    I’m excited to announce my very first Fedora Linux release as the new Fedora Project Leader. Fedora Linux 43 is here! 43 releases! Wow that’s a lot. I was thinking about proposing special tetracontakaitrigon stickers to celebrate this release, but I’m not sure anyone would notice they weren’t circles.

    Thank you and congrats to everyone who has contributed to Fedora to this release, and in all the releases leading up to this one. I’m grateful to be back with a chance to take stewardship of the collaboration as the Fedora Project leader. I’ve been getting my feet under me as much as I can in these first few months. I’m looking forward to writing up some longer missives about where I want to steer this ship, but for right now I just want to highlight some of the changes you should expect to encounter in the latest release of Fedora Linux. Read the highlights below to find out more. Or if you are ready just jump right in!

    “Secure Your World, Protect Your Life.”
    “Empowering Each Other to Stay Secure.”

  • I'm running fedora 43 as I type this. only issue I've discovered so far, firejail firefox crashes as it opens! ChatGPT has some suggestions. Or I use this flatpak browser... :)

    Any other small issues ? Did you update or a clean install ?

    it was an update from 42 to 43 went smoothly but bug related to firejail (firejail firefox) which today chatgpt5 has confirmed has been noted by real world. I post a little more info at MT earlier when I had it up. I can post the the more technical info from fedora:

    Parent is shutting down, bye...

    I find chatGPT is pretty good with linux output, it explains what is wrong with possible fix, but since this bug seems to be widespread on other 43 systems, I'm going to wait it out and see if fedora techies fix it.

    wherever you go there you are
