[NEWS] Fedora 42
migsutu:
One issue I have noticed is the System Monitor in the GUI doesn't show total Memory, Disk and CPU usage at the top. For the individual apps at the bottom it shows correctly. The error pops up "The page is missing some sensors and will not display correctly." Not sure if anyone else has this issue, otherwise smooth. I have been putting F42 through the ringer today.

At least for 41, there was https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/kdesig/plasma6-x11-unsupported/ . GNOME worked in X11 still, and I think that remains the case in 42.

Well GDM has disabled X11 Session. Users are forced to go with Wayland moving forward. To me it makes no difference because X11 apps can function fine with XWayland

I'll defer to ClassicHasClass's preview before leaping in, but F41 was rather nice. Even managed to enable the HEVC decode and encode for my Radeon W6600 where it hadn't worked on F40.

Yet another reason not to use gdm for session management ...
