Just as the title says. Any game I play except minecraft will eventually make gnome crash and send me back to the login manager. This happened on with my 1650 and on my RX 5500. I thought maybe something was wrong with my install so I reinstalled fedora on a new ssd and it's still happening. I'm not sure what to do but if someone is willing to guide me I'd like to make an actual bug report.

For those unaware, bootc is a tool for in-place operating system updates using container images. bootc is used in Fedora CoreOS and will be used in Fedora Atomic eventually, slowly replacing rpm-ostree.

Good day,

Could someone advise on this? For some reason firefox does not want to use the kde theming, menus, title bars, pop ups etc.

As per attached, that should state "Breeze" just like in arch and opensuse.

Re-installing does not help, I have the auto-system theme selected.

(!)Solution:

Settings > Application Style > GNOME/GTK Application Style

If you have installed Fedora KDE it should be set to breeze by default.

1. Change it to the "default" option and then apply.
2. Change it back to breeze then apply and you should be set.

I'm sure I saw somewhere some while ago a way to remove old/obsolete packages from an system-upgraded install. Packages that wouldn't be removed because they're dependencies somewhere still.

For example, the xorg drivers can be removed from my F40 when upgraded to f41 install. As if I'd installed it from the to-be f41 everything iso.

I can't find it from the documentation; can someone point me in the right direction, please.

I can't quite remember but I think it was an official Fedora package that one 'installs' which contains a script to remove obsolete packages from the prior Fedora version.

UPDATE: found it. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/#sect-clean-up-retired-packages

Hi everyone!

For a while, I've been using the surface kernel for my Surface Go using Fedora 40. The other day I tried to clone my installation with Clonezilla to put it on another old computer I had lying around.

It didn't work and I have a suspicion that it didn't because of the surface kernel so I'm trying to use the stock kernel instead.

After a few modifications, usinge uname -a, this is the output I get: Linux surface-go-fedora-de-guillaume 6.10.10-200.fc40.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Sep 12 18:26:09 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux

When using uname -mrs, this is the output I get: Linux 6.10.10-200.fc40.x86_64 x86_64

Can someone with more knowledge than me confirm that everything is back to stock form as I don't know if the SMP PREEMPT thing shoud be there? Doe's anyone know if the Surface Kernel is probably what prevented me from cloning my installation and putting it on another computer?

Initially I didn't like Fedora Flatpaks, but they have grown on me. What I really like about them is how they are built directly from Fedora RPMs.

Unlike Flathub, they don't pull and build dependencies directly off the internet (which may not get timely updates). Instead those dependencies come from Fedora's repos.

The way Fedora Flatpaks get built are also much more consistent since they just use Fedora's infrastructure. Meanwhile flatpaks on Flathub may be repackaged Appimages, snaps, tar.gzs, built from source, etc.

Though there is the obvious downside of Fedora Flatpaks which is missing media codecs. So if an app needs codecs, I just end up using Flathub versions. And Flathub for whatever isn't in the Fedora Flatpaks repo.

Hey, folks, I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

I have a laptop that has been messed up for a while, and I just got it repaired. I was using as basically a desktop, external monitor, mouse, keyboard. I just got it repaired and would like to use it as a laptop again. My problem is that something like 2 years ago, I edited some setting so that I could close the lid of the laptop and it wouldn't suspend, but I can't remember how I did it, and now it won't suspend when I close it, which is less than convenient for use as a laptop.

I googled, but it's not in GNOME tweaks anymore, and I'm not sure how to do any of the stuff I see people posting about terminal commands. I can follow instructions for command line stuff, but I sort of need it spelled out for me from step 1.

Any help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello all, basically the title... I just want to be sure so that there are no issues. It is one of the newer ones that have the kernel modules open source.

If I have to ill wipe and rebuild, but I thought it might be an interesting experiment to convert it and see how well it goes...

Is it likely to be a significant undertaking? Or just a few commands ?

Looks like a pretty stable supplement
