I am running Fedora 39 right now and the last time I did a distro upgrade my graphics drivers were a huge PITA. Did your upgrade to 40 went smooth?

  • I have had a LOT of issues, but they’re mostly of the papercut variety - and most of them have to do with Plasma 6 rather than Fedora 40 itself (at least I think so).

    I think my CPU is running hotter on 40 than it was on 39, though.

      Yeah nearly all Fedora KDE issues are direct upstream Plasma issues. And not too many, tried Plasma 6 on Kinoite Rawhide for a while and reported a lot of them.

      You can do the same with COSMIC and help make their release better!

      That doesn’t sound promising, though I am using Gnome, so at least my DE is not getting the biggest upgrade :)

        Yeah, Gnome 46 has been a really solid, small upgrade in my experience. I swear it’s made things smoother and more consistent, plus some of the minor visual tweaks and refinements are welcome. Turns out a lot of what they did is under-the-hood optimizations and improvements to accessibility, so the Gnome desktop update itself has been a small but welcome improvement.

        So far I haven’t had any issues elsewhere I’m Fedora 40, but maybe that’s because I’ve checked for new updates pretty frequently and done some restarts since the upgrade, that might be keeping things fresh.
