Fedora proposal to drop 32-bit support has been withdrawn
30 Jun 2025 at 1:27 pm UTC Likes: 1

Mark my words. This mess will rear its ugly head again, and more frequently every passing year.
I've book-marked your post and will be checking it every year from now on, in the meantime I will be advising people to use Ubuntu instead of Fedora because of that.

Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages - potentially bad news for Steam gamers
25 Jun 2025 at 9:12 am UTC

The Steam client is basically based on Chromium and it is a known fact that Chromium's security sandboxing is not compatible with flatpak's one making Chromium-based browsers as flatpaks -even Chrome- insecure. There's a reason why ALL of the Chromium-based browsers are unverified there. No wonder Steam doesn't want you to be using the unofficial, unverified version as well, so no, using flatpak is not the solution.

Yay quickly rush to be the first to test their snaps, their Rust-based anti-GNU coreutils and whatever else they have planned to become the true Windows for Linux.

Killing Floor 3 now set for release on July 24 after being delayed to improve it
9 May 2025 at 10:22 pm UTC

Seems like the original intended release date (despite them promising postponing it indefinitely to fix everything that isn't Killing Floor), I wouldn't have high hopes for it to be that much better from the demo, starting with the ridiculous "specialists" remaining intact.

Ubuntu 25.04 upgrades halted due to Kubuntu users getting a broken desktop

To say it politely, KDE is not ready for prime time. It is feature-bloated and full of half-baked features. Ubuntu is learning their lesson now. Fedora will learn their lesson later. Cosmic has done in mere months what KDE has tried and failed for 30 years to do.
I mean sometimes I feel like trolling a bit too, but you 've gone full ******* :grin:

Ubuntu 25.04 upgrades halted due to Kubuntu users getting a broken desktop

That is not the first time in recent times, 13 hours ago in I wrote

Kubuntu has been in constant decline since at least 23.04, (basically it's been like that since the main maintainer left and did KDE Neon with more people leaving constantly I assume) I wouldn't recommend it. Just look at all the upgrade problems emerging with 25.04 and all the mispackaging issues and misconfigurations since 24.04. Personally I couldn't enable video hardware acceleration with Chromium only in 25.04 beta but I could basically everywhere else, OpenMandriva, Fedora, Elementary and what not. If you want KDE from the so-called "mainstream" distros, Fedora KDE edition is most probably the better and more professional choice.

SteamOS-like Bazzite Linux has some nice growth thanks to great handheld PC support

There's no need to wait on Valve releasing SteamOS 3 for everyone thanks to Bazzite.
Between SteamOS and Bazzite I would choose SteamOS anytime, no thanks.

Killing Floor 3 is set for release on March 25 with "even more realistic carnage"

nah, they 've gone downhill after KF1, which was PC only if that tells something. This Killing "Doom" 3, has Doom2k16 monsters and its "death camera", boring, uninspired, asexual+disco heroes called "specialists" and not perks, featuring Shadow Storm from G.I. Joe, and a medi-guy out of the Boney M. band, and additional "gameplay mechanics" like dodging, parkour, ziplines, it features in-game battlepasses and credits, and in 2 years from now it will become the same clownfest with cat ears and sharks-eating-your-head/foam hats as well as balance-breaking "sci-fi", "free"-otherwise weapons as KF2 was.
