It’s so good. I installed nvidia drivers expecting to have to do a bunch of work to make things go on Wayland like I do on Debian. Ya no just worked. Perfectly I was playing BG3 on the nvidia card in seconds.

amazing , thanks uncle , for giving us the sneak view of Fedora 40

wonderful content, thank you sir.

Just installed it yesterday and it's my favorite Linux Distro for workstations.

A really good review, very informative beginning, good explanations of the ostree variants, RAM usage etc. Really nice!

Excellent video 👍 Thank you 💜

Fedora 39 also had Cinnamon 6.04. There is already Wayland support semi-working. Mint won't push it until its rock solid, and I don't expect it this year.

Wayland been stable for me so far. there still issues but mostly stable in my time. I haven't had any issues with it yet, but I understand why mint wouldn't wanna use it there are alot of use cases that haven't been tested out yet that could be buggy.

The first distro I’ve tried that works with my Nvidia 4070 Ti Super! I typically run Linux Mint or Ubuntu, but I’ll have to give Fedora a try now. Of course I’ll try Ubuntu 24.04 when it gets released in a couple of days.

I've been daily driving OpenSuse Slow-Roll and what i like about Fedora is Silverblue with Bluefin its perfect for my family members that don't want to mess with codecs and updates and hopefully i won't be their tech support for on a daily basis crossing my fingers.

Hi DJ thanks for another great video. I’ve never used Silver Blue. Might give it a run. Can I ask an off topic question. Are you a Gnome user or KDE user on your Arch system? Keep growing that beard mate.

1 and only question is there any major issues , what about KDE , I use KDE plasma 6 for fedora 39 . last time someone mentioned thier pipewire audio not working , someone came with hyperland issues . should I upgrade now or wait ??

@CyberGizmo

Ай бұрын

I am still playing with it as well, I have been using KDE 6 on arch for quite awhile now maybe a month, and its stable and fast. I have an Nvidia card I use with it the RX A500 and it works fine love the fact Wayland can support multiple graphics cards so I use both the Intel on board GPU with the NVIDIA at times, pipewire works fine on the Intel machine, but who know what issues lurk with other soundcard options. I'd suggest putting it on a memory stick or if you have a spare SSD you can use USB is ok wont be fast but should work to let you decide if its for you or not. Great question!

Always use Blur My Shell and Dash to Dock to get rid of the Gnome ugliness. KDE ugliness is permanent tho. Zorin 16 has spoiled me. Very pretty and the old version of Gnome scrolls workspaces vertically while the wallpaper remains static. It'll probably keep it until 2025. I'll try Fedora 40 on Ventoy if only to see if dark mode is working better. Always works perfectly on Zorin. I run old quad core biz desktops that I get for $60 so old kernels don't bother me. Amazing that 10 yr old PCs work perfectly fine with an SSD. Extra memory is dirt cheap.

You can usually get great performance improvement and reduced SSD/flash wear by zram on devices with low memory. It might feel backward but it works.

I think you may be confusing Zram and zswap. Zswap is compressed memory pages on disk (the usual swap is not compressed) it may or may not be faster than normal swap, depending on the memory type and amount being swapped. Technically the logic is that because disk is slow, moving lower amounts of data is faster even if CPU has to compress/decompress. Zram however is a ram disk compressed swap partition* (with some nuances) logic is that you can potentially extend Ram using it, for example if you have 4GB, if you give up 2GB for Zram, you can potentially allocate up to 18GB, again depending on memory type. Some experiments company did with hosting big Java application, we were able to compress 8:1 and use16GB in 2GB, I guess it's because Java hosts a lot of duplicate or similar objects in memory.

I grew to dislike Fedora in the last year not because of the distro itself but because of its patron Red Hat. Since the decision to kill CentOS, Fedora is their primary source of free community-driven debugging and testing which they (mis)use to create closed source RHEL.

@Timely-ud4rm

Ай бұрын

yeah, it's definitely not perfect. Red hat allways been not so great they used to be but starting turning towards the evil corporate side as many corporations have. I don't see it having to do with the distro but rather the company. If someone steals bread from the local baker I wouldn't be mad them but rather the theif this case being red hat and the baker being fedora. Im just glad it's community driven and not driven by red hat themselves. I wish they had no part in the distro whatsoever but they do sadly. I love the distro for being stable but up to date. your concerns are as vaild as any other and them stealing the debugging and testing from fedora for there own closed source RHEL for profit sickens me.

What's the issue your getting at exactly? In terms of basic performance btrfs gets destroyed by essentially everything. You would only use it for specific reasons. XFS has a long history, but it's a modern fs and is continuously being worked on. In fact Veeam (the backup tool) in the last couple years created a new commercial feature that depends specifically on XFS reflinks. XFS is not going away any time soon.
