Phoronix: I Am Super Excited About Fedora 24

Fedora 24 is due to be released in a few minutes and I am super excited to see this (belated) release happen! This is yet another exciting release since the changes introduced a few releases ago with Fedora.Next. I do intend to certainly upgrade to this latest release...

[justmy2cents]

The only thing disappointing is that Fedora 24 is yet another multi-week-delayed release and they still haven't restored their practice of (fun / unique) codenames for each release

good riddance they delay it if they see the need. it is much easier to wait 2-3 more weeks with working system than waiting 2-3 weeks for patch to arrive if you were unlucky and hit the bug. pure timed releases which put date over quality are never good decision when you talk about composite product like distro. you say disappointing... i say awesome

and who even used codenames? i'm using it from 1 and I never even bothered to look up the name

The codenames are basically a joke and just for fun seeing what Beefy Miracle or other names they come up with as a result of community naming...

I have a Maxwell, so I'm not happy about the decision to not include Linux 4.6 and tested out of the box support for these cards.

To try Wayland one have to wait till 364 makes it to RPM Fusion or install manually right?

I know the payne. It's such a mess with Maxwell. I'm new to this Linux world and never would have thought it could be this annoying. Afterall i sold the 980 Ti.

Also i'm very excited about Fedora 24. Used Korora 23 (based on Fedora 23) some time. Can't wait for Korora 24.

i have gcn1.0, so i'm using 4.7 prerelease from rawhide. no issues

I'm excited to try Fedora 24, but I can't make it my full-time distro until Nvidia has proper support for Wayland/Weston. Hopefully soon.

I may be mistaken, but I don't think the stock un-patched version of Wayland currently works with any version of the nvidia driver.

Yes, my understanding is that Nvidia released some Weston patches that the Wayland/Weston developers will not accept. There's disagreement between Nvidia and Wayland developers (including some Intel people) about how to expose certain hardware features without requiring a bunch of vendor-specific extensions.
