Today's Rawhide update in Gnome was sweet. My install got the new Firefox 75, bringing in some alleged wayland improvements. An update to the hp printer driver, and a newer kernel, etc.
htop looks good on my system. Firefox 75 seems to work okay. I installed the new IceCat having not used it in over two years, and have never really used it. YouTube worked, but you have to extra-click to get the html going. Another web-site with videos did not play. I do not know anything about all that video codec stuff. I assume this new IceCat is based on a much older version of Firefox, so I guess it is only of interest to the people needing free software. I assume that Icecat is better than the older version, so any improvements or progress to the free software movement is a good thing. more packages have the fc33 designation, so that is a good thing. GDM or gdm, for example. David Locklear P.S. I only spend about an hour a day on my desktop computer, and that is mostly watching YouTube, and playing FreeCell, so I apologize to those of you who are far far more advanced than I ever will be. I have not used Ubuntu or Linux Mint in way over 2 years, but did tinker with Debian Buster about six months ago. I lived in TrueOS as my only operating system for my hobby-business for about 4 months about two years ago. FreeBSD just was not my thing, but I hope to try it again someday. I only briefly tinkered with Manjaro and Antergos about two years ago, and maybe a week with some of the Exton distros like SlackEx. I lived in Mageia 6 ( Cauldron at that time ) and ROSA R11 for several months, before trying Fedora 30, I think. Some other distros I like are SparkyLinux 5, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE Neon Unstable Developer's Edition. I have watched over 100 video reviews about distros on YouTube, by "Don't Call me Lenny," and others who were popular about 3 years ago. I have not done much of that lately. I check in with Eznix on YouTube sometimes, but he is a Debian guy. I posted a few of my own videos, but they had no sound. I would like to revisit that someday and make a beginner video about Rawhide. There are way over ten popular distros that I have not tried, and several alternative desktop environments, that I have not tried. I have only spent a few minutes playing with a tiling window manager. I read the news on Phoronix everyday. I spend at least an hour surfing the web on my Android smartphone that has a 6 inch screen. My kid and wife use Apple stuff, and a Chromebook. I have a nice Chromebook, but seldom if ever use it. All of my Microsoft stuff is collecting dust in the attic. I hope to try someday to get Fedora working on an old laptop, but that laptop needs a new battery. Life is so weird now. I have had very little human contact in the past 3 weeks.
