00:00 Intro 00:34 Sponsor - Squarespace 01:32 Under the hood 03:21 GNOME 45 changes 05:31 App Changes 08:12 Fedora Slimbook 09:59 The Specs 14:56 Final Thoughts 15:51 Support the channel
The installer is still Anaconda, not the new one. You're getting the kernel 6.5. Fedora 39 also drops the modular repos. You're still not getting DNF 5, the new version of the package manager. Other changes include dropping the custom theming for Qt apps, changing the default color of the terminal, and there's a new spin of Fedora Silverblue, the immutable distro, but this time with Budgie as its desktop, it's called Fedora Onyx.
Of course, the biggest changes to your experience on Fedora will be with GNOME 45. So, the first change will be to Activities, with the new workspaces indicator, when you click it, it opens the activities view, but visually, it now shows your current virtual desktop as an elongated pill, and the other virtual desktops as small circles. The app menu also disappeared from the top bar in the process.
In the quick settings, you now get the ability to control keyboard backlight. You can also open the quick settings menu by pressing Super + S, and you can now click a background app to open its window, and you'll get a small indicator when closing one of these background apps.
Finally, in the top bar, you'll get a new webcam activity indicator.
Apart from that, there's a new "split headerbar look" that reached a few apps. In terms of apps, Nautilus gained a way faster search: tracker. Once a search has completed, you also get a "Search everywhere" button that lets you search the whole filesystem.
GNOME 45 also brings a new image viewer, called Loupe, Cheese, the camera app, is replaced with Snapshot, GNOME console got a new preference item to customize fonts, GNOME maps gained a new experimental vector based tileset.
As per GNOME Software, you can now clear all the user data associated with a flatpak app when you uninstall it, and you'll see messages in the search results and app details pages to let you know if a flatpak is end of life and hasn't received updates in a long time.
And now, let's talk hardware: the Fedora Slimbook. This is a partnership between Fedora, and, you guessed it, Slimbook, the linux hardware manufacturer based in Spain.
It's a 16 inch laptop, that only weighs 1.5 kilos, or 3.3 pounds. It has a 2K 16:10 display, at 2560 by 1600 at 90hz. It supports 100% of sRGB, and has a brightness of 400 nits and an anti glare coating.
The laptop has some Fedora branding, with a super key using the Fedora logo, and a Fedora logo is also present on the top left corner of the laptop. The chassis is a magnesium and aluminium alloy.
In terms of specs, you get an intel i7 12700H, it's paired with an Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti, with 4 gigs of VRAM. On top of that, you get to pick between 16, 32 or 64 gigs of RAM, running at 3200 Mhz, it's not soldered. As per storage, you get 500 gigs of SSD, with the ability to fill 2 M.2 slots with up to 4 TB in total.
In terms of I/O, the laptop comes with 2 USB A ports, 3.2 Gen 1, with 1 USB C 3.2 Gen 2 that supports display port 1.4, and one Thunderbolt 4 port that supports charging and displayport, but it's hardwired to the integrated intel GPU. There's also an HDMI port, wired to the Nvidia GPU, a headphone jack, and an SD card slot, plus a barrel charger port.
You'll get Wifi 6 and bluetooth 5.2, and an 82 WH battery, that, in my experience, gives you about 6h to 7h or regular use.
Finally, it has 2 speakers, that are solid enough and have decent sound and bass, a 1080p webcam that isn't terrible but also not that great, and a mic that's really mediocre.
It also has a wonderful feeling keyboard, and a giant touchpad, which feels absolutely fantastic to use especially for all the gestures GNOME has to navigate the desktop and the apps.

#Palestine / IDF have lied, again, about shootings near the “aid site” in Rafah
Testimonies, video footage, and inconsistencies in official statements indicate that Israeli soldiers, rather than #Palestinian militants, were responsible for the lethal shootings near the so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” (#GHF) death trap which is the “aid distribution center” in #Rafah.
These shootings, which resulted in dozens of deaths, occurred approximately a kilometer from the aid center, where Israeli drones and armored vehicles were present. Eyewitness accounts describe gunfire from multiple directions, including tanks and drones, targeting civilians seeking aid. Medical teams reported treating numerous gunshot victims.
The #IDF initially denied involvement but later admitted to firing "warning shots." They also chose, uncharacteristically, not to respond to this special report in #Haaretz.

I have a Windows 11 laptop and recently gotten excited to try Linux. I read good things about Mint being pretty good to go out of the box, and while I can be a fast learner I'm also tired and don't have a tremendous amount of bandwidth.
So I followed all the installation instructions, verified, flashed a USB, booted into it and started to install a dual boot of it. Made it through installation until it told me my computer had BitLocker on, and I'd need to go turn it off and try again. Fair enough.
Went back into my Windows OS (after booting it went to "diagnosing your PC"). I don't seem to have bitlocker installed - looks like a Pro version thing which I don't have. It did show that encryption was enabled, so I turned it off.
Restarted to boot to USB. Nope, "mmx64.efi - Not Found" error.
OK, googled it, renamed it, let's go.
error: shim_lock protocol not found error: you need to load kernel first
OK... I googled it just enough to see this is going to be a pain.
I tried remaking my USB just in case, didn't help. It's extra frustrating because my first attempt to boot into Linux went so well! How did it go from booting into it flawlessly to giving me a series of errors?
Did I anger the Microsoft gods and now they're blocking my path? Is this a bad omen that Linux is going to be a problem on my laptop in general?
I had a very similar issue when starting my Linux journey, also on a laptop running windows 11. I could not actually fix the issue until I tried installing a different distro entirely.
Check it Ventoy, it's become a handy tool for me. Lets you have several bootable ISOs or images on a single USB.
I've tried quite a few but right now the longest surviving one is Manjaro. This system still dual boots (technically a actually triple boot lol), so you can fix the issue.
I also have Fedora on another pc and I don't care for it. I also have dabbled very lightly with Debian (hosting some services), Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Endeavour, Cachy, Mint, KDE Neon, and PopOS.
I have liked the Arch based distros the most so far, and highly prefer KDE Plasma as a desktop environment.
Just to add a note for OP: If your not into tinkering and taking care a of your OS don't even think to try any Arch based distro. There's a minimum time you have to spend to keep your system healthy.
Just recentlty I had a boot issue after an update (black screen on boot without login or tty) and after a lot of debugging and websearch couldn't fix my issue. At first I though of a fuckedup bootloader or to long wait time between updates but It was a recent issue with MESA and nvidia driver.
Had I looked up the EndeavourOS forum rather then my own search results that would have avoided a fuckedup fresh install wich didn't solved the issue either.
So yeah, there was a solution out there (downgrade MESA, install new nvidia driver rather than nouveau) but I wasn't looking in the right place 🫤 So here I'm with a fresh install...
shim_lock protocol not found appears to be a result of secure boot failing. One simple solution would be to go to the BIOS and disable SecureBoot. You can also try to configure it to recognize your efi but I'd turn it off first and see if that helps.
Not the one you're asking but I've been dual-booting Windows and Linux on my gaming desktop for many years, every time a build a new PC, disabling "secure boot" AND "fast boot" in the BIOS is the very first thing I do and I never had problems (I play on Linux but I keep Windows for testing in case I want to report a bug).
Fast boot is even more troublesome, since it's a Windows specific feature that allows it to not truly shutdown so it can startup faster later, but that can cause locks for other OS that won't work correctly.
In theory, Linux should be able to support secure boot (not fast boot), but since that one too was made for Windows, there are cases in which it could cause problems, I will always disable it just to be on the safe side.
Microsoft is deliberately making it crazy hard to use linux. We're so used to dealing with hostile relationships recently that we dont even recognize this broken situation.
Anyway, can you try installing it on separate ssd? Its rather hard to run it in dual boot because windows will frequently fuck up your bootloader and so on.
I had a bad feeling that dual booting wouldn't be the seamless thing I hoped for. I have an old Mac laptop I might try installing on to see how I like it and decide if I'm just gonna wipe Windows entirely.
It's incredible how shit Windows is and everyone just accepts it. It shows me ads on my lock screen FFS (and I know how to disable that cuz I've done it three times now and they keep coming back like a horror movie monster you didn't behead).
Unfortunately, the windows bootloader issues are also ingrained in UEFI for many motherboards. Every few days I start my PC up and it has decided my grub entry is garbage and does me the favor of removing it and defaulting back to the windows bootloader.
I've worked around this by adding a bootcfg entry to the windows bootloader that points at grub. Now any time this happens, I pick the grub entry from the windows bootloader, my PC reboots, and now it'll keep defaulting to grub again until the next time it decides to wipe it.
It takes some doing, but you can live boot windows from a USB drive for those rare instances you need it. You can also just install it to a VM inside Linux (also not easy). But honestly these days the times where you'll NEED Windows are few and far between (and getting fewer and farther).
Personally I just installed Mint instead of Windows. If you back up your important files to an external drive, then what's the harm? Even if you need to go back to Windows, that's just another USB flash drive setup.
That's great if you're in the mindset of "just wipe and reload it's not a problem" But most people who aren't chronic computer users aren't like that. Spending 2+ hours resetting up their computer to be just like it was isn't fun to most people.
Whaaaaaaaat!?! Nonsense! Sacrilege! I love spending 8 hours at a time reconfiguring neovim from scratch to get full LSP support and 20 millisecond start-up times! Who wouldn't love doing that!?!!!??!!?! (/hj)

The U.S. efforts to hobble China's tech advancement through export controls have not been effective. Chinese tech companies, such as Huawei, Baidu, and SMIC, are developing their own tech ecosystems. China dominates in consumer drones, autonomous vehicles, and solar panels and batteries.
SMIC, which makes Huawei's processors, is now the third-largest chipmaker in the world and has managed to innovate despite having older-generation tech.

I recently switched to an AMD GPU and VA-API is the only option for hardware acceleration on linux that is viable. But Handbrake does not support it and it doesn't seem like it will in the foreseeable future, so I am looking for an alternative. Ideally it is just an ffmpeg GUI, but I did not find any that are: - actually compatible with linux - updated in the last 5 years - have an option vor h264_vaapi or hevc_vaapi video codecs
Another workflow I thought about that is not working is transcoding the video, but copy all audio and subtitles and let handbrake handle that, however Handbrake has no option to just copy the video stream...
So far I have tried: - ffmpeg_batch: wouldn't use my local version of ffmpeg, because of some path error, only works through wine - qwinff: got it building, but no VA-API codec, and no mkv output support (over 10 years old) - Shutter Encoder: only works through wine, font problems, no va-api support - Avidemux: takes forever to open a video clip, more of a video editor, no va-api support - Hybrid: know it from my windows days, clunky UI, no va-api support, but best candidate for me right now as I could use it to just copy video and handle audio and subtitles in here - StaxRip: the .7z file could not be extracted, I just got an error
Are you aware that HandBrake supports AMD VCN hardware video encoding, but doesn't show the option in the GUI unless support is detected on your system? Perhaps you could get it working by installing the AMD's proprietary driver.
You haven't said what source material you're encoding, so we don't know if there's a feature of Handbrake that would be hard to replace using another tool.
VA-API is the only option for hardware acceleration on linux that is viable.
I guess that depends on what you mean by viable. Are you aware of Vulkan Video?
FFMPEG apparently merged support for it last year. If you can't get HandBrake to do what you want, you might consider investing some time in learning ffmpeg commands.
the amdgpu-pro drivers are only available on LTS releases and on a few selected distros
Are you sure? I would expect AMD to have their own download & install instructions that could be used on any distro. That would be more work for you than just installing a package directly from your distro, of course.
Curiously, I just found a comment from last year claiming that amf-amdgpu-pro now works with Mesa's RADV. So maybe this approach could work without AMD's proprietary driver?
Mostly BluRay rips, so movies and TV-Shows
By rips, do you mean your source media is already in a container, like a .mkv or .mp4 file? Or are you encoding directly from optical discs? If it's the latter, then using a tool other than HandBrake for the encode might also require finding a disc ripping tool. (Not all encoding tools can decrypt and demux discs.)
I actually was not. Is it any good? But Handbrake does not support that either, does it?
I haven't used Vulkan Video. It's just an API, so I would expect the video quality to depend on your hardware's encoder, just as it would with VAAPI or any other API.
I don't think Handbrake supports it yet, so until they do, I think you would have to use some other encoding tool.
for anything involving multiple audio and subtitle streams and stream selection in general it is not an option for me…
You haven't said why, but if it's just that managing lots of streams using command line tools is more hassle than you want to deal with, you might take a look at MKVToolNix. It's pretty good at muxing, even if the source media is not a .mkv file.
Description of the feature or enhancement you'd like to see in HandBrake: AMD opensource driver (AMDGPU+MESA) offers videoenconding for h.264/h.265 over VAAPI. It would be great to have support for...
Didn't hear about this game until today, but it looks really cool! Full game's not out yet but there's a demo up which I plan to try out with some friends when they're available.

Considering the rest of the post I would guess that HR sees it as a signal that the place allows their employees to leave their desk and not pretend to work for 15 minutes (morally repugnant to an American Protestant)
Agree, but I’ll say of those gimmicks on site subsidized food places and gyms are genuinely nice. Like I don’t want to play ping pong at work, but if you’re saving me a few gym and food trips a week I’m down.
And some of us even didn’t like it, because those places could often blur the lines between a place of business and a place for socializing
To be clear, this was always the goal. If an employer could have you work 80 hours a week and sleep under your desk, they would. The goal is to give employees things to do around the office, so they don’t feel the need to actually leave work. Because if you’re playing ping pong in the break room, you’re immediately available for your manager to go “hey, we have a project for you.” Even if you’re not clocked in while playing ping pong, you’re essentially on call.
Those were gimmicks from that boom time, when wages were generally high and sooner folks switched jobs within weeks. Perks mattered in that period. Then wages dropped but the mindset that these perks mattered remained.
