Re: F37 Change: Deprecate Legacy BIOS (System-Wide Change proposal)

Your calculations have to be off; I’m pretty sure there are way more than 100 Fedora users with a Nvidia GPU. The Linux Hardware Project alone reports 106 Fedora users with Nvidia GPUs (which is actually 29% of their sample) so that’s a hard minimum:

I don’t agree with this change, as it seems obvious that many users who do not want proprietary software installed do not want repositories with proprietary software in them installed either (whether or not these repositories are enabled) and would want to have to opt-in to that too.

For Fedora, linux-hardware.org says 78% use EFI and 16% have Secure Boot enabled. Not a very good data set, though Fedora telemetry wouldn’t be either. ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to

Maybe Workstation could provide Déjà Dup in the default system to make it discoverable and encourage users to create backups. It has to be an installed application (can’t be a website), and most users would benefit from having backups. ___ devel mailing

That’s one fewer reason not to use XFS then. It seems Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst was not updated and still says only ext2, ext4, and btrfs have writeback implemented. ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe

The master branch for cp now defaults to copy-on-write on filesystems that support reflinks, which should make copies more efficient if Fedora starts using btrfs: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=25725f9d41735d176d73a757430739fb71c7d043. Dolphin and KIO also seem like

I intended to demonstrate that cgroups can be used to cause the kernel OOM killer to react appropriately and fast enough, implying that replacing the OOM killer is not necessary and that replacing it by a userspace OOM killer that does not account for cgroups can be undesirable. The exact same

This change would appear more acceptable if it was combined with removing the Fedora user agent patch for Firefox (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/firefox/blob/master/f/firefox-fedora-ua.patch), which is simultaneously a worse privacy risk and a worse way to count users than randomized
