Upgrade from Fedora 40 to Fedora 41 Beta complete. 40 is an excellent release and I'm excited to see how 41 progresses.

Found a machine to test the Fedora 41 Beta on. Performing the upgrade from 40 now.
Looking forward to giving the Fedora 41 Beta a try. I've not got any spare machines at the moment, so it'll have to be tested in a virtual machine to begin with.
I don't game much these days, but tonight I connected a Xbox controller to my Fedora gaming box for the first time and played some Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr (that's a mouthful) on Steam. Everything just worked and the game plays much better with a controller than with keyboard and mouse. I'm now tempted to move that machine into the living room and connect it to our TV for some big screen gaming.
Spent a minute to clean-up my AppIndicator icons. It's a silly little thing, but the coloured icons looked out of place and whilst they were not triggering me too much, it is nice to have them fit in with the other monochrome icons.
I had a moment of weakness last Friday and moved back to using Debian. I find it mentally difficult to switch to using a different distro, but after a couple of days I decided that I should persist with my self-imposed mission to switch to using Fedora. I've been a Debian user for so long that I feel some sort of brand loyalty towards it, which is just crazy. Anyhow, I think this is what lead to my moment of weakness. Does anyone else get these feelings? I'm not crazy.
And just like that, my month long journey with Fedora is over. I really enjoyed Fedora 40, but ultimately I'm a Debian user at heart. It feels good to be back.
It's good to see that the Fedora Project is asking questions about AI/ML use in Fedora. I suspect this is something Microsoft did not consider asking their Windows 11 users? I'm thinking all of Microsoft's decisions to include AI in Windows were/are financially driven with little consideration given to users. Anyhow, details of the Fedora survey are here: discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-…
Just switched my daily driver from Debian 12 to Fedora 40.
Running Fedora 39 on my Razer Blade 15 and it's almost silent with very little fan noise. Running Windows 11 on the same machine and it sounds like a Boeing 747 on takeoff. WTF is that about?
