Fedora 29 Officially Released With Arguably The Best Fedora Workstation Release Yet

[Britoid]

Only upgrade drama was VLC - had to remove it and one library it installed because I don't think those packages exist in v29 repos yet. Performance seems better? Text definitely appears to look better.

This is why Flatpak exists.

I upgraded from v28 last night. Only upgrade drama was VLC - had to remove it and one library it installed because I don't think those packages exist in v29 repos yet. .

Had to do the same here.

I did find one irksome known bug in F29 though. You cannot adjust the keyboard backlighting in F29 because of this upower bug. F29 ships with the affected upower version, 0.99.8, while F28 was still on non-buggy upower 0.99.7. If you have a laptop with keyboard backlight, you may want to stay on F28 until this is resolved.
