Fedora 24 launch: week to go!

>>54940255
I wanted to but i couldn't get dnf upgrade to go from 23->24b, cbf backing up everything to do a fresh install

>>54940255
Is anything important coming with Fedora 24? Is Wayland support coming out of the box?

>>54940255
It's still going to be wank.

>wayland
nop, shits still fucked atm

>>54940472
We are going to be stuck with X.Org forever, aren't we?

>>54940482
Is it really a problem though.

>>54940506
X.Org is ancient and relies on hacks and duck tape to even function.

>>54940255
After f22 and f23, I'm tired of having to reinstall every year.

I'm going TV go with Ubuntu 16.04 after my exams are done. Fedora was nice, but I think I'll be happier in an lts release.

I will wait for when RPMfusion is ready.

I wonder if they will include proper font rendering like every other distro has had since day one.

You don't need to reinstall, the package manager can upgrade it

>>54940601
They can't because of licensing issues, just follow this guide.

It didn't work going from 22 to 23.

I'll try it for 24, but if it fails again I'll make the change.

Oh hai hello, old fedora techie reporting in
Never install a fresh Fedora release as your main and only OS
- before having checked the "common bugs" page
- before checking that the "common bugs page" EVEN EXISTS YET
If you're rocking a Fedora as your only OS, wait ~2 weeks before upgrading, so you'll get the bunch of fixes there will inevitably be

Note that I'm not discouraging you to live on leading edge and test things and report bugs, as long as you do it conveniently

Once upon a time I rode the rawhide edge on my personal, main workstation, and it was fun - but I was unemployed too

Take care

>>54940731
that was an emotional rollercoaster

>>54940563
yeah I made the same choice except I went to debian. What DE are you thinking of using?

>>54941222
MATE.

The computers I use Linux on tend to be underpowered, so i prefer lighter DEs like mate.

damn i was really excited about wayland a few years ago but it seems the devs dont have the resources.

i know making a new X aint easy but after years i thought we would have more than RebeccaBlackOS (which didnt even boot on my machine )

>using a distro named after a meme

I'll wait for 6 months before upgrading from 23

My experience with Fedora hasn't been great lately. Has anyone here switched from Fedora to that new OpenSuse rolling-release-with-automatic-testing thing? How has it been?

It will have Wayland support out of the box but the Xorg session will still be default.

>Only argument is silly name
grow up

Wish they brought back the dope names for my favorite GNU OS. Anyone remember Fedora 18 Spherical Cow? Those where the days.

Isn't MATE a massive resource hog these days?
