Did Fedora 40 break something for you?

BentiGorlich OP , 1 month ago

I decided to upgrade, and so far everything is working fine. I had some hiccups after the installation, but a reboot fixed all of them. Thanks for your input :)

It's a solid release. The only thing that broke were some plasma widgets not yet available for KDE 6.

Can you tell us which GPU and driver versions?

I've been alright here so far with fedora workstation and silverblue, on both NV21 and Cezanne (amdgpu+mesa, no amdgpu-pro or amdvlk)

nvidia RTX 2070 super. But that was from 38 to 39. I am not on 40 yet

Absolutely. It broke any leftover intention of ever trying Ubuntu again.

Nope, not at all. Silverblue here (GNOME), and the upgrade went smooth, nvidia drivers and all.

very nice

I have had a LOT of issues, but they're mostly of the papercut variety - and most of them have to do with Plasma 6 rather than Fedora 40 itself (at least I think so).

I think my CPU is running hotter on 40 than it was on 39, though.

That doesn't sound promising, though I am using Gnome, so at least my DE is not getting the biggest upgrade :)

Everything went smooth for me though my install is fairly pedestrian.

Yes. Numerous COPR repos not updated aside, my sddm theme broke and doesn't detect Qtgraphicaleffects (which is installed). You know what the weirdest part is? There are 2 "dependencies" for the theme: quickcontrols and graphicaleffects, and luckily, quickcontrols was detected properly. I ended up rewriting the theme, and while it works, it is far from where it needs to be. Safe to say, I'm very annoyed.

Edit: I actually did a clean install, as I tried some other distros a few days before F40 released.

Yes, Nvidia drivers broke, I had to remove and reinstall them, ( don't forget to reboot )

Edit: oh, and also my widgets broke, even ones that are made by KDE...

Also ClearClock is broken because it doesn't work on KDE 6

BentiGorlich OP , 1 month ago

I definitely don't want to deal with that. Last time that happened I had to do a clean install which is just pain imo XD

I had to depmod -a, before then my gaming was messed up.

BentiGorlich OP , 1 month ago

what does depmod -a do?

I have had zero issues on my desktop. And on my laptop I have way better battery performance. Mind you both are using AMD graphics

BentiGorlich OP , 1 month ago

Are you using KDE or Gnome?

BRINGit34 , 1 month ago

Just vanilla gnome. I'm pretty basic

BentiGorlich OP , 1 month ago

Nice though. Sounds like I can do the upgrade 😁
