Fedora Linux 37
- CameronNemo 4y agoWow arm32 support dropped, sha-1 deprecated, and openssl 1.1 deprecated. Fedora sure is upholding their "cutting edge" reputation.
- athorax 4y agoI'm honestly more surprised that they are shipping Python 3.11
- whalesalad 4y ago3.10 and 3.11 are not too far off, afaik there aren't any incompatibilities. Would be interested to see the net diff on that update, methinks it was mostly just updating the pkg version and putting a new build hash in the manifest.
- ehutch79 4y agoI ran into some with pinned, out of date, dependancies. Specifically cellery
- Chiron1991 4y agoThat's an issue of dependency management though, not the runtime. Contrary to other distros, Fedora actually has a multitude of Python versions in their core repositories. If you need 3.9 but 3.11 comes preinstalled, simply `dnf install python3.9`
- ehutch79 4y agoYou are correct! For us in particular, celery is already on the chopping block for another package, so we haven't bothered fixing it yet.
- unixhero 4y agoSha1 has collisions risk, so it's good to get rid of it!
- doublepg23 4y agoMy poor beagle bone black is becoming more and more of a paperweight :’)
- whalesalad 4y ago> The Raspberry Pi 4 is now officially supported in Fedora Linux, including accelerated graphics. pretty neat!
- sigmonsays 4y agodoes anyone use fedora as their desktop? when i worked with RHEL,centos and rpm, I liked it quite a bit. However, ever switching to ubuntu, everything just works better and it seems like more people use ubuntu based distributions. If fedora software is actually newer, it might be a worthy desktop
- wdfx 4y agoI've been using Fedora as daily driver since the i3 spin was made official (which actually was only a few versions ago). I am much preferring the experience vs. [k]ubuntu.

- h4waii 4y agoI’ve been using Fedora since release ~30 on desktop and laptop, previously a Debian user for like 15 years. I think it switched cause I wanted Wayland and more recent Gnome at the time. Everything more or less always seems to work without issue, I’ve done upgrades, swapped out hardware over the years and never had any show-stopping bugs. More recently I became a package maintainer and it’s been an excellent process, from the documentation to the community. I used to be weary of RPM and the “dependency hell” but it’s not really a thing anymore. I like picking the right tool for the job, and so far Fedora has worked out well in this regard, but Ubuntu, MacOS, Windows, etc all have their place.
- spicyusername 4y agoI've been using Fedora Desktop since ~25 or so. It also typically "just works" and has much newer packages in it's repos.
- maztaim 4y agoFedora software is typically newer. I enjoy using it over Ubuntu, but my work experience kind of influenced me to be more comfortable with Fedora over Ubuntu or others. It just works well for me, but that could be my years of using it.
- doublepg23 4y agoLong time Ubuntu user turned Fedora user (35) and I haven’t regretted it for a second. Awesome desktop for people who enjoy GNOME.
- Khrole 4y agoI have F37 KDE working with nvidia on wayland without hassle. Fresh install on desktop with snapshot images using this guide: https://sysguides.com/install-fedora-37-with-snapper-and-grub-btrfs/ https://sysguides.com/install-fedora-37-with-snapper-and-gru... Also, I successfully upgraded my laptop with encrypted F36 with snapshots to F37 using DNF System Upgrade. Thank you Fedora community!
- JohnTHaller 4y agoI only just started playing with Fedora in the last week while improving Wine support on the PortableApps.com Platform and I'm impressed with it so far. Loading up Fedora 37 now. For folks who need Wine on Fedora 37, follow the usual instructions[1] but update the repo link from 36 to 37[2]. 1. https://wiki.winehq.org/Fedora https://wiki.winehq.org/Fedora 2. https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/36/winehq.repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/36/winehq.repo
- favadi 4y agoLast time I heard Fedora 37 will remove hardware acceleration for decoding video via VA-API. Not sure if there is a workaround yet, but I image it will be a deal breaker for many people.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoI have the same concern and it's a major one for me. I don't like to switch to distros that destroy such basic QoL functionality as HW decode and turn your laptop into loud battery draining stovetop when watching a Youtube tutorial, without also providing a quick and easy workaround. And I have not found any quick and easy fix on how to revert this (all search results for me yield just threads of people being annoyed with this decision rather than solutions) which is why I'll be staying away from vanilla Fedora for now despite being a favorite distro of mine. Worse, my other favorite distro, OpenSUSE, will follow suit on this, despite being a EU company not affected by the US SW patents issue. The super ironic thing is that, after the Linux community preaching for so many years that "AMD works best with Linux, always buy AMD, f*ck Nvidia", only AMD users are affected by the axing of VA-API, as Nvidia and Intel have alternative/proprietary APIs for hardware decoding to fall back to which can be easily enabled out of the box, versus the "just works™" AMD users which are currently screwed by this. I hope G.E. from the Nobara Project[0] will fix this and give us a great Fedora 37 spin with batteries included. [0]: https://nobaraproject.org/ https://nobaraproject.org/
- mroche 4y agoI believe these should be covered by RPM Fusion now, via the following packages: - mesa-va-drivers-freeworld - mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld https://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/free/mesa-freeworld.git/ https://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/free/mesa-freeworld.git/
- Mikeb85 4y ago> remove hardware acceleration for decoding video via VA-API ??? They only removed hardware acceleration for patent-encumbered codecs... And FYI the most popular streaming sites (Netflix, YouTube, PrimeVideo, etc...) all use royalty-free codecs (AV1, VP9) so won't be affected...
- bricss 4y agoHooray! Upgraded flawlessly from 36 to 37 on Win11+WSL2 setup in a matter of several minutes, and it works like a charm \m/ (as always)
- pleb_nz 4y agoI have an M1 pro MacBook now... Moved from fedora. I miss fedora.
- zephyros 4y agoNot a typical use-case, but I used Fedora Server for my personal media server (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Syncthing just to name a few) and it's been great (Though I do have to fix things occasionally since I live on the edge and auto-update every night). Since most of my service runs in Podman container, I'm contemplating switching to rpm-ostree based one like Fedora IOT, but haven't got the time to get around it yet. Used to use Silverblue for my personal laptop, but I switched to Mac M1 that I got from my job. I miss how simple and configurable Linux is compared to Mac, and if my next gig won't require a Mac I'll probably go back to Silverblue.
- tholdem 4y agoI've been running Fedora Silverblue for about 3 or 4 years on my main laptop. Just got a notification that Fedora 37 is available. Clicked download in Gnome Software. Took about 5 minutes to download. Rebooted and now I'm on Fedora Silverblue 37. I don't know any other desktop OS that has this easy and fast upgrade flow. I'm loving it.
- doublepg23 4y agoYeah, when I was playing with Silverblue before the 36 release it was wild having the download speed of the mirror being the bottleneck.
