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.

Roughly 2 weeks ago, I changed my GNOME desktop to use Dark Style so that I could test some prefers-color-scheme CSS styles. I've not changed it back since.
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.
With the release of GNOME 47, I’m most looking forward to persistent remote desktop sessions. I use GNOME’s RDP feature under 46 and it’s pretty great, apart from the non persistent thing.
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.
Every now-and-again my laptop gets really hot. I'm pretty sure the culprit is GNOME Tracker, but I'm not sure I want to resolve the issue. Winter is coming!
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.
