From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did Fedora 40 break something for you? (gehirneimer.de)

I am running Fedora 39 right now and the last time I did a distro upgrade my graphics drivers were a huge PITA. Did your upgrade to 40 went smooth?

I upgraded from 39 to 40 and I think the only issues I had were:

Background I was using got removed, got a better one anyway
A few gnome extensions stopped working and I had to update them or find an alternative
Had to re-create virtual disk mapped to real disk for booting windows installation in virtual box (there is a sonicwall VPN I have to use for work which only works on Windows)

I think that was it!

I have had some strange behaviour from Firefox saying it's become unresponsive a few times and at the same time Thunderbird but that seems to have fixed itself now

I had that happen a few times. This time I downloaded those backgrounds again (from gnome-backgrounds repository). Still, it's pretty annoying to have this happen.

I upgraded just before the beta. Discovered a mutter crash, reported it, it was fixed in a day or so.
