Re: F40 Change Proposal: KDE Plasma 6 (System Wide)

I'm also writing this reply from X11, but I wanted to suggest that you try the Alacritty terminal emulator if you haven't already. It has made a wonderful replacement for st for me (I absolutely needed full-colour emoji support; having emojis kill my terminal and IRC client like clockwork was not tenable. But I digress!). It claims to have full native Wayland support, although I can't remember if I used that mode.

Since I imagine you are nearing the end or have already concluded your internship, I was curious to know how your project went. O3DE looks very exciting, so it would be wonderful to have it in the Fedora repositories. It often requires that large initial effort to get an application into one software distribution, but then all the other distributions with similar policies can more easily follow.

Re: F39 Change Proposal: IBus 1.5.29 (System-Wide)
As someone who does not use the Plasma desktop currently, I am a little confused as to why this is a change proposal. If I'm reading it correctly, Fedora configured Plasma to run on Wayland, which partially broke IBus support. Now, IBus has been updated upstream to support keyboard layout switching on Wayland. What I don't see here is why upgrading IBus now would be considered a System-Wide change, and what downsides, if any, this might have.

Re: Self Introduction: Riya Bisht
Dear Riya Bisht,
Welcome to Fedora! With your interest and experience with Qt and package
mangers, I would suggest you have a look at the Fedora Kinoite
'spin'. It combines KDE with a very modern package management system
based on containers. I'm sure they would appreciate your involvement and
help you get started :)
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-kinoite/
I gave a talk at the online LibrePlanet 2022 conference all about
package managers ("Distributing freedom: How package managers empower
software users"), so you might be interested in watching that:

Whilst I'm not currently a user of EPEL, I've used Blender extensively, and the absence of Cycles support is surprising to me. Eevee is clearly one of the most significant feature additions to Blender in recent years, but many existing projects can still only be rendered with Cycles. I hope you are intending to include Cycles in EPEL's Blender package when it's possible to do so. :) Best wishes, Sebastian ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
Re: F37 proposal: Enhance Persian Font Support (Self-Contained Change proposal)
As something of a typography enthusiast, I'm very much in support of this. For English, the consistent fonts on Fedora Workstation make a noticeable and positive effect on the general aesthetic, so anything that can widen that benefit would be advantageous. I did notice that the 'How to Test' section of the proposal was empty; just as a suggestion, please could we have some screenshots of the main Persian fonts used in Fedora currently? I'm mostly just curious, but it might be useful for testing to see whether the changes are successfully reflected in all desktop applications - especially for people like me, who can't (yet!) read the Persian alphabet.

Re: F37 Change: Deprecate Legacy BIOS (System-Wide Change proposal)
I frequently use BIOS-only machines which don't have a UEFI boot option - and one of those machines is indeed running Fedora! Certainly, I understand that there are better ways of booting systems now, but for the time being BIOS is still very important. If the installation media can not install onto BIOS-only machines yet all the bootloader stages support BIOS, then there will be an awkward stage where some existing Fedora installations can be upgraded, but if anything goes wrong it'd be impossible to reinstall them! The lack of a BIOS installer as a fallback would make running Fedora on BIOS-only machines risky enough that it seems to me as no better than removing support entirely. Could I missing something here? Also, one thing that I would be greatly reassured by is a date for removal of BIOS support entirely. This would at least give confidence that is worth installing Fedora on these machines for use in a limited, but known, duration, rather than looking at alternative distributions now. ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

I do actually install RPM package inside containers, but in my case I'm using containers more as short-lived virtual machines for testing than as a deployment mechanism. That said, I don't think that this nullifies your point, as I'm not using a read-only /usr inside these containers.
