  1. ARMv9 drops support for ARMv7 and ARMv8-32 (AArch32), so it's 64-bit only from that point on.
  2. Summary The Fedora Asahi SIG and the Asahi Linux project have announced the release of Fedora Asahi Remix 39, the new flagship Linux distribution for Apple Silicon Macs, supporting the majority of M1 and M2 Macs. Quotes My thoughts In three short years, the vast majority of Apple Silicon Macs have gone from being completely unable to run Linux to having a distribution with a polished experience that many x86 machines would love to have. It's likely to be a game-changer in the sense of raising the bar for what is expected for a high quality desktop Linux experience on every platform, and much of the work done for Fedora Asahi Remix paves the way for a much more useful desktop Linux experience on ARM with other machines in the future (such as the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s).

  3. Summary A month after introducing the initial Fedora Slimbook (16-inch) model, a new 14-inch model without an NVIDIA GPU has been added to the lineup based on initial feedback. Quotes My thoughts The initial feedback for the laptop was largely positive with the notable "head-scratcher" around having an NVIDIA card in the laptop, so this new model without an NVIDIA GPU provides an option for people who do not want it. It also shows the commitment to engaging with the community to provide branded options. The discounts for the Fedora Linux 39 release and for Fedora contributors are great to help promote the product within the initial user base.

  4. Apparently you can request a custom layout (which theoretically could be asking for the ANSI layout). I don't know why it's only ISO layouts, though.
  5. Summary Slimbook and the Fedora Project jointly launch the Fedora Slimbook, a new high-end co-branded laptop that ships with Fedora Workstation preloaded. Quotes My thoughts This follows the partnership with Lenovo in 2020 to launch ThinkPads preloaded with Fedora. Unlike the Lenovo Fedora Edition ThinkPads, the Fedora Slimbook is fully co-branded and includes dedicated support for the software and hardware. Fedora is clearly aiming to broaden its user base and make its offerings more accessible to the general audience.

  6. Input Leap is a fork of Barrier (which is a fork of Synergy) that supports the InputCapture portal interface to allow KM applications to work on Wayland environments. It is packaged in Fedora Linux 39, I don't know about other distributions.
  7. It's true that Valve contracts Collabora to do a fair bit of work too. That said, NVK in particular is a joint effort between Collabora and Red Hat folks.
  8. Apologies for not reading the whole thread, it's very long... I don't know if anyone else has suggested this, but what would be cool is if LTT worked with the Linux driver developers (who are notably not generally the GPU makers) to help test and qualify performance of the Linux drivers across games to help make the Linux gaming experience better. Notably, the folks at Red Hat are the largest group of developers working on the Linux graphics driver stack. They're also working on rebuilding the open source NVIDIA driver for better performance. If MarkBench was open source and worked on Linux, then LTT and the Red Hat graphics folks could collaborate on driving better gaming performance on Linux. @Matthew Miller(the Fedora Project Leader) might be able to help with establishing connections to make that happen.
  9. Linus' setup is absolutely crazy compared to what any Linux developer has. I know of no one who has anything approaching Linus' setup, and that definitely compounds the problem. If there were Linux desktop developers with access to that kind of setup, then it'd be possible to improve the support for it.
  10. This is very flawed reasoning, because Python in data science is done with libraries that pull all the real computation logic out of Python and into C++ (with also support for OpenCL or CUDA when working with GPU accelerated compute). Moreover, compilation processes for languages like Rust, Go, Julia, etc. could be argued as worse than Python's, because Python's AOT and JIT processes can result in more optimal high level code paths while also providing better programmer efficiency, which reduces the overall carbon footprint. I agree that Julia is pretty good for data science stuff (that's what it was made for, after all), but energy and computational efficiency is very complex. None of this stuff is straightforward at all, and it's not worth simplifying it down to "Python burns the planet".
  11. Red Hat writes more C and Go than Python by far. Between the low level Linux ecosystem projects and big products like OpenShift, there's way more of that than Python.
  12. Fedora is a perfectly suitable starting point. Moreover, Fedora is hugely into Python, and there's a dedicated Fedora Workstation variant preloaded with tools for helping people explore the Python programming language. Even without the variant, the standard Fedora Workstation is a great place to get started with a basic Linux experience and then work with Python.
  13. OP is using Fedora Linux 34, which doesn't have WirePlumber as the media session manager yet.
