Fedora 34 beta ate my data twice in the past few weeks... I'm using btrfs with similar kernels in lots of other system and I never had any issue, so I'm wondering if it could be linked to the recent gjs regression (or maybe the SSD is starting to fail somehow). Last time I started a system upgrade with PackageKit (Gnome Software) it didn't manage to remount the system after the reboot and then it refused to mount even in ro,recovery mode. I will wait for beta 1.4 and try to reinstall, maybe avoiding using PackageKit altogether this time.
By the way snapper not supporting PackageKit is really annoying, please fix this ASAP: https://github.com/rpm-software-mana...dnf/issues/313

Any Fedora or Red Hat employee here, please, ask someone to fix the Earth globe on that page, the South America map is warped.

I really hope pipewire proves to be reliant enough to make it into the final release. Finally having pro-audio use cases covered out of the box is a huge milestone. Looking forward to update my system in a couple of days!

Even more, I find it funny they try to stress a global effort but put USA basically in the center of the projection. I know Red Hat (and IBM) is an American company, but the message ends up kindda contradictory.

BTW is that a projection? Ecuador is so warped (inversely curved) it seems that if that's actually a projection it must be a really strange one.

I mean, when showing a globe, someone will be in the back

IBM has offices worldwide.

Fedora is just awesome, I just wish DNF were faster...

You see Ecuador that way because of gravitational lensing. That's not a globe...it's IBM's Quantum Computer causing a black hole. Which leads to the Fedora Paradox. Inside the Fedora is a country called Ecuador. It's either projected correctly or not. Only until you observe it will you know.
