When talking about the kernel, Windows actually skipped 3 major versions iirc from the top of my head. Windows 8 was Windows (NT) 6.2, and Windows 10 skipped that version number to, well, 10.

Federa release numbers are not Redhat release numbers.

It’s a mastodon post where “Fedora” is typed as a hashtag, and then it is followed by “Linux 41…”. The title should say “Fedora Linux 41 will be released on October 29”

Very exciting. I’m hyped for the improvements to the touch screen keyboard. I have a surface that I usually use in tablet mode
I’ve been using it since the beta, some small hiccups with the new file picker (didn’t work with Steam initially) but everything is working nicely now. Only regression I’ve noticed is that with the new nautilus based file picker, you can’t drag a file from Nautilus to the file picker and have the file picker switch to that location. Hope that gets addressed soon.
I’m running the KDE spin, because, well, just because. It was a bit strange to think about it, like “Nautilus? I’m not having that problem. Wait a minute”. This year I stopped using GNOME, nothing specific about it, just wanted to try Plasma. Wanted to experience the old convenience of Linux to just switch to another DE with a couple of commands.

@theshatterstone54 I am not, usually. I have Mate, and compiz is one of the compositors available with Mate-tweak and it makes a lot of fun effects like wiggling frames around terminals and translucent backgrounds, BUT, it does not work properly with X2Go which I rely on for a number of functions, so usually I do not enable a compositor (no compositor works with X2Go). I do wish they would fix that.

Windows skipped only one number: Windows 9, but we skipped 35 releases. Obvious sign of Linux superiority.
Oops, fixed. The post had “#Fedora” so instinctively I ignored the hashtag.

@Gingernate @that_leaflet Really talking Fedora 41.

I upgraded yesterday, thinking I may have not enough time to do it the rest of the year. It already works great in my AMD Ideapad.

Already? I’m still using Fedora 39 since that’s the only version supported by CUDA Toolkit :S

Isn’t rawhide the “rolling” version? If so, it does not really count as 42, just what packages 42 is likely gonna have.
@Strit They use the rolling version to develop the stable releases.
Explain yourself
@theshatterstone54 If you're speaking to me, that's a bit too vague.

I’m upgrading ASAP just for ROCM 6.2 because almost nothing seems to work ever since I’ve updated to 6.1.2 for some reason
