that was fast no delays?
I mean xz is already "done" (RPM uses zstd, all other projects are upstream)
Nice. I've been running the Fedora Workstation 40 beta for weeks now and not had a single issue. It's impressive how stable Fedora is, even on the beta in my experience, despite using pretty up to date packages.
Aside from the god-awful installer (which they're replacing), and the ball ache of installing media codecs, it's an amazing distro.
lol, it's not that bad is it? I have installed fedora on 2 of our machine without a single issue 😂
It's not bad as in it breaks, it's just extremely clunky, poorly laid out, and unintuitive. People have complained about it for years. It's due to be replaced next release, though
When are they replacing it?
Last I heard, 41?
Yep, 41 unless something else happens: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AnacondaWebUIforFedoraWorkstation#Current_status Not sure about the atomic desktops, though. F41 is also getting DNF5, so it’ll definitely be a cool release.
Ah cool. That's the release I've been looking forward too.
I've had a bunch of unprecedented problems with 39, I think this time I'll do a clean install
My first gig as a software developer offered Fedora23 I think it was if you wanted Linux. Would be interesting to see how much has changed but I don't really have a machine to just throw fedora on
If you dont have a machine, you can still imagine one 😉

Could always run it in a vm if you just wanted to poke around
