From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am running Fedora 39 right now and the last time I did a distro upgrade my graphics drivers were a huge PITA. Did your upgrade to 40 went smooth?

qt was stuck with 5.15 because the telegram app depended on it (sigh). Had to do a dnf upgrade --best --allowerasing for the update to qt6 (and the removal of telegram lol).

But now everything works fine.

There is a flatpak available for Telegram if you need it 😃

Yeah i know, i just prefer to use the distros native package manager. That said, i use the jellyfin client from flathub and that one now warns me as well that it depends on qt5.15 (works fine though, since flatpak can have multiple versions of dependencies).
