Fedora 44 Brings GNOME 50, KDE 6.6, and Better Gaming

In case y‘all didn’t know, Fedora uses OpenSuse’s OpenQA testing for their distros and software uodates so you can thank OpenSuse for that or else they’d be in the shitter without it.

If I wanted to be a petty asshole like you, I could point out openSUSE (which you didn't even write correctly) uses Red Hat's RPM for its package management, and would be "nothing" without it.

Wow, I wasn’t trying to be a petty asshole, I was only stating the facts. Google it. Have a good day.

This is, quite possibly, one of the dumbest comments I've read lately.

First off, I don't give a shit about this. I am not "hurt" by what is a normal and expected part of open source development, sharing stuff between projects. I only repeated your argument against you to point out how ridiculous it is.

With that out of the way, it's funny how when you say it, it's "stating the facts", but when I do so, it's "a personal attack". Are you sure you're being honest?

Adorable-One362@reddit

In all honesty, you’re hurt by what I said. If you weren’t you wouldn’t have insulted me in your prior comment if you were mature enough to see this in a non-confrontational matter.

[-]

gmes78@reddit

lol.

Are you really trying to argue that saying "or else they’d be in the shitter without it" is "non-confrontational"?

[-]

Adorable-One362@reddit

You’re not very bright. Have a good day.

Quietly I already won this argument but some of you fail to see it but it was never about me winning, it was at the end I placed a mirror in front of you to see what you became of the very thing you try to pin on me in the beginning.

Stop humiliating yourself. You're not as clever as you're trying to make it seem.

You decided to make a stupid insult on a whim, and have then bent over backwards trying to justify it.

I know you will respond to this to try make yourself the bigger guy just for theater because that’s all that matters to you in reddit.

I'm just seeing how much of a hole you're going to dig yourself into.

[-]

Adorable-One362@reddit

How deep are now in the hole? Everything you said is exactly what you’ve done the entire thread. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Accusation in the mirror.

gmes78@reddit

You're not very good at trolling.

Adorable-One362@reddit

See? Think of me more sweetie. 😂

gmes78@reddit

That's it?

Adorable-One362@reddit

😂😂😂😂 I was right, you have to keep responding fir theoretics to appear as the big guy. You miss me so much don’t you? 😂😂😂😂

Plasma 6.6*

KDE is not a Desktop Environment, as per https://kde.org/

kakarroto007@reddit

"Plasma is KDE's flagship product, offering the most customizable desktop environment available. The KDE community has the driving goal of making it simple by default, and powerful when needed."

that is in giant letters on your link

BashfulMelon@reddit

I used to feel like this was pointless pedantry but I've seen more and more places where it's just called "Plasma Desktop" without the KDE and I think it's not a bad idea to avoid confusion.

I've had a really rough time with Fedora 44 and I'm waiting a week or two to try it again.

I can't seem to properly enable RPMFusion no matter what, I can't reboot via terminal in GNOME because GNOME logs me into an additional TTY session by default, and on KDE I can't uninstall more than half of the default apps I don't need because Discover keeps messing up.

[-]

ParanoidFactoid@reddit

I'm having issues with pipewire/wireplumber getting confused after suspend/sleep and causing desktop/video hangs. There be bugs!

GNOME logs me into an additional TTY session by default

This is really weird, and maybe it's just a coincidence, but I had the same problem with KDE after upgrading to 43; logging in would create two tty sessions, and that caused all kinds of weird problems.

I never figured out what caused it, but after experimenting for a while, I found that if I enabled the option in KDE to automatically log in, it behaved properly and only allocated one tty... and then after disabling auto-login, suddenly everything was working right. No idea why that fixed it.

I’ve seen elsewhere there is a bug with DNF5server which replaced PackageKit. Try updating from a terminal CLI and see if you still have issues.

[-]

Indolent_Bard@reddit

Strange, why would discover be affected by other apps being uninstalled?

[-]

toolschism@reddit

Am I crazy or wasn't plasma 6.6 already available on fedora 43?

I'll be honest I upgraded to 44 yesterday and I haven't really noticed any performance gains on 43 but that's most likely because I'm already using mesa 26.2 which is a pretty noticeable improvement over mesa 25.

[-]

gmes78@reddit

Plasma gets two major updates within each Fedora version.

Fedora 43 released with Plasma 6.4, so it got updated until 6.6.

[-]

BashfulMelon@reddit

Not crazy. You have to be somewhat knowledgeable to know that Fedora updates Plasma during a release cycle. That's too much knowledge for your average distro review.

BashfulMelon@reddit

For developers — and Fedora is often considered to be primarily a developer’s distro

By who?? What makes it a developer's distro? It's nice to use and it doesn't come with outdated software, sure, but everybody benefits from that.

We need to get rid of this whole idea that if you don't have ancient Debian packages in your repository you must be a difficult bleeding edge rolling release distro.
