#Fedora Linux 41 will officially release next Tuesday (October 29).
Congratulations and thank you, Fedora community members, upstream projects, and *gestures around* everyone who puts so much work into building software in communities
@theshatterstone54 I am not, usually. I have Mate, and compiz is one of the compositors available with Mate-tweak and it makes a lot of fun effects like wiggling frames around terminals and translucent backgrounds, BUT, it does not work properly with X2Go which I rely on for a number of functions, so usually I do not enable a compositor (no compositor works with X2Go). I do wish they would fix that.

Explain yourself
@theshatterstone54 If you’re speaking to me, that’s a bit too vague.
Are you using Compiz? In 2024???

Isn’t rawhide the “rolling” version? If so, it does not really count as 42, just what packages 42 is likely gonna have.
@Strit They use the rolling version to develop the stable releases.
