[NEWS] Fedora 41 is out!
tle:
Fedora 42 is still a bit rough, the whole GCC15's new C23 has introduced quite a number of breaking changes / regressions in many softwares. I am still in the progress of going through all softwares that I am actually using to see if I could get them properly working before the final release day. I greatly welcome extra hands from the community in beta testing
Hasturtium:
Now I’ve been bitten by the gdm Xorg snafu in F41. Managed to squirm into Gnome Classic, switched the display manager to lightdm, rebooted, and the system now only lets me into the onboard video via Gnome Classic and Wayland. What’s the solution here? I’m about this close to just switching to RHEL 10 when it lands.
ClassicHasClass:
I realize this sounds like a non-solution, but the solution for me is to textboot and bring up X11 (or, if I'm feeling masochistic, Wayland) manually -- no display manager at all.

Honestly, that sounds fine. In days of yore (read: Slackware on x86) I'd just change the runlevel at boot; what's the approved methodology in systemd-land?
ClassicHasClass:
Point the symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target to /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target and reboot, and it should come up with a text console login. Log in, do a startx (assuming your .xinitrc is configured) and away you go.
