, that the upgrade didn't like it when Ihade packages removed from the base which resulted in broken dependencies.

After resetting it upgrading went without any glitch.

Yes, Nvidia drivers broke, I had to remove and reinstall them, ( don't forget to reboot )

Edit: oh, and also my widgets broke, even ones that are made by KDE...

Also ClearClock is broken because it doesn't work on KDE 6

Use the Atomic variants from uBlue! This will make sure stuff like that happens on their servers, they fix it once and the users always get working updates. (Maybe with a day delay in cases like this)

No issues jumping straight from 37 server edition to 40.

Plasma 5 to 6 with a long used setup went perfectly.

Fedora Atomic Plasma Workstation? I am in!

Screen sharing with Discord no longer works, but I think that's from an update to Flatpak because it was also happening at the end of 39's lifecycle.

Doesn't work for me on GNOME Wayland on Arch either. I'm also using the flatpak.

You can mask flatpaks to not update. Likely also rollback

I'm fairly confident that it's a change in Flatpak itself rather than any one specific Flatpak, since all of my apps now use the same new screen sharing interface. Difference is that it actually works in those apps.

Flatpak doesnt handle that, this is an xdg-desktop-portal by your Desktop that is also used for other apps.
