The Fedora Project Leader is willfully ignorant about Flathub (gnome.org)
Today I woke up to a link of an interview from the current Fedora Project Leader, Matthew Miller. Brodie who conducted the interview mentioned that Miller was the one that reached out to him. The background of this video was the currently ongoing issue regarding OBS, Bottles and the Fedora project, which Niccollo made an excellent video explaining and summarizing the situation. You can also find the article over at thelibre.news. “Impressive” as this story is, it’s for another time.

Fedora 42 Looks to Ship Optimized Executables for Different x86_64 Capabilities (phoronix.com)
Fedora Linux has already supported making use of glibc HWCAPs for allowing libraries to be built for different x86_64 micro-architecture feature levels for performance-sensitive code where it can pay off when leveraging AVX/AVX2 or other newer Intel/AMD CPU instruction set extensions. For Fedora 42 is now a proposal to extend that further to allow binary executables to also leverage glibc HWCAPs for better performance.

Fedora KDE Desktop Spin Promoted to Same Tier as Gnome-Based Fedora Workstation (phoronix.com)
Earlier this year was a Fedora change proposal seeking to make KDE Plasma the default over GNOME for Fedora 42.
