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.

It's dnf5 time!

cries in still waiting for new Anaconda installer

(for those curious, I had to use Anaconda 8 times in the last 2 days, because I was setting up (more like trying and failing to set up) a custom ublue image).

You can build a custom uBlue image? Could that be used for a server?

You can probably build a server image. I used Bluebuild, I'd recommend you check them out

Tried it out and had an issue where GTK apps would not load. Eventually solved it by changing a setting in /etc/environment, but this is the first time a fedora beta lets me down.

GTK is now using Vulkan to render things now. What hardware and distro are you running? I would recommend making a report on GTK since your potentially outlier case may affect others.

Fedora 41, on a Dell xps 15 with a 3050ti, Driver Version: 560.35.03. I got the solution from an Arch board, so I wasn't the only one. I'll have a look at the gitlab.

That's really strange, the new renderer has been tested pretty thoroughly with modern Nvidia; issues are only expected with older Nvidia cards that require older Nvidia driver versions.
