How long is a string? :) "stable" is a bit of a fluid concept. Things could very stable for you, but not for someone else with different hardware or usage patterns. Rawhide has been shipping release candidate versions of rpm for a while now, so the move from that to the final release probibly isn't that much change. > I tinkered with Krita 5.0 pre-alpha as an appimage, after rebooting, > and all seems to work pretty good. > > Ephemeral web-browser is now in the fc34 branch, but you all do > know that it ask for a donation.I only used it for a few minutes and it That does not seem very nice, but I guess nothing in guidelines against it. > seemed to work ok.

The usual rule, and special in critical components like it is rpm, that first stable release is almost identical (if not equal) to the last rc (release candidate) release. Because if there was any shattering change that means usually more rounds to ensure that there are no side issues. So my educated guess here is the changes should be very small (if any).

My install of Rawhide went smoothly today. https://www.dropbox.com/s/yg08wi8f9abckg1/Photo%20Oct%2003%2C%208%2008%2045%20PM.jpg?dl=0 I see a stable rpm 4.16 replaced the rc-version.Is that a major milestone ? Does that mean Rawhide is more stable than it was in previous months ? I tinkered with Krita 5.0 pre-alpha as an appimage, after rebooting, and all seems to work pretty good. Ephemeral web-browser is now in the fc34 branch, but you all do know that it ask for a donation.I only used it for a few minutes and it seemed to work ok. Icecat too, is in the fc34 branch, and I installed that too.However, my newbie attempts to learn IceCat have been an epic-failure. I got as far once as the password dialogue-box in Gmail, but could not get that far in YouTube. And trying to click on one of the popular risque web-sites gave a list of a hundred things that needed to be clicked on and I gave up. IceCat did partially load every page I tried.
