Fedora Project (F42 is OUT)

We are excited to have Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop as an official edition with Fedora Linux 42!

* Plasma 6.3 brings better drawing tablet support, display improvements, and easier system monitoring
* Some support to ppc64le architecture
* x86 emulation for Arm systems (ty @AsahiLinux contributors)
* And more!

Fedora KDE has long been a strong desktop experience for anyone to use. We're happy to officially recognize its quality and the team behind it!

What do you guys do about breaking home directories in #Linux.

I mean every desktop env after some time gets flaky and then you feel like you wanted a reset but you don't want a reset because it's a lot of work to reconfigure everything and you will probably forget about details.
I mean there's #nixos but despite me liking the idea I don't like the implementation

Are there highly mature #Ansible roles for like #gnome #kde or whatever?

How do you tackle this?

My workstation crashes hard, whenever I leave it alone for long enough for the monitors to turn off. Once that happens, the machine is hard-locked. NumLock doesn't toggle, SSH'ing into the machine is not possible any more.

I'm running Kubuntu 24.04.2 LTS.

Does anyone know how to diagnose this? There's nothing in the dmesg / syslog, it just fully hangs.

@thejpster I haven't had the heart/self hate to try 11 yet. But similar, my daily driver is Linux. I use windows at work, but also "keep my hand in" and have used versions from 1.0
But.. it seems every version now requires me to spend days hacking out and disabling features... and yet still the "window management" bit of the window manager is *still* light years behind what I have with #KDE.

@markstos @oslandia We work closely with Qt contributors, and some #QGIS improvements have driven Qt improvements as well.
But for Wayland in particular, as @nyalld says, the support in Qt is more likely to be driven by Desktop managers like #KDE than specific applications.
If you globally want Qt apps to be better supported in Wayland, we can introduce you to the right contributors who will be happy to fix and improve support ( insert coins here ).

Odd, #LibreOffice does not like having different scaling factors on two monitors.

I've got 1.8x scaling on my left (laptop) monitor and 1.0x on my right (HDMI). It looks like they're both getting 1.8x scaling, so everything is huge on my main (right) monitor.

I had to add QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb to the environment variables using the #KDE #Plasma menu editor to force it to run in X11 mode (XWayland), and now it's fine.
