#Fedora42

#Fedora42 #Bluetooth #luks I finally figured out how to enable bluetooth in the boot screen so I can unlock my crypted root fs with my Bluetooth keyboard. It is as easy as
`add_dracutmodules+=" bluetooth "` in `/etc/dracut.conf.d/bluetooth.conf ` followed by dracut -f . Not sure why I didn't go it earlier.

But, the moment I opened Zen Browser suddenly the filesystem went read-only. Coincidence, I think not. This also happened when I was offline. I opened Zen it showed me the webpage, all good. I reloaded it, it showed me the classic thing "something unexpected happened". All good. But when I closed the #browser, suddenly the FS went read-only.

So, today morning I opened the laptop with #wifi turned off and checked the system. It was going alright. The filesystem was behaving normally like it should. I also double-checked it using `mount | grep "btrfs"` and `fastfetch`. To check the nvme drive, I used `sudo smartctl --xall /dev/nvme0n1p3` + the diagnostics tool in the bios menu.

I'm about to install #Fedora42 on a neighbours new computer.

I know, I'm a glutton for support complexity.

But I think, having tried a bunch of OSes last year, while I didn't personally like Fedora for some specific reasons. It seemed really stable and suitable for end users compared to many Debian based systems that seemed to be falling all over themselves recently.

Maybe it's money. Perhaps it's organisation. not sure.

Wish me luck!

Put the KDE Plasma Spin of #fedora42 on my 15inch 2015 MacBook Pro Retina.

Works great, apart from the legacy Nvidia driver, which ran at about 1 frame every 30 seconds. Nouveau driver working well instead, at least for basic usage. I suspect things like Blender will struggle. A shame it doesn't seem possible to get legacy drivers working well.

However, much better than Ubuntu. APT ran like a dog and made it unusable.
