[NEWS] Fedora 43 Beta - please help the community test this release

(1/3) > >>

tle:
Yet another cycle with Fedora. The Fedora 43 Beta is out but AFAIK it is a bit edgy, that is some applications and games have regressions (for example Xonotic). However there are apps that have been fixed for example GNOME Loupe. Please have a go at it and report all bugs you could find.

The Fedora 43 runs on the new GNOME 49.rc (which is quite polished compared to the GNOME 48) and we all know the Wayland is going to be the de facto in Fedora 44 or GNOME 50. Other changes are:

* Newer version of GCC, LLVM
* Kernel 6.17.0.rc
* DNF5! - please test it thoroughly
* and more rust-toolings... just kidding, Fedora has not joined Ubuntu on the 'rustic' bandwagon yet, in fact the uutils/coreutils is so out-of-date in Fedora and I do not think Fedora will ever replace GNU coreutils with the rust version.

GNOME 49.rc runs perfect! No issue with animation nor functionalities.

I also give KDE Plasma a go too and so far I have not found any issue.

Chromium runs fine (a bit faster than Fedora 42 and does not have memory leak anymore however it is HUNGRY for RAM! Chewing 13GB RAM on average on my box). GNOME Web 49 is getting better, it works with most websites that I usually browser. Firefox is basically the same, stable but hopefully JIT and WASM support will be officially supported one day.

tle:
Looking good so far.

Xonotic no longer crash, in fact I think the crash was related to Fade Coronas GPU option

0ad was unfortunately disabled for ppc64le, I am trying to get the maintainer to backport some patches to get it build again https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2396311

tle:
XFCE runs flawlessly as expected.

It's unfortunate that many X11-based WM are not picked up by GDM (Wayland only now) so I have to use SDDM instead.

I have run F43 KDE Desktop Beta downloaded. The Live CD loaded up the OS and seems to be good. General snappy performance on my Blackbird. I tried installing onto a spare nvme card I had. Install goes through fine, however during boot it crashes out and doesn't load into the GUI startup wizard. I will experiment more shortly on it.
