Fedora Linux 34 is officially here

While pipewire still needs a lot of work and some people will see regressions in their workflow, this change is so much better than the pulseaudio disaster.<p>It already enables things like more reasonable Bluetooth access, BT codec&#x2F;profile switching, close to real-time audio, etc. With updated pipewire you can run jack applications like guitarix and ardour and they just work. With pipewire updated from copr repositories and iRig I can use guitarix OOTB and the delay is low enough to ignore.<p>I can also watch movies with audio going over Bluetooth - pulseaudio had 400+ms delay, pipewire is pretty much synced up. (That&#x27;s on standard codecs, not aptx) It&#x27;s better than what either windows or Mac can achieve here.

Release notes: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fedoraproject.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Releases&#x2F;34&#x2F;ChangeSet" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fedoraproject.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Releases&#x2F;34&#x2F;ChangeSet</a>

I&#x27;ve been an Ubuntu user for ages, any reasons to switch to Fedora?

I have been running the beta in my laptop perfectly and the multi-touch gestures added in Gnome 40 makes it the best laptop DE for me. When I tried to install on my desktop, Nvidia drivers made the experience a nightmare. Nvidia does make free distros a pain.

I just upgraded from Fedora 33 to Fedora 34 and experienced serious issues making my computer usable. There is a rendering issue making the screen flicker&#x2F;strange pixels patterns appearing for almost every app (including gnome terminal). Interestingly, the only app that seems unaffected is firefox.<p>The only non-standard thing about my setup is that I have a 1400p 144hz display. My graphics card is Amd 5600xt so I do not think this is the issue.<p>Has anyone else experienced this?<p>I am not a sophisticated linux user, but I have been using Fedora for the last 10 years without issue, and usually upgrade when I hear about a new version.

I’ve been running F34 for about a month now. The move to pipewire has been pretty much flawless. Multi-monitor Waybar is broken with F34 but that’s not the fault of Fedora.

Just in time for Red Hat Summit, which starts today.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.redhat.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;summit" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.redhat.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;summit</a>

Any opinion on the move to BTRFS as the default filesystem? Would it be a transparent change for the user? Obviously it will only apply to fresh installs.

Would be nice if Fedora improved its GUI package management. It&#x27;s slow and the interface is pretty bad. I tried every solution I could find over a period of 18 months, but in the end the solution that worked was installing Ubuntu. It was my personal laptop so I was able to give it such a long try; obviously this wouldn&#x27;t have gone on very long on a work machine.

just upgrade from Fedora 32 to Fedora 34.<p>the upgrade really smooth, less than 1 hour.

Still on Fedora 30... probably time to reformat and install fresh.<p>Really wish Fedora would cut an official WSL2 image.

I&#x27;ve been on beta the past month and the experience was great. No issues with pipewire. Gnome&#x27;s snappy, tho a hot bottom corner was necessary. The only issue for me was the agressiveness of oomd at the beginning of beta.

They managed to increase the distance the mouse cursor has to travel to open the app drawer. The worst case would be to move the cursor to the upper left and then to the bottom right.<p>Does Red Hat monitor the mouse travel distance to measure &quot;employee productivity,&quot; or how did they end up with this design?
