It's a slow day here at work. So I decided to embrace being an agent of chaos and update my main system to Fedora 40 on day one of release.

Time will tell if today remains a slow day.

(Remember to always backup your systems before an update, kids)

The kernel-core scriptlet sure seems to be taking its time ... Been stuck here for about 15 minutes ....

Turns out the proprietary Nvidia A2000 GPU driver isn't happy. Who could have guessed...

Which gives me a nice excuse to get rid of Gnome and see how the KDE spin installs!

Time to do a fresh install then move all my old data and home folder to the clean install.

Thanks @fedora for making a slow day eventful and fun 😊

@fedora

Does anyone know why the job packagekit-offline.service/start has been running for 12+ minutes after a clean install?

What chu doin' there Fedora?

Oh, nice. Anyway to know if it was actually hung or just taking its sweet time? I decided to just reinstall again. That way I can look at the system before running an update.

Kinda what I figured. Just gonna disable automatic system updates from discover and run the updates through dnf. See if that helps.

From what I'm seeing the update goes through. But when I makes a new init image it freezes.

I can't run just a dracut without it just stalling.

Gonna try a new ISO image to see if it makes a different (probably won't, but worth a shot).

I wonder if it's waiting on the proccess to finish before it can complete. Might be a theory. I think I'm gonna just let it sit overnight and see if it completes. If not, we roll back to 39 and wait for a few fixes. Or give a Debian install a shot.

Recently I discovered that on Pixel phones you can tap the back of the phone twice to bring down the notification bar. However, this is so clunky and barely works.

What will it take for Google to just bring back the rear fingerprint reader with the ability to swipe down on that for notifications?

They took something useful and well liked, for what? Software that barely works, is slower and is objectively worse than the option that worked?

Been using Silverblue on my Surface Pro 4 now for about a week so. Really enjoy it. A bit of a learning curve but overall a nice experience. My only complaint is that using rpm-ostree for packages does require a reboot. Which I understand why, but it does take some extra time. However, that is very minor and once you're set up with all the packages you need that doesn't become an issue. It's a good way to force you to stop and think "do I really need to install this package?"

@bragefuglseth Yep. It's only supposed to be for very minimal uses and a last resort. I still need to play with toolbox more but overall it's sold. It'll only improve as time goes on. The only other complaint is the leaning on gnome software app heavily. However, that's not really a part of Silverblue but one of the many complaints I have regarding gnome.

@og oh yeah! It's a great experience with the surface-linux kernel. Everything runs great. Touchscreen, pen, and keyboard app make for a solid way to use the device.
