Fedora 31 Released For This Innovative Linux Distribution Supported By Red Hat

[MadeUpName]

Congrats to the Fedora team.

For any one upgrading make sure you don't need to be able to remotely log in as root with a password. When it reboots you won't have access if that is the case. If you need remote root login make sure you have an ssh key in place before the upgrade.

It's insecure because it's sending your password to the remote end.

Public key systems do not suffer from this because they do not send any private data to the server side.

It is sending password to the other end, but it's still encrypted. You haven't really said anything about how people use this to gain access.

it's encrypted but if other end is attacker you are screwed

Gnome developers are always looking for ways to fuck their users over.

Most graphical applications in Fedora 31 do not support bitmap fonts like Terminus.

More details here:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/issues/386

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1753295

A quick workaround: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/co.../fedora-fixes/

Fuck you, Redhat and whoever is developing pango.

Fuck you!

Looks like Linux nowadays requires an expensive hi-dpi monitor just because Gnome developers have an itch for removing major features without offering any working alternative. WTF is wrong with you?? And do you really expect Linux to become an alternative to other mainstream desktop OSes while you continuously degrade and maim user experience? OMFG. If this is not extreme hubris, I don't know what that is.

  If non-bitmap fonts are destroying my sight, then I’d fork some cash and get myself a high-dpi screen not whine here about people not doing work for me. I do value my eye sight after all.

I wish Fedora would target more generic desktop users

What exactly are you missing for generic desktop usage? It even gets the same amount of release upgrades as Windows nowadays..

Then why would you choose Gnome? Spins work fine.

Try removing pango (dnf remove pango) from your system and tell me how it works.

Next time before writing an inane comment, you could maybe use your brain a little.

I can't reach you via michael at phoronix.com email, and your website keeps giving me this error, "Your E-Mail Was Rejected For Anti-Spam Measures" no matter which email I specify. For fun I even specified your own email address. You might wanna check it as some people might want to write to you in a good faith.
