Linux Gaming news:
* Fedora is killing gaming!!
Week later:
* We generated enough angry comments, Fedora is not killing gaming this time, our job is done!!!
---
Folks, no, #Fedora was not trying to kill Linux gaming. And also no, nothing is done here. Angry comments is still not how things are being done in our line of work.
But it might be a good time to focus some attention and write some meaningful investigative news on WoW64 in wine, containerization for games, Steam for x64 and so on
In the i686 discussion in #Fedora we currently hear quite a lot of voices in support for the Steam client, but not that much of other use cases.
If you have anything specific using i686 packages on Fedora, which is _not_ Steam, this is a good time to mention it, so that your use cases are not lost.

And please do not panic, it is a discussion, nothing is decided yet :)

Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages - potentially bad news for Steam gamers
We may potentially be in for some big changes in Fedora 44, with plans in place being discussed to drop 32-bit multilib / i686 packages.

I never actually wrote an #introduction on here. Mostly because I hate writing about myself like this. But here goes.
I'm a programmer and #freesoftware enthusiast. I've been using #linux as my main desktop and #emacs as my... everything... since 2008. I started off with a lot of distro hopping, my journey took me through #ubuntu, #fedora, #zenwalk, #gentoo, and #exherbo before settling on #archlinux, now with #guix on top.
I guess I should have an #introduction on here as well:

I love writing software in #Lisp (either #CommonLisp or #Scheme or any other), but I don't get enough of a chance to. Except #EmacsLisp, basically all my personal projects end up being written in that. Other than that I've enjoyed writing things in #CSharp, #PHP, #Python, #JavaScript, #Ruby, #Groovy, and several other languages.

Over 90% #Python packages in #Fedora were built successfully with Python 3.14.

The biggest blocker for the rest seems to be pydantic.
My guilty pleasure is old IT books (can I hashtag it as #RetroComputing ?). So I bought another treasure. It's a Russian translation of "Red Hat Fedora 4 Unleashed" by Andrew Hudson et al. Pretty huge tome (~1100 pages) from 2006. Blessed times indeed.
It covers everything from installation to administration to desktop usage to Python/PHP programming (in a nutshell).
Sweet bonus is a Fedora 4 installation DVD.
Rest assured, I immediately proceeded to the installation in a VM.

Yay, KDE Plasma version 6.4 did already land in Fedora 42 KDE Edition
What an amazing and well polished release. Not a revolution, but great stability as well as solid quality-of-life improvements.
Thank you @kde
and @fedoraFedora Project for delivering such an amazing Desktop experience ๐
Saw @fedoraFedora Project 's #Fedora #Linux #42 towel at #DevConf_CZ .
Kudos to those who had the idea and implemented it!! This is awesome ๐๐๐๐
And of course a big thank you to all #Fedora contributors out there for their work for #SoftwareFreedom! ๐๐๐๐
GNOME Has a New Infrastructure Partner: Welcome AWS!

With an ever-growing contributor base, GNOME infrastructure has an increasing number of demands placed on it โ and only two engineers. AWS saved us from the burden of manually scaling our infra. Thank you AWS!
@gnome I don't want to support this move to amazon.

Everything seems ready for the actual mass #Python 3.14 rebuild in #Fedora Rawhide. We'll meet with @karoKarolina Surma and @frenzyLumรญr Balhar early next week to fire off and babysit the builds.
Fellow Fedora packagers: Now is not a good time to push breaking changes. (In the past, something special always happened during the rebuild.)

How to install Sharkey/Misskey (with fixes for FreeBSD) for Fedora 42

็็ฌใใใ @cocoa@hackers.pub
When installing patched versions of Misskey and Sharkey on Fedora 42, compilation errors related to `uint8_t` and `state` may arise due to the default GCC version. This guide provides a workaround by compiling and using a newer version of GCC/G++. The process involves installing necessary dependencies, downloading and extracting the GCC source code, configuring the build with specific flags, and compiling GCC using the `make` command. After installation, the guide details how to modify the `pnpm install` command for Misskey and Sharkey to use the newly compiled GCC, ensuring a successful installation. By following these steps, users can resolve the compilation errors and properly install Misskey and Sharkey on Fedora 42.

I'm running for #Fedora Council.
Voting is now open until June 2.
Managed to get it to work, but I broke my password showing off a demo of how to do it so I need to reboot into a chroot and fix it (in short, rootful distrobox with a different password set in the container will lead to a bad time).
If you'd like to do this yourself before I get the video around, for running #DaVinciResolveStudio with an #Nvidia card on an #EndeavourOS host and #Fedora container you'll need to do this; use at your own risk:

Say hi!
I was thinking about what Linux distribution to use for my servers (currently #Debian). My needs are:
- widespread, so I can find answers quickly
- stable updates, but not rolling release
- good Podman support
- easy to build packages for and/or many good custom package repositories
I then realized that #Fedora ticks pretty much all the boxes for me, and the only reason I don't use it is because I'm biased towards it as a desktop-only distribution (which it obviously isn't).
I guess I'll try it out on one of the servers

Got wcurl into @fedoraFedora Project and am now maintaining it! ๐ Fedora users can expect the latest update soon, featuring support for -o and -O without spaces (e.g., -oNAME)....

Update builds rolling out today!
Upgraded. Let's see what this AMD Ryzen can do over the Intel board it was rocking before. #FrameworkLaptop #Fedora #Linux
For the last couple of days I have been working on this. A prototype for a 3D platformer/ adventure game where players take control of a fella with a humongous hammer.
I am still working on the basic controls for the player character, but I already like how it is shaping. Hopefully next week I will have them all ready to start creating some enemy/environment interactions.
The Oregon State University's Open Source Lab needs your help ๐ค !

They are also a host for many other open source projects - e.g. #Drupal, #Gentoo Linux, #Debian, #Fedora, #phpBB, #OpenID, #Buildroot/#Busybox, #Cinc, โฆ

So I've attached a USB to serial adapter to my laptop and hooked it up to the user port of my C64. After four lines of BASIC it actually displays a login prompt! How cool is that? Apart from the fact that the encoding is totally broken and the whole thing runs at only 600 baud.
How did Fedora Linux get its start? While some of us have been and around the block (and have the CD boxes to prove it), here is a brief history of how Fedora came to be for those who want to learn. :)
#introductie
Ik heb nooit de behoefte gevoeld om mijn leven online te delen. Mij volgen betekent dus niet per se dat je me veel zult zien tooten. Bij FB ben ik 2 jaar geleden gaan lopen, op andere Meta-tools heb ik nooit een account gehad, en de recente gebeurtenissen bleken het perfecte momentum om ook de ergernis op Twitter achter me te laten.
Maar met m'n sympathie voor #opensource en gedecentraliseerde netwerken krijgt Mastodon wel nog een kans. We moeten toch iets te scrollen hebben.
#introductie (2/2)
Jarenlang #softwaredev geweest in #bioinformatics , en blijf koppig #Fedora #linux draaien
Als verstokte Gentenaar kun je me al decennialang dagelijks door de straten van #Gent zien #fietsen .
Verder geniet ik zeer van nerd-kunst: #games (The Witcher III, Don't Starve, The Witness, Hollow Knight), #fantasy (Robin Hobb, Terry Pratchett), #strips (Loisel, Rosinski). Liefst met een stevige pint erbij.
Mijn overige tijd verdeel ik gelijkmatig over vriendin, kat en #contrabas .
Am I missing something in the changelog of Fedora 42 or GNOME 48?
Pressing the power button on my laptop no longer respects my dconf parameter:
```
dconf read /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/power-button-action
'suspend'
```
It asks me if I want to shut down instead of suspend.
Certain models of Lenovo laptops now ship with Fedora and Ubuntu Linux. This is done to keep costs low and cater to developers or IT professionals who heavily rely on Linux. Another reason could be the increased unpopularity of Windows 11 in recent times due unwanted features like "AI" or "Recall", but that is just my own wild guess ;) LOL. Would you buy it?
Fedora 42 released with KDE Plasma reaching edition status, COSMIC desktop spin, new installer experience with Anaconda WebUI, unification of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, X86 MIPI camera hardware enablement, optimized binaries for the x86_64 architecture using glibc-hwcaps, and many updated packages

Upgraded to #fedora 42 on my Framework, now tidying things up. Had a repo conflict because I'd enabled a copr for ghostty, but that was straightforward to resolve.
#Poll for current and FORMER users of #Fedora:
If you currently daily-drive Fedora, or have done so within the past five years, what was your overall opinion of it as a desktop OS?
I'm asking with an eye to stability for work use, and ease of upgrade (whether or not the twice-a-year upgrades ever break).
I'm thinking of switching my work machine over from Debian, and possibly using Fedora as the OS that I wean my coworker away from windows with.
After the last `dnf update` and system restart, I keep hearing the sound effect for (un)plugging of a USB drive from time to time. I don't see any other symptoms but I do see a bunch of these on the kernel log:
```
[ 4873.577447] usb 1-4: reset full-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
```
ls-usb doesn't help identify what device is that:
```
/: Bus 001.Port 001: Dev 001, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/5p, 480M
|__ Port 004: Dev 002, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=[none], 12M
```
Anyone know? It's driving me crazy. I have work to do..
In der letzten #FocusOnLinux Episode besprechen wir nochmal spannende News: Mozilla verwundert mit neuen Terms of Use, wรคhrend #OpenCloud 1.0 erscheint. #Framework stellt neue Hardware vor und Ampere Computing wird gekauft. #GIMP 3.0 erscheint nach langer Entwicklungszeit und in den KDE- und Asahi-Projekten gibt es personelle Verรคnderungen. #GNOME 48 wird verรถffentlicht und #Fedora 42 erscheint als Beta.
Danke fรผr eure Treue der letzten 3 Jahre! โค๏ธโ๐ฅ
