Fedora 32 released The Fedora
32 distribution release is out, in workstation, server, and CoreOS variants. " Following our 'First' foundation, we’ve updated key
programming language and system library packages, including GCC 10, Ruby
2.7, and Python 3.8. Of course, with Python 2 past end-of-life, we’ve
removed most Python 2 packages from Fedora. A legacy python27 package is
provided for developers and users who still need it. In Fedora Workstation,
we’ve enabled the EarlyOOM service by default to improve the user
experience in low-memory situations." | | 2:52p |

Schaller: Fedora Workstation : Swamp draining for 6 years Christian Schaller writes
about the desktop improvements found in Fedora 32 — and beyond. " We spent a lot of time and energy over the last 6 years to get to
where we are now, putting in place a lot of the basic building blocks
needed to make Linux a great desktop operating system. And it feels great
that just as we kick of the new line of Lenovo laptops running Fedora we
are also entering a new phase of development where we can move beyond
getting our basic infrastructure in place, but we can really start taking
advantage of it to rapidly improve the experience we are providing even
more. A good example is the Firefox work mentioned above, where we finally
could move on from ‘make it work with Wayland and PipeWire, to ‘lets take
advantage of these new pieces to make Firefox on Linux better’." |
