#Fedora Linux 41 will officially release next Tuesday (October 29).
Congratulations and thank you, Fedora community members, upstream projects, and *gestures around* everyone who puts so much work into building software in communities
@theshatterstone54 I am not, usually. I have Mate, and compiz is one of the compositors available with Mate-tweak and it makes a lot of fun effects like wiggling frames around terminals and translucent backgrounds, BUT, it does not work properly with X2Go which I rely on for a number of functions, so usually I do not enable a compositor (no compositor works with X2Go). I do wish they would fix that.
Actually if you’re on Rawhide, 42 is already out:

Isn’t rawhide the “rolling” version? If so, it does not really count as 42, just what packages 42 is likely gonna have.
@Strit They use the rolling version to develop the stable releases.
Explain yourself
@theshatterstone54 If you’re speaking to me, that’s a bit too vague.
Are you using Compiz? In 2024???
