For Atomic users, you can rebase to F40 and it'll run the Beta/Prelease.

I love how easy this has become. I can't imagine ever going back to a traditional distro model.

Same, I almost cringe when I see someone using one. I just see an unorganised mess of packages :P

Been thinking of giving the ol Dora a crack one of these days. Maybe this is the day

When upgrading to the beta, does it become the stable release once that's out via regular dnf package upgrades? Or are you then on some kind of beta channel that you have to switch back from?

[-] shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml 7 points 7 months ago

You'll want to use the terminal and run "sudo dnf upgrade". If there's any issues after that, just run "sudo dnf distro-sync" to ensure everything's using the final release repo's. The sync command is strongly recommended but not always necessary.

Just installed it and nothing broke down. Gotta find something else to get my tinkering fix!

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.
