Quoting: MasterSleortI say let free market forces dictate whether it is a feature that will stay or not. If people are getting burnt or don't feel the value is there, publishers will be hesitant to use the feature. After all it's also a way to get advanced negative reviews.

This is true - "advanced access" could result in negative reviews that destroy "release day" sales. Hopefully that's enough incentive for greedy publishers to be cautious about milking this too heavily.

I hope being part of Atari means that Night Dive will return to making native Linux builds; they used to do it regularly, but not so much on newer releases:

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualThis is really a program that should be kept up-to-date throughout the Fedora release rather than pinned to a certain version.

Dunno makes the decision on that (maybe it just depends on the package maintainer?), but it's probably seen as much less of a priority than things like the kernel, browser, etc. Obviously, amount of (volunteer?) manpower has to be a factor.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualAudacity 4.0 will be Qt-based

As I recall, VLC made the same wxWidgets -> Qt transition, albeit quite a while ago now. Audacity might be one of the last high-profile projects using that GUI toolkit? I see it's still under active development, though.

Higher resolution on the smaller screen? Are they expecting to run it in HiDPI mode? I guess the desktop environments support that fairly well these days...

Quoting: Linux_RocksI remember when Fedora 3 came out.

You mean Fedora *Core* 3. ;-) I remember when the rumors were swirling about "Red Hat 9" being the last version.

Quoting: WoodlandorWayland graphics flickering under Nvidia drivers seems to be fixed with the final release.

As already noted, that requires updated Nvidia drivers with explicit sync support; it also requires GNOME 46.1 (just released; is it already packaged for Fedora 40?). Your profile says you use KDE; I don't think explicit sync support is done for that yet: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/4693

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualI managed to compile Gamescope on Fedora

I haven't messed with it myself, but gamescope is in the default repositories, so very easy to install. Same for mangohud, goverlay, lutris, wine, and "almost" anything that is open source.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualinstalling patent-encumbered encoders/decoders, like the ones for H.264/H.265. You need to get those from RPM Fusion

I prefer the "fedora-multimedia" negativo17 repository myself.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualAudacity is really out of date!

Current version in the repo is 3.3.3; that is indeed out of date, but it's less than a year old, going by the official Audacity website. Oh, but 3.4.2 is there for Fedora 40 (I think 3.5 just released a few days ago?):

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualWhen I tried to watch videos with mpv, they would crash suddenly a few minutes in.

I assume that's from rpmfusion; you could try the negativo17 version.

Quoting: fabertaweI may finally play it! I Kickstarted this... can't remember that far back though

My oldest backed but unfinished Kickstarter project (that is still likely to release) is Asylum - campaign ended on February 28, 2013, and apparently is in private beta test now:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/230210/ASYLUM/

I just checked 7 Days to Die, and the campaign on that one ended on August 15, 2013 - but at least they have had a playable game for a very long time.

Quoting: PyreticOut of curiosity, Liam, why are you still using the old Proton logo that you made instead of the official one?

Because his is nicer? ;-)

Slipgate Ironworks made the first game, and it wasn't as well received as Ion Fury. Maybe they will fare better this time.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyOK, he sent the patches, but are the Nouveau people allowed to use them?

Let's not forget that Nvidia has contributed to Nouveau before:
