Another longer form saturday blog post about doings in the last week in my corner of #fedora land.

This week includes an unsigned packages issue, an idempotentness issue, an AI scraper update and some more detailed info about the upcoming Datacenter Move.

Enjoy!

Kevin's musings · Early April infra bits 2025Another week gone by and it's saturday morning again. We are in final freeze for Fedora 42 right now, so things have been a bit quieter as folks (hopefully) are focusing on quashing release blocking b

More exactly #fedora #silverblue, I think.

This is maybe because they claim that during transactional updates "as the final image is composed iteratively with every update on each machine individually, no guartantees to avoid configuration drift and to achive reproducibility between different computers" ?

Never heard of anything similar that with #guix, as reproducibility is one of its main goals.

In Fedora 42 KDE Edition, the annoying bug with distorted and way too big mouse cursors in GTK/libadwaita applications is finally gone :-)

The mouse cursor is now rendered identically in QT/KDE and GTK applications alike.

Nice!!

today in #fedora qa:
* light blocker herding
* tested f42 installs on vmware and virtualbox (seem to work OK)
* poked the upstream fix for bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.c - couldn't manage to reproduce the bug myself any more to confirm the fix, but left images for others to test
* did some testing of an experimental gnome-software build ported to libdnf5 for mcrha
* now emergency-fixing a new mariadb build in #rawhide which has a syntax error that makes it fail to install, breaking #openqa tests...

It occurred to me today that I probably know less about what’s under the hood of my Project Bluefin install than I do about any Linux that I’ve ever used.

I’ve dove deep into the guts of Arch, regular Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Debian and so many other distributions.

My god, at the time I’ve spent over the years just coaxing Debian into what I expected it to do on different machines.

I keep meaning to read up on ujust and a few other things, but I just haven’t had to.

Click button. Do some stuff. Go about my day. Everything just works.

Honestly, Silverblue was just as stable, but Bluefin has some nice quality of life tweaks.

#linux
#bluefin
#fedora
#silverblue

Just look at that.

I think this was (non-default) Gnome.

Vertical panel never actually worked correctly, there were always some rendering issues with the window list, but I liked that setup a lot.

And that background is one of my favorites. I have it on my current system and I was looking into ordering a printed fabric with it just couple of months ago.

@mikeTesteLinuxQlub j'avais déjà fait une tentative avec Arch pure. Après deux jours j'ai abandonné. Déjà que l'installation n'était pas simple. On dirait que je n'ai plus la patience pour ça 😁

Pour #Fedora, c'est la distro qui m'a gardé le plus longtemps après en avoir essayé plusieurs. Elle allie bien stabilité avec modernité. On reçoit des technologies plutôt récentes, sans que le système soit toujours cassé.

Did upgrade my primary machine (ThinkPad T14s Gen 4 AMD) to Fedora 42 today, after testing it inside a virtual machine for a week.

- Fedora Linux 42 (Beta currently) :fedora:
- Linux Kernel 6.14 :linux:
- KDE Plasma 6.3.3 :kde:
- Mesa 25.0.2

The upgrade process F41->F42 was absolutely flawless and worked perfectly as usual 🙂 Great work by the Fedora Project 🥳

Looks like another rock solid release. The experience is amazing even in beta.

@mikeTesteLinuxQlub ouain effectivement, ils ont modifié quelques terminologies, mais le fond reste le même. Merci pour les précisions. Mint est parfait pour pas se casser la tête.

Perso, j'ai utilisé pendant un an Fedora, puis depuis plusieurs semaines, j'ai fait le saut vers Arch Linux avec la distribution #EndeavourOS. J'hésite à revenir à #Fedora quand la version 42 va sortir à la fin avril. Pas de bogues avec Arch, mais il faut aimer la ligne de commandes.
