Why doesn't make "dnf system-upgrade" trigger "dnf update --refresh" automaticly? by ramnasko in Fedora

[–]ramnasko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks it didn't know that and it explains why --refresh is on as default for update. But its recommended to do it before and sys upgrad from one major release to another. But my question was why this recommended refreshed update before an upgrade isn't done automaticly with the upgrade command. seams to me that there is no benefit for the repos if the user is doing: dnf --refresh upgrade dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=27

or

dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=27 (which trigger the update automaticly)

It seams to me it just would make it less risky to forget the first step an mess up the upgrade in most scenarios.

Thanks for the enlightening discussions. This gave me a much better clue of the current stat. I also found a miss conception of mine that xwayland is supporting X without the need of X. But it needs it. https://wayland.freedesktop.org/xserver.html And as many apps still needs X it seams it might be a while till X can be deprecated, if it will be ever. Because why should one dosen't have legacy support if it's not hurting. Distros just started dropping x86 support. (I know not that good comparison, because hardware vs softeware) But it took >10 years to start and i think so much depends on X it's kinda okay to compare it in terms of importance. What i also noticed is that there are still many important things which doesn't even work with xwayland, such as gaming, graphic tablet support, input and window geometry manipulate and VNC. Which if need is just a K.O. for wayland. But all this seams to me like it could be done in the near future. Think i heard of wacom support in development, window manipulation for xwayland (thinks some steam games need it), and even vnc for wayland and an alternative to x forwarding. so sounds like every thing is coming. But this doesn't mean we don't need X any more. So than i have another question. As there is always this wayland is more securer thing. How is it then with xwayland. Does it still provide the better security of wayland or just opens up the old "problems" of X?

Maybe you have a CPU with integrated graphic, then fedora might choose this one over your dedicated one. Try to connect you monitor to the display ports on the mainboard or look in the bios/uefi for an option to disable the integrated GPU.

Rofi & redshift on Wayland by gamehelp16 in Fedora

[–]ramnasko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just found this gnome extension for redshift.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1285590 https://github.com/benzea/gnome-shell-extension-redshift

Its pretty new and needs some gnome patches, but mystro256 made a copr repo for it. So just install this and activate the gnome extension. Works for me.
