Update. I am continually updating daily. About 2 weeks this broke both kmail and konqueror, with neither loading. Bug reports have been submitted to KDE, link below.

Otherwise system has been stable and fast with no other major hickups.

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.

Good question. I have been using Wayland for my day to day since F40 so I can't really comment on it. Wayland has been quite stable since the install yesterday. I'm using an RDNA2 graphics card if that makes any difference.

Just finished fresh install of Fedora 42 KDE. Smooth and simple install. No issues found as of yet with the exception of the Discover showing 61 available to install even though command line with dnf says everything is up to date. Fast, responsive. Moving up from Fedora 40. Very happy to get kmail on ppc64le!

Thanks for the tip! I didn't realize that.

It reboots, motherboard beeps, and then monitor never comes alive again. Have to do a hard power off.

I am running a Radeon RX5500XT.

I am not sure on fast-reset on or off. Is this a setting on the board?

Yes I have been getting used to just powering it off. I was curious what other people were experiencing.

What is the experience with the latest Fedora and Suse versions? Traditionally I have used Fedora, and version 40 with KDE6 and Plasma is very very nice. I have several things that effect my system, like Updates through Discover showing up but handing on installation through the GUI. DNF update through the console works fine. The other issue I seem to have I am not able to restart the system. It will not reboot back, it require me turning the whole computer off and then back on. I am running a Blackbird with the 4 core processor. I experimented with Suse and it seemed like some of these issues didn't happen with it.

I guess I should have mentioned I am using this machine as my day to day desktop machine. Wondering if anyone else is doing this as well.
