Fedora Linux 44 Beta is out and all the Atomic Desktops variants are ready for testing: https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-linux-44-beta/ We have two important removals for this cycle: - Dropping FUSE2 libraries and thus support for AppImages that require them. - Dropping old polkit pkla rules support Latest GNOME, KDE Plasma and Budgie releases are also ready. #Fedora #Atomic #AtomicDesktops #FedoraAtomicDesktops

    @siosm One of the interesting things in 44 is the better Nix integration, the post briefly mentioned working on support for /nix for Atomics, do you have any info on that? Or whether it should be recommended? Personally, I'm not a fan of how homebrew changes PATH (system packages may unexpectedly use homebrew libraries), while Nix seems to avoid that.

  • @siosm I just installed Publii (a static site generator) using the appImage. This will not work anymore in Fedora 44? I thought it was a good idea, because this way I don't have to layer the rpm-package anymore.

    @siosm what are the highlights for a better tomorrow that Fedora 44 will bring for Atomic Desktops? Just asking out of curiosity (so feel free to ignore this, I won't mind!), as to me (who is mostly an outsider in that area) it feels like development of Fedora Atomic Desktops and the tech it builds upon slowed down. You mentioning two things being dropped (which is kinda boring) just contributed to that feeling… Or have I just not been looking at the right places to see the progress that has been made? I assume it's something like that. Or are there maybe less highlights than usual temporarily because people are busy with important and hard work at the lower stack? Bootc maybe?

    @siosm Is there a FUSE3 or is FUSE in general gone now? Is sshfs still usable?

    @Scott_Trakker I don't know, it depends on what runtime they're using for their AppImage. It looks like they are also offering an RPM that could be installed in a toolbox and Flatpak support is in progress https://github.com/GetPublii/Publii/issues/1966.

    @Scott_Trakker You can export the desktop entry and update it to run the application. Distrobox also has integration for that. The Application will run in the container but it still has access to all your files.
