Fedora 42 was released Tuesday -- on time! <https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-linux-42/> A day later, Ubuntu 25.04 was released. I've updated Fedora on a few of my machines. It seems painless. I have not updated my main desktop so I haven't much to report. The new desktop background annoys Michael Larabel of phoronix.com. I haven't yet formed an opinion. But that's a detail easy to change. To be honest, I enjoy that my background gets changed every six months. Here's Michael's review: <https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-42-Released> ============== I haven't tried the new ubuntu. Ubuntu's not my normal choice. I tried a new computer that I bought from AliExpress. A GMKtec G9. <https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008456753400.html> It came with a 64GB eMMC and with Ubuntu preloaded. I did an update to that system today but I wasn't offered 25.04. If I remember correctly, Ubuntu only offers upgrades after a few weeks. BTW, a very interesting computer, but Jeff Geerling found cooling problems with it: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_Ft8OAPQ3g> Yuck. --- GTALUG Operations Mailing List operations@gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/operations
