Fedora 32 Beta To Be Released Next Week

[Britoid]

its been getting borring since the early Fedora20's but Fedora has been stable to a degree, i stopped using linux from F27 cause i got borred with it. i will probably look at coming baack around 34 or 35 , around when DNF5 will be out in the open. DNF4 was all wrong to begin with. Gnome3 is just getting better thanks to the help of some from Ubuntu people.

Eh, it's pretty unfair and errornous to claim that GNOME is only getting better because of help from some "Ubuntu people".

i dont think it is unfair to say that, fact is Gnome Devs needed Help to improve the experience without outside help Gnome3 was Dead.

1) It wasn't dead, far from it.
2) If you mean by experience = performance, sure, Ubuntu helped create a increased pressure on performance improvements, if you mean any sort of UX changes, then that's mainly been down to Red Hat, Purism and Endless employees (whom also make up the design team).

I would have skipped a version when versioning this release, I'm sure there's at least some people out there just hearing about Fedora and seeing "Fedora 32" and thinking it's 32-bit. I know, I'm sure you think that's too stupid to be possible. But people are people.

What do you mean its not 32 bit??? lol. They will figure it out on Fedora 33

1 ) it was Dead IMO an it needed CPR
2 ) the Design Team needed help, not all Redhat guys are capable of making something look good IMO .
for instance, the Fedora Grub Menu was supposed to get an overhaull, hasnt happened afaik. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ImprovedGrubMenu

Candy One small bump for version, one giant leap for Desktop Linux.

I installed fedora31 month ago and H264 based HTML5 video did not work.

then i installed Debian 11 bullsaye and h264 based HTML5 video work. (nonfree debian)
amd Debian11 bullyeye have much lower versions numbers of everything. means fedora 31 was bleeding edge....

i think biggest news in Fedora32 that with OpenH264 codex and Cisco paying the h264 license for WebRTC
they in my knowelege managed to route the h264 HTML5 video playback though the WebRTC/OpenH264 engine.

means Fedora32 will be the first Linux ever who can play h264/HTML5 videos legally.

Bit of a shame that Intel and Lennart Poettering combined to kill 64bit, and now everyone is having to go back to 32bit. This is why we can't have nice things.

That's small time for a project that had the guts to name a release "Beefy Miracle."

I don't get what point you're trying to make.

If this is supposed to be a joke it isn't very funny.

That's kinda funny.
