I am running Fedora 39 right now and the last time I did a distro upgrade my graphics drivers were a huge PITA. Did your upgrade to 40 went smooth?

    I upgraded from 39 to 40 and I think the only issues I had were:

    • Background I was using got removed, got a better one anyway
    • A few gnome extensions stopped working and I had to update them or find an alternative
    • Had to re-create virtual disk mapped to real disk for booting windows installation in virtual box (there is a sonicwall VPN I have to use for work which only works on Windows)

    I think that was it!

    I have had some strange behaviour from Firefox saying it’s become unresponsive a few times and at the same time Thunderbird but that seems to have fixed itself now

      I had that happen a few times. This time I downloaded those backgrounds again (from gnome-backgrounds repository). Still, it’s pretty annoying to have this happen.

      I upgraded just before the beta. Discovered a mutter crash, reported it, it was fixed in a day or so.
