Screen sharing with Discord no longer works, but I think that's from an update to Flatpak because it was also happening at the end of 39's lifecycle.

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.

Doesn't work for me on GNOME Wayland on Arch either. I'm also using the flatpak.
I use fedora on my thinkbook with Gnome/PaperWM and my upgrade experience was ezpz.
Had a sound issue: output device options only listed "Dummy Output" and nothing was listed for input devices. I eventually got my headset to be recognized again, but sadly couldn't tell you what did it, since I tried so many things and I lack proper understanding of the Linux sound scene.
Just in case it's useful to someone, here's a collection of ideas I found while working through the issue:
- Make sure wireplumber service is enabled and running OK
- Plug in an HDMI device and reboot (some people said this permanently fixed a similar issue)
- Backup, then delete
$XDG_STATE_HOME/wireplumberand reboot - Check if you have installed the packages:
- kernel-modules
- alsa-sof-firmware
Note, however, that I really don't understand what some of these do. You should be very wary of taking suggestions from people who don't know what they're talking about... unless you're desperate enough and want your sound back, perhaps.
...Also, here's a gentle reminder to test your sound device with other equipment and try different ports/adapters, if available. Wasn't my case, but sometimes stuff simply breaks at inopportune times.
No issues jumping straight from 37 server edition to 40.
Running Silverblue here and only one minor issue due to the wifi mac address changes and locking myself out of my network.
I also realised, that the upgrade didn't like it when Ihade packages removed from the base which resulted in broken dependencies.
After resetting it upgrading went without any glitch.
Yes, Nvidia drivers broke, I had to remove and reinstall them, ( don't forget to reboot )
Edit: oh, and also my widgets broke, even ones that are made by KDE...
Also ClearClock is broken because it doesn't work on KDE 6
