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.

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?

Background I was using got removed, got a better one anyway

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.
