Nobara 42 released with Brave as the default browser (with custom policy disabling Brave Wallet, Rewards, VPN, AI Chat, and Tor while setting DNS Over HTTPS to automatic), new rolling-release model, KDE Discover and GNOME Software replaced by flatpost (a custom Flatpak installer), driver manager provides simple option to switch between open and closed NVIDIA drivers etc.:

(Wow they made the thing I wanted all the time: a Brave browser without all that additional crap. The only thing missing is availability on Flathub lol)
(Separate software installers for native packages and Flatpaks? Why don't just add Flatpak support to their existing DNF frontend? 🤔️)

KDE discontinues Plasma LTS releases, reduces feature update to 2 in a year instead of 3, offers extended bug-fix support period:
https://news.itsfoss.com/kde-plasma-lts-discontinued/
(Well done, KDE! In my experience, the biggest issue with Plasma has always been the amount of annoying bugs and crashes, which kind of negated the experience for me, despite the cool extra features and the extensive customization options. However, this new strategy might pay off in the long term, and make Plasma a more stable experience.)

One slight wrinkle is that waking from sleep is a no-go. It either freezes, or the fonts don't load so it just shows empty boxes and I have to figure out how many steps down from the top right (Gnome) is the Power Off option.

It's third one down, for my future reference. #Ubuntu2504

Powering off is probably better for the electricity bill anyway.

Upgrades to Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky Puffin are suspended

The Ubuntu release team have identified some of the issues that may affect all Ubuntu upgrades from the Oracular Oriole, which is a 20th year anniversary version of Ubuntu when it was unveiled back in 2004, to the Plucky Puffin that was released a week ago. The following issues were discovered:

The release team have decided to halt all upgrades to the Plucky Puffin while the following critical issues mentioned above are being investigated. Once they are fixed, users can upgrade to Ubuntu 25.04 again. This is done as a safety measure to avoid people having to deal with critical bugs like these after the upgrade.

Das Upgrade-Angebot etwa von Ubuntu 24.10 auf 25.04 führte auf diversen Systemen zu teils massiven Problemen. Daher hat Ubuntu das Upgrade nun temporär gestoppt, bis die Probleme behoben sind.
