I'm on Fedora 40 KDE spin and just updated to 6.1.2 and it seems to be doing pretty well. The installer isn't something you don't use much nowadays anyway because once you install the first time you can system-upgrade over and over from then on.
12:30 More Information would have listed out all packages to be upgraded in a scrollable list formatted for reading, including version numbers and changelogs. It’s overwhelming for the first post-install massive update, but really nice thereafter.
Thank you for that. Kinda what I figured after the fact but didn't stop it and go back look. Good to know. A little disappointing that you can't click a button and see the details on what it's doing during the update
fedora kde plasma 6 wayland is very buggy i tried switching to plasma x11 but everything just freezes when it boots up. kde plasma 6 works great for me on manjaro
Fedora's installer truly is a pain when it comes to beginner-level users, and even some experienced users, mostly because you need to learn how to deal with it, and the fact that there are key details missing in the installer, such as the RPM Fusion repositories management, also makes the installation process more difficult. Personally, even with all its issues, I still believe that Fedora is one of the best distros for people with moderate understanding of Linux that want a moderately stable experience while staying ahead in software availability. Fedora 40 was a major step in improvement compared to previous releases, but it is far from being perfect.
For dual boot installs, it’s better to use the custom install for Fedora. Also, fedora and OpenSuse handle btrfs sub volumes differently; OpenSuse does it the correct way. Fedora is going have a new web based next next style installer in the next versions and also dnf 5 with fast parallel downloads too. The only fedoras I like are aurora-dx and bazzite; both immutable systems.
I was hoping to test the new installer this go around but it got pushed back to the next release. Gotta be better than the one they have now. Thank you for the info
About TW Discover asking for passwords while updating just add yorself to the wheel group. And about that Fedora off-line update boot just set it inside TB settings. Works the sabe
Theoretically I don't believe so. Tumbleweed updates go through a rigorous suite of testing before being published that no other rolling release does. I think if you use btrfs with snapshots on arch it would be as close as you can get. At least it would have easy rollbacks available. Even the arch wiki recommends to check every arch update to make sure it's not going to break something.
yast is only in opensuse. there's also an offshoot of opensuse called gecko linux os. I can't remember if it has yast in it but I think it does. There's pclinuxos that has a similar control panel to yast but it's been a long time since i used pclinuxos and don't remember if is as in depth as yast, but iirc it's pretty close.

Been eagerly waiting for you to review Fedora KDE spin. You did a good job for listening to us. Thanks
Thank you

Fedora yesterday said that KDE is being promoted to = status as Gnome Workstation on Fedora so I hope that means more attention/support for KDE
I have recently seen more about this, that kde will be at the same status as gnome. That is awesome.

I like Manjaro more than I like fedora as well. My go to is use what works ☺️
waiting for a review of Nobara
It's in the works

Excellent 👍. I'll give that a shot. Thank you
Can arch be as stable as tumbleweed 😢

@@LowTechLinux what other distros come with control center like yast
yast is only in opensuse. there's also an offshoot of opensuse called gecko linux os. I can't remember if it has yast in it but I think it does.
There's pclinuxos that has a similar control panel to yast but it's been a long time since i used pclinuxos and don't remember if is as in depth as yast, but iirc it's pretty close.
