Fedora is an almost bleeding-edge Linux distribution with an enthusiastic open source community behind it. While its association with Red Hat, and by extension, IBM, doesn't sit well with some, the distro has always been popular among desktop Linux users.

Almost six months after its earlier release, the Fedora developers have brought out the Fedora 42 release that's packed with many new upgrades.

Let's dive in without further ado. 😄

1. Anaconda is now Native Wayland

Something is wrong with Baloo 6.5.0 under KDE Plasma (Arch). I observe an extremely high CPU utilization of the baloofileextractors process. Can anyone confirm this or have other hints?

The wallpaper is just a cropped image from the scans of the games manual found here, note these are spoilers!, Tunic is an absolutely lovely game I have been playing on my Switch and I highly recommend it to people who really enjoy the difficulty of older Nintendo games but want a more polished experience. The way the game integrates the "manual" is really intriguing

For a while I was experimenting with different plasma themes but I landed back on the good old reliable gruvbox dark theme.

Edit: my apologies for not perfectly aligning two of the images in Gimp, I forgot to press the button that aligns them horizontally and not just vertically :p

As the title said, I customized my system according to what I liked. It's probably a mess of features and design elements cobbled together from the OS's I've used (or would like to use).

There's also some features I've customized that is hard to show via screenshots, like mouse gestures to move windows around different screens and virtual desktops.

I don't think I've achieved everything I want here, but it has gone way further than I've imagined it'd go.

This is my first time making one of these (:

It's getting tedious to put in my password every time I open YaST, I know what I'm doing and since I'm the only one who uses my computer the security risk is something I'm willing to take. I found an Ubuntu forum post but the solution didn't work for me. Any ideas?

Made this when I initially installed EndeavourOS awhile ago, unfortunately in recent versions of kwin the setup I'm using to round the corners of my windows and give them an outline no longer works, so I'll have to change it.

Seeing as I'll have to come up with something new soon, if anyone has any tips on how to make something better please let me know, personally I feel like I'm not using KDE's widgets to their full potential here, but I can't figure out how to add more without making it feel cluttered.

Bar: Latte Dock with:

1. Virtual Desktop Bar
2. Split Digital Clock
3. Latte Separator - for the thin separator lines

Rest are default applets, application menu (has the material design rocket icon), system tray, etc.

The system tray icons can be obtained by using the Vimix Plasma Theme

Color scheme: DecayCE, some of the themes are available in their repo, and some (like the plasma color scheme) were ported by me. (ported technically isn't right, i just typed in some hex codes lmao)

Firefox stuff:

1. Cascade CSS theme
2. Tab Center Reborn - for the vertical tabs - using the cascade css integration
3. [NightTab](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/a

My first time trying to rice KDE Plasma. Surprisingly good, though, considering little effort was put. I just solarized-darkening everything in sight.

This is my first rice, it's a simple one but not really "just the defaults".

Even though it wasn't captured in the screenshot, the mouse cursor is also changed.

The wallpaper is this one, from WallpaperCave.

I'm using the Latte Dock, but the above bar is a Plasma panel, not a Latte panel.
