#334 What’s New in Fedora KDE 41
Closed: published 5 months ago by rlengland. Opened 6 months ago by rlengland.

Article Summary:

A quick description of the recent events in Fedora KDE, followed by highlights of several important upgrades and additions in Fedora 41 - both across Fedora and uniquely in Fedora KDE

Article Description:

Below are some summary thoughts from Neal and the KDE SIG that I would be working to turn into an article:

Call back to Fedora Linux 40 and the inclusion of MegaRelease 6

Noteworthy things to call out this cycle:

  • Fedora KDE on ARM is now release-blocking: Changes/Fedora KDE AArch64 ReleaseBlocker - Fedora Project Wiki
    • Does not include ARM live ISOs yet (these are still not release-blocking), will come in a future release
  • New Fedora KDE Mobile spin along with Kinoite Mobile variant: Changes/Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile - Fedora Project Wiki
    • No install ISO for Kinoite Mobile this cycle, coming soon!
  • KDE Plasma 6.2: Plasma 6.2 - KDE Community
    • Full support for configuration and calibration of drawing tablets for artists
    • Integrated full color management support for games and multimedia enabled out of the box
    • Significantly improved accessibility, including features to adapt for color-blindness and “sticky keys” for users with limited dexterity and mobility

Fedora level things to note:

Thanks Richard - I think I have the article preview ready here, if you could let me know if that was done correctly technically, and then what changes you'd want? Thanks!

I get "Those are not the results you are looking for" error page.

I enabled public preview. I think you should be able to access it now if you sign in to WordPress first at https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/

Ah so you need to be logged in. I don't have an account on that wordpress site so I'll see when it goes live :)

Your FAS account should work.

Oh cool, didn't know wordpress supported logging in with FAS! Neat!

Unfortunately even after logging in, the link doesn'T work. 404 error.

Try browsing to it via WordPress' interface after signing in. Click on "Posts" in the left-hand column, then hover over "What’s new in Fedora KDE 41" and click the "Preview" link.

I'm able to see the posts, but the titles are not clickable so I can't view the page.

Oh some posts have a "View" link that appears when I hover over them. But the post you made for Fedora KDE 41 doesn'T have that link.

Odd. Let me see if I can bump your permissions a bit now that you have a profile in the system.

I changed you from the "Contributor" role to the "Author" role. Can you see it now if you sign out and back on?

There we go! That looks awesome!

Hi - I just wanted to check if, after the permissions/preview-link and all of that was sorted out (sorry if those were things I missed!), if there was an action I needed to take on this ticket or in WordPress itself for it to be reviewed by the editors? Thanks!

If it's not too late, there's one more thing.

Through Plasma Welcome, it is now possible to enable third party repositories (Such as flathub) directly from the UI.

Btw if it's too late, that's fine too.

@farchord It is still possible to update the article, but someone will have to provide the editors with the exact details of what should be added and where.
