Fedora Linux: It's your Operating System.
I've installed fedora 40 on my jurassic Macbook 13 2011 and so far i'm in love with it. The only issue was the wifi. I've checked different posts and articles and in the end i've find this [https://darryldias.me/2020/linux-wifi-drivers-for-2012-macbook-pro-offline-method/] which worked... up to a point. When i turn off or restart the machine i have to use the comand "sudo modprobe -v b43" to enable the wifi each time. Any idea?

Hi! I have some newb-ish questions, and I was hoping some Fedora veterans could help me out. I have been using the KDE spin of Fedora since 36, and I love it. I distro-hopped for years, but I have not had any interest since landing on Fedora. I have been using the KDE spin because I love KDE. I love how lightweight yet feature-rich and customizable it is. It can really be anything I need it to be, and it's amazing. With that said, there are two recent happenings that have made me question whether I should switch to the original GNOME version: 1. I've been having some minor issues lately with F39, like audio not working after I reboot, so I had to eeventuakly remove it altogether and use pipewire, which has been working better. Nothing big, but minor issues like that. I've heard that the GNOME version performs better and is more stable/has less bugs, but idk if there's any truth to it? 2. I have an Nvidia GPU. Wayland support is pretty bad for me, and I've been relying on X11 all this time. Recently, it was confirmed that Fedora will be dropping X11 support altogether in F40. I'm wondering if anyone out there has used both KDE and Gnome with an Nvidia GPU that can tell me if there's any difference in Wayland performance? I kinda don't want to switch to GNOME, because I love KDE, but if it will make my experience better, then I think it's probably worth a shot.

Finally found a work around for getting the mullvad client working on immutables like Silverblue/MicoOs From this post: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/issues/1570 1. Install the RPM 2. Run `sudo systemctl enable --now mullvad-daemon` 3. Run `sudo rpm-ostree install libappindicator-gtk3` as it is not installed by default on Kinoite. 4. Reboot. Live applying will not work. My guess is that now that the Mullvad binaries and services are not symlinked, they work. Silverblue users only need these three steps: Install the RPM Reboot Run sudo systemctl enable --now mullvad-daemon in Terminal

Introduction to some interesting Flatpak applications
So, some background: my organization is moving from RHEL7 using the UI/Coolkey Smartcard setup for autolock on removal and authenticating to the AD. We are in the process of upgrading to RHEL8 in our Secure Area (which means local only connections with zero internet access). This process has been insanely complicated versus RHEL7 and it seems no matter how similar the guides, I just can't figure it out. Our support plan with RedHat is the one answer/email per 24 hours one (I have no control over this) and has been next to worthless. I am going to detail out what all i've done and hopefully someone here can see where I am missing my last keystone. * **On Windows Server 2019:** 1. Open mmc.exe 2. File \> Add/Remove Snap-in... 2a.

Verify the above sssd and krb5 files are largely unmodified, which each time I test appears to be the case. 3. Enable authselect to handle the smartcards: ``` authselect select sssd with-smartcard with-smartcard-required with-smartcard-lock-on-removal --force ``` 1. I am able to use pcsc\_scan, pkcs11\_listcerts, and pkcs11\_inspects to see that my Dell KB813t is recognized along with my smartcard, the certs on the card, and I can login with my pin on my RHEL7 and Windows 10 boxes. However, when I go to the RHEL8 Login Screen it just says: Please (Re)Insert (Different) Smartcard I am never able to get it to work unless I SSH in and remove the authselect stuff, login with my username and password, or while SSH'd in I check for /var/log/secure and /var/log/messages which show the same message as well as "unable to authenticate", but it never asks for my pin like the RHEL7 or Win10 boxes and I've tried following guides on RedHat, VMware, scribd, buildingtents, Citrix, beyondtrust, Fedora, Reddit, and I even to lookup how other you'd do it for SUSE or Ubuntu, but no matter what guide I follow I end up at the same dead end. I see so many dead threads or reddit posts asking the same question "how do I setup smart card on RHEL8?" which either ends in "Okay I figured it out!" or they just go dead. Hopefully someone here can help piece the missing puzzle pieces together for me.

Coming from other distros like Debian or Ubuntu, I'm used to package versions being set at the moment a distro version is released, and then those packages pretty much just get bugfixes until the next version of the distro in 6 months/2 years/etc. I started using Fedora recently, but it looks like for a lot of packages, all currently supported Fedora versions get the updates, not just the testing branch (for instance, when Plasma 5.27 came out, every active Fedora version was updated). Does Fedora just use distro version numbers for specific core package versions, or is there something I'm missing here?

Hi all. I didn't want a password on my install of silverblue so I used sudo passwd -d and now every time I login I have to dismiss this about a dozen times. Any ideas to resolve this? Thanks and take care!
I want to try Silverblue, but I need to run [a script](https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio) to get audio on my old Chromebook. How can I turn the script into a package so I can use it with Silverblue?

It shouldn't come as much surprise for those familiar with Fedora given its tendency to always ship with the very latest open-source compiler toolchain components, but this autumn's release of Fedora 39 will once again have all the leading-edge GNU compiler pieces.
