I’m extremely disappointed with Gnome 44and Fedora(and KDE for that matter too). Otherwise the CUSTOM installer wouldn’t recognize available empty space that I intended to use for the boot sector. Doing a custom install with Debian on the same drive – I needed to use the ADVANCED custom install. Please NOTE - do not bypass the options to install an initial user, or allow root login if you need it. One thing I did have trouble with is the installer. So far no problems with systemctl malfunctioning. It is possible to install custom icons, but the default versions are hard to differentiate. One thing I DON’T care for in Gnome or Budgie is the bland icon representation in NEMO. įor my own convenience I also installed dnfdragora, which works fine with root permissions, and I prefer over “Software”. Video plays with no problems as long as you have the codecs installed. You may need to install a few addons like – 38 – to play certain video codecs. It auto-rescaled to 100% after the Gnome install.īudgie is a beautiful – functional desktop. after adjusting scaling in Gnome (go to - settings – display ), I discovered that the missing component in Budgie was now also resolved. I almost gave up, and installed Gnome desktop, which also initially presented 200% display scaling. I was unable to adjust display scale from 200% to 100%. This time I decided to try Fedora Budgie. I had been using Fedora almost exclusively since Fedora Core 1. Heads up folks - I just installed Fedora 38 after 9 months without Fedora due to systemctl problems on Fedora 36. Official spins for the Budgie desktop environment and Sway tiling Wayland compositor are now available! The expectation is that this will result in performance improvements in future versions. Profiling will be easier from Fedora 38, thanks to changes in its default build configuration.The variable versions of the Noto CJK fonts are now used for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The Noto fonts are now the default for Khmer and Thai.RPM now uses the Rust-written Sequoia OpenGPG parser for better security.This means that, if a service delays your machine from powering off, it will be much less disruptive than in the past. The length of time that system services may block shutdown has been reduced.The latest Linux kernel, version 6.2, brings extended hardware support, bug fixes and performance improvements.Under-the-hood changes throughout Fedora Linux 38įedora Linux 38 features many under the hood changes. I will try to get back to it in time, but whatever is happening is clearly an edge issue, since it is not consistent across all users, and with the use of Fedora 37 being only a fraction of the Pi population, whatever the issue is, may not be isolated any time soon.You are in control. Unfortunately, I did not have time then or since to keep chasing the issue. Nor is this a new issue, there were several Fedora community members that noted that there have been issues with the drivers and video support as well. There is definitely a driver issue of some type or some element of the XWayload or Xorg WIndows X that hates me. But Gnome Display Manager would just abort and refuse to run. I customized the boot sequence, and got the chance to mount the boot and root file system, so was able to get root access, and started to tweak the boot configuration, which worked in that I could get into the system via serial console or ssh. That suggests there is something about my Pi4B that is odd, but I tried 3 different Pi4B devices, multiple SD cards, different monitors, different power supplies, and even different monitors. The moderator got the GUI to come up as well. Specific to Fedora, I spent about 30 hours working with the Fedora community moderators, trying to get Fedora 37 Workstation for ARM64 with explicit Pi4B support to work. If you own a Pi you own right to using the codecs supported by the hardware, that is one the reasons Pi devices are designed with rather robust and extensive video features for a micro-controller/micro-computer level device. Why would they remove codec support then it is already licensed for the Pi hardware? That really seems odd.
