Now that I'm back in GNOME (via Fedora Silverblue), I am also back in the Tuba Fediverse client. I still had Tokodon installed from my time with Kinoite, but it stopped working for some reason.

How to rebase to Fedora Linux 42 on Silverblue (or Kinoite) https://fedoramagazine.org/how-to-rebase-to-fedora-linux-42-on-silverblue/
Courtesy of @siosm here is a whole lot of info on the Atomic Desktops in Fedora 42 https://tim.siosm.fr/blog/2025/04/15/fedora-atomic-desktops-42/
In the Flatpak of the new Foliate 3.3.0, the giant cursor issue in Fedora Kinoite has been solved!!

After quite a few years using a lot of GNOME and a little Xfce, I am really enjoying KDE Plasma in Fedora Kinoite.
Plasma looks and works the same in the Debian (Bookworm and Testing) and Fedora KDE (41) live environments.
It's so far, so good with new Fedora Kinoite deployments.
I had one display lockup (likely during an automatic suspend) with 3/5. Now I'm on 3/6, and nothing crashy/freezy has happened yet.
The 3/5 update to Fedora Kinoite is working great. I can unpin 2/24 and move along now.
My last good update for Fedora Kinoite was on 2/24. The 2/26 update broke the ability of Flatpak browsers to upload, freezing the screen in the process. There were other random freezes as well.
Due to whatever problem Fedora Infrastructure is having with Cloudfront, I haven't been able to update since then.
I pinned the 2/24 deployment, but it's getting on at this point.

Next up: Fedora 41 KDE spin
Ideally my Kinoite issues will be resolved by the end of the upcoming week.
I'm weighing the benefits vs. headaches in Atomic Fedora (Silverblue/Kinoite 41) and traditional distros (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, etc).
I've said before that I feel like I run into one serious bug for every two Fedora releases, and right now I'm dealing with two:
* Kernel 6.13 doesn't play well with Flatpaks
* I can't do an rpm-ostree upgrade without some hackery

Since I'm all in on KDE Plasma in Fedora Kinoite, I'm dropping Tuba and picking up Tokodon as my desktop Fediverse client
#Fediverse #Fedora #Kinoite #AtomicFedora #Tuba #Tokodon #GoToSocial
Am I the only Fedora Kinoite or Silverblue user with a bad mirror that keeps me from updating the main system?

Fedora Kinoite video player tip:
There is no Flatpak in Flathub for the Dragon Video Player, but there is one in the Fedora Flatpak repo.
It does not have all the codecs you would expect from a Flathub Flatpak.
I'm using the Haruna Media Player from Flathub. It has the codecs and can play all the videos I've thrown at it.
While I'm still working on making GTK3 apps follow the dark theme, overall I am very happy with the look, feel and performance of Fedora Kinoite.
My power management issues have been solved, and I'm enjoying exploring this new environment.
I spent too much time today trying to figure out how to make the clipboard work in the Neovim and Neovide Flatpaks in Fedora Kinoite.
It only works after I run :checkhealth
Nothing I put in my init.vim made any difference.
None of the tutorials really got into possible fixes in this situation (Atomic Fedora and Flatpak)
Most of my .vimrc didn't transfer over. All of my macros and abbreviations are broken.
Number of power management issues I've had with KDE in Fedora Kinoite:
0
I am now in Fedora Kinoite, and it LOOKS GREAT.
I can't remember when I ran KDE except with a couple of live environment for maybe a few minutes over the past xx years.
So basically no experience since KDE 3.
This just looks so nice. We'll see how I get along.
