Many digital painting application (Krita, Mypaint) will not work well on Wayland and will contains more bugs, lags, freeze and you'll get more limited option for installing a tablet or a color profile.Ĭomparison of the setup dialog for tablet on Wayland versus X11. Unfortunately, Wayland is far to be ready for digital-painter, graphists, and artists. The X11 session option on the bottom right of the login screen.įedora 36 KDE Spin proposes Wayland technology for their display server by default. Once done, don't forget to install all updates using Discover (you'll get an icon in the system tray inviting you to do so) and reboot. It's more complete and detailed than everything I could write about it. I found it very well done and written for Linux, Windows and Mac user. You'll find the ISO file for the Fedora KDE Spin here.įor the install of Fedora itself, I prefer to redirect you to the official Installation Guide documentation. You'll find a free copy of the ISO image of Fedora KDE Spin on Fedora official website, just scroll down to the "Spins" box near the footer of the page, and then click on it. It is mainly about more options for the tablet settings, options to setup a neutral colored theme, thumbnails for your artwork source files and easier file type association and 'open with' menu, better support for multi monitor workflow and perfect desktop integration with my core application: Krita and Kdenlive. But I'm recommending the KDE Spin because of many reasons that will be detailed later on this article. You'll certainly see that Fedora flagship desktop environment is GNOME Desktop Environment. Just as one swallow doesn't make a summer, I have no idea if it will be the case for future Fedora 36 to future Fedora 37 for end of 2022, but let's try. I had Fedora on a spare laptop for a while (for testing), and it managed to update itself from Fedora 35 to 36 without a single issue. It also looks like Fedora is able upgrade between major versions without a problem. This way, you never have libraries or software crashing in mid-air on your system during an update. The software are then installed at the next system boot. You'll get a collection of packages frozen for around half a year, and that's good for training your habits and setup a workflow that − you can trust − will work as intended when required.Īpplication updates are installed after reboot and, when updating, the software center (named "Discover" on the KDE Spin) will only download the list of packages and prompt you for a restart later. You won't get the surprise of having software changing all the time. It's not a rolling GNU/Linux distribution. Especially when the GNU/Linux ecosystem has many other choices. With 22.04, I felt Canonical wanted really to push Snap on me and I couldn't see any technical advantage to impose to myself this technology. Of course, all of that pre-existed 22.04 in a lighter form, and it was easier to dodge or uninstall it. To top it all off, a Snap directory was even hard-coded in my /home directory. Also, applications installed with the command line "apt install" could come as Deb package, or as Snap package without knowing it ahead (and Snap version often comes with additional bugs). It has a slower Firefox packaged only as Snap. Unfortunately, I tested 22.04LTS and I disliked it. ![]() So, with that success in mind, I imagined it would be a no-brainer to continue with the newest Kubuntu to the date: 22.04LTS. My last guide was about Kubuntu 20.04LTS, and I used it during two years. ![]() Why not continuing with Kubuntu 22.04LTS?
