Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- Fedora 40 is officially released, this is more than just a Desktop Linux, it is a Server, a Clout and IoT operating system. You can choose Spins (and Labs) for your particular use case or your favorite Desktop Environment or Windows Manager. Fedora 40 is based on the 6.8.x kernel which was also available in the previous version 39 (via updates). However, Fedora brings GNOME 46, KDE 6, Cinnamon 6, and there are immutable versions such as Silverblue, Kinolite, Budgie and Sway.
So many choices you might want to search for the Fedora 40 Everything ISO file so you can try them all.

Happy Fedora 40 Release day!
Fedora is so good.
DJ, you’re lookin more and more like Santa. That said, love the channel!
Software Santa, 😂
Linux Santa... :)
@@a7i3n93you better copyright your comment, or it's gonna be taken asap xDD
I downloaded the KDE Spin live image just to play with it, and holy 5h17, I think I'm in love.
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.
@@WhimsicalArtisan Can you expand on this? Sounds like great news. Nvidia suppor5 out of the box?
i've been watching for a couple of years now, nice to see you still going strong !
Thank you!
Great video! It’s so thorough; that’s why I love watching your channel. You go beyond surface level and it’s so refreshing to see someone do that! ❤🎉
Great informational review DJ. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome, Tony and good to see you!
Beard is looking good!
I’ve been rocking on Universal Blue Kinoite building my own templates since F36 and can’t get enough of it! 💙
Linux Santa is coming to town
Thanks for sharing the video. All the best.
amazing , thanks uncle , for giving us the sneak view of Fedora 40
wonderful content, thank you sir.
Happy Belated Fedora 40 Release Day!
Excellent video 👍 Thank you 💜
A really good review, very informative beginning, good explanations of the ostree variants, RAM usage etc.
Really nice!
Just installed it yesterday and it's my favorite Linux Distro for workstations.
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.
I use KDE on my Arch system, I have a window manager I am playing at, but not seriously using it. I really like KDE always have, just think they could do more consolidation on the options and themes.
@18:25 Mixing hardware types, OS, and both VM and baremetal on the same graph. Not sure what we should deduce from this graph.
👍And thanks again DJ!
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.
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.
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.
DJ is this theoretically what RHEL 10 will/could be?
Yes, it could end up in RHEL 10, but that bar has always been set pretty high in the past.
i just switched to tumbleweed lol. might have to check this out
its released
Damn you're fast af lol
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 ??
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!
@@CyberGizmo i am facing audio issues after upgrading to Fedora 40 from 39 . Well I did all trouble shooting I will either roll back or reinstall i guess.
I guess the update failed once then it started again cache I cleared. Reinstall though dunno
Well after update the kernel-modules that thing is corrupted when I said update it said kernel-module package needs to pe repaired reinstalling.
It detects the sound card .
Then I restarted pulse audio 3-4 times audio i am getting now that network manager has corrupted I guess.
Ohk sorry I checked the update logs it has lots of errors. It says it missed packages.
How I repair missing packages.
Well I know what I'll be doing tomorrow morning... I wonder how this affects, or not, the Asahi-Fedora mix for Apple Silicon? Thanks for the video D.J. I really look forward to these. Keep the beard. Linux guys wear beards! I used to have one so maybe I'll grow one as well.
Good luck and remember if you are using a MacBook Pro, the external monitor is tied through Thunderbolt which doesnt yet work on Asahi...I do hope they implement that soon :). And thanks I dunno if I will keep the beard through summer it gets very hot here .
@@CyberGizmo I'm using the MacBook's HDMI port so all's good there. :) When I had a beard I just trimmed it closer to my face for summer. Maybe in celebration of Fedora 40 I should grow mine out! :O
I still have a live 32 bit old fedora on usb stick . great tool for getting back into corrupt pc's
Best DJ ever
40 is nice. Stickin' with it. DNF and the repos are too solid to let go. Toolbox is working for me. It's just clean. I have to work and not mess with my system everyday.
Can Fedora, or any Linux distro, modify the microcode off certain hardware in your desktop, so that Windows will not work properly, or at all?
Hate being that person but I'm gonna be that person
8:33 Kinoite doesn't have an L in it
That being said, and to your credit, it's a good thing that the additional Atomic distros are going to the "Environment Atomic" naming scheme because some of the minerals and crazy names that were coming out were pretty unmanageable. Sway Atomic is far easier to remember than Sericea.
first thanks for the correction, and yes I agree with the naming convention, still have trouble saying Kinoite and Sericea for-git-about-it.
Time to upgrade Fedora 38 to 39.
It looks good but it's still IBM and we don't know what they might pull next.
Good to see you act 13.41 well Fedora is kind of a special case, yes its managed by Red Hat but its a community project...i don't think even IBM would want the heat that would come down on them if they messed with Fedora.
Did they put the EOS spyware trash in it?
Nope they gave up on that idea, was the first thing I checked for.
Camoso rly needed to be removed. Simply dont work. Sink X11 was a surprise. Good or bad i dont know yet! I had a problem with Wayland previously.
Ah your beard longer than mine. Good.
LOL
CyberSanta. :)
Thanks for distraction from "New iPads, Apple Pencil 3 & More". Once again . . . thank you!
Don’t forget iOS 18 is getting a calculator app! You can finally do basic arithmetic on your M1!
Dang and I was just about to do an ipad video, or was it iphone?
this thing keeps crashing everytime i hope the file manager 40 is all messed up how do i go back to 39
graphs show pi5 but not with nvme on pcie extension, maybe next time.
right, don't have the pcie hat
nice release, can't even install blender on it.
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.
"Hello! Are you primarily a Linux user or do you use a Macbook?"
My primary laptop is a MSI Prestige 16 which is an Intel Core Ultra 7 (155H) CPU running Arch Linux I do have a couple of Macs one of which I use to edit these video on and the other I use when making video demos its an old Mac Mini M1 which runs Asahi Linux Fedora KDE on it. Hope that helps. The photo on the front is one I made from a stock photo not an actual lab photo, if it had been mine the table would be completely covered in electronics parts LOL
Fedora 40 Nasty SElinux bug prevents virtualization from happening. On my system all virtual machines are blocked . Using "sudo touch /.autorelabel" does not fix this. So far this is the only serious bug I've found.
Zswap is great when you have lots of unused ram and wish to avoid unnecessary SSD/SD wear.
Im not too worried about SSD wear, been running the crap out of one for 11 years it finally died. Not a bad run at all and it was a Samsung 840 SSD
"CENTOS Stream" is a nice place for a penguin to drown!
Sorry for the off-topic. On the approaching iPad Mania, I just have to. Apple fan boys are touting the philosophy that the iPad is greatly indispensable for artwork and content creating. But I thought artwork and content creation was overtaken by . . . AI.
haha, in my case its either hand drawn stick figures or AI
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.
what ever floats your boat, for me the SSD wearing is not an issue, been running one the wrong way for 11 years, it finally died a week ago. Not a bad run. It was a Samsung 840 SSD
Video starts at 11:01
Still very buggy. Switched for the moment to Ubuntu 24.04
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.
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.
I really love fedora so I’m withholding judgement for now, but it makes me very suspicious for sure.
@@jakeharms1386 Understandable, but trust me we would know if redhat is tinkering with our distro. it is community driven after all.
RHEL is not closed source
@@TheCzele RHEL is certainly not open.
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.
Not confused at all zswap is compressed RAM swap not disk, it it were disk it would be called swap LOL
For the commenter saying zswap isn't in RAM...reading the Wikipedia articles on zram and zswap will help you to actually understand the differences. They're written pretty clearly.
I don't know why they don't drop it on time, it never happens.
they want to make sure it's stable
Because they want to get all bugs fixed, especially the xz thing threw it off a bit
Actually today was their target date for release, so they were on-time. but yes I have seen them push it back when they run into bugs like the OpenSSL issue they ran into last October
Fingers crossed🤞. One day it will be a paid-for distro -->> Fee-Dora-ble. Remember who owns it . . . Big Blue!
Why would you want it to be a paid for distro?
@@Timely-ud4rm You can't read? It's not me. It's Red Hat. Are you scared?
@@Timely-ud4rmsavage pro is implying Red Hat (owned by IBM (Big Blue)) could make people pay for Fedora in the future. This is probably due to them screwing up the CentOS distro.
I don't think that will happen Fedora while managed by RedHat, is a community project, if they messed with it, the open source community would descend on them like a pack of wolves.
@@CyberGizmo Good to hear
I started of with Ubuntu 2 years ago. Due to stability issues with my RX5700 videocard, I switched to Fedora. Liked it a lot! Until the anouncement that Red Hat would screw the open source society! And I immediately dropped it, bought an Nvidia and changed back to ubuntu.
Honestly, I dont like the Red Hat move. Actually, I despise it! Lawyers screwing up something good again!
I decided to take a look at 40 just for the sake of it. That testing lasted 5 minutes and made me dislike Gnome even more.
Compares Ubuntu with Fedora
Use XFS on Fedora, which is 13 years older than BTRFS
Lol
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.
should i tell him you can snap shot with tar, an even older utility...LOL
Why they always using those ugly paint wallpapers?
the most shity looking desktop. no bar for apps nothing you need go to the top left and move to bottom middle to start app. so much movement, you can use keyboard but most people are using mouse. I don't have problem with that but still don't like when everything apart in zoom in and zoom out all the apps and the rest. every other desktop are more usable. the rest of the system is OK.
Try the KDE flavor might be more to your liking not many like GNOME, its too weird for most people.
