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?

Freecad appimage stopoed working

Luckily the FLATPAK version still runs fine

Edit: I wrote snap but I intended FLATPAK Edit 2: weekly builds of freecad from GitHub are working fine

There is an officially supported Flatpak

I would 100% use that. Snap on Fedora is likely not sandboxed at all, as it relies on Apparmor, and also not really that well maintained as nobody cares.

Yes, thanks. I wrote snap but I actually intended flatpak, D'OH!
