You should probably update to 40. Once 41 comes out, upgrading from 38 isn't going to be supported anymore.
Does Fedora kill upgrading? Weird.

Could we do “version leaps”? (from 38 to 40 to 41 when it's released) That's why I did back when I only have my Ubuntu 16 CD.
(note: it failed miserably)

This place is just a memory to me, I may return occasionally but I'm busy.
I guess I'm an ATer now.

I think I may have seasoned my posts a bit too much.
Also, my posts are getting lengthy lately. Whoops.


Colored Pencil is supposed to color the siggy, but Scratch says it's too big.


There is nothing here…

From a quick Google search, it looks like you can do that (in the case of 37 to 40 at least, which should be similar to upgrading to 41 from 38).

I love Wayland and explicit sync!

I'm feeling of installing Linux on my new laptop
Should I install Arch again or use another distro like Fedora

Fedora GNOME or Ubuntu will be good as they install non-free firmware out-of-the-box (Which is necessary depending on the laptop).

I ended up with Fedora
Turns out it's so stingy with patent-encumbered things that the H.264 codec it uses is flawed and I had to use another repo to get a better one

See RPM Fusion and how to include it in your repository list (or whatever it's called in Fedora). The free repo has x264, a much better H.264 codec.

I don't know why they didn't include x264 in their official repo, considering that x264 is licensed with GPLv2 and are in the rpmfusion-free repo. Instead we had this libopenh264 thing made on behalf of…Cisco, for some reason. Maybe Fedora/RH had beef with x264 before? I don't know.

Hi! This is an alt of my main account.
I'm “back” from a 10-month hiatus.
I forgot the ways of the forums, so I might be wrong.
My first post!
