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 Iβm tempted to upgrade, but 41 is currently rock solid for me, so Iβll probably wait a while before upgrading. Or maybe not.
The GNOME extensions site/service has been sluggish to the point of unuseable for me lately. It's behaving like a site under heavy load, although I have no data to back that up.
Taking a look at the current state of Debian testing. I've installed it on my old MacBook Pro and it's working nicely. It looks like Debian Trixie is going to be a really nice release.
Playing around with my old ThinkPad X220 tonight. This thing is over 10 years old and runs Debian 12 (GNOME) just fine. Also, I forgot just how good the keyboard is on this thing, it's amazing!
Fedora 41 upgrade ππ
The new default terminal application in Fedora is pretty. I love that it has the Dracula theme included in its theme options.
