Upgrading from Fedora 41 to Fedora 42
If someone were to ask me which Linux distro has provided the best desktop experience, I wouldn't hesitate to answer: Fedora Workstation 41. So of course I upgraded to Fedora 42.

Status
Daily driver (Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3) upgraded to Fedora 42. No issues to speak of. I love that I can do a release upgrade and then just get on with my day. Perfect.
Upgraded my secondary machine to Fedora 42. The upgrade was quick and error free. Will do my daily driver next, after I run a few backup routines.
I did not upgrade to Fedora 42 on release day. Maybe tomorrow?
Fedora 42 is due for release tomorrow and I’m tempted to upgrade, but 41 is currently rock solid for me, so I’ll probably wait a while before upgrading. Or maybe not.
Fedora 41 upgrade 😚👌
The new default terminal application in Fedora is pretty. I love that it has the Dracula theme included in its theme options.
I purchased my current laptop a year ago. It’s a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s and it’s been nearly perfect for my needs. I got the model with 16GB of RAM, I should have opted for the 32GB model. My next laptop will have 32GB or more.
Looking forward to upgrading my daily driver to Fedora 41. I’ve been running 41 on a test system for the last month and it’s been solid.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it is far easier to set a custom new tab page and create a custom search engine in Firefox on iOS than it is in Firefox on my Linux desktop. This does not seem right.
New accent colours in GNOME 47 are nice. I like slate.

The Insecurity of Debian - unix.foo In the end, the choice between Debian and Red Hat isn’t just about corporate influence versus community-driven development.
