      You do know that Ubuntu only pushes/recommends LTS upgrades after the first point release. With Jammy I find Ubuntu GNOME way more polished than Fedora 36, where you get GTK4 with all its teething pains. Not to mention the additional performance improvements which Ubuntu contributes year in year out. I am yet to discover the instabilities and the shitfest people talk about here.

        If only stability was judged based off one user's experience 🤦‍♂️️

          That´s the number one rule in internet discussions about Linux. This use case works for me/ Doesn´t for me = distro xyz is amazing / is terrible

              Maybe it is delayed because there are no computers left that can run Fedora's increasingly stringent (and arbitrary) requirements. Hard to test on and get developers for a platform that no-one can run

                In this case, many (not all(*)) of the final blockers are, indeed, GNOME related (which some early adopters finally tested and found issues). Whenever there is a bigger bump in GNOME (as with F36) there are inevitably a few issues that are identified with the bump.

                (*) Another is related to the openssl bump with (usually) enterprise wifi vendors that have not properly implemented RFCs, and there is yet another round of selinux updates to reflect some apps propensity to access files/directories all over the place.

                  Hmm. The BIOS change proposal got rejected since you seem to be referring to that. Change proposals do come with detailed rationale for it. You may not agree with it but it isn't arbitrary.

                    An upgrade to selinux-policy and selinux-policy-targeted just arrived. I guess related to the issues mentioned.
