Yay! I've been running it on my Fedora KDE setup since it was pushed out to Workstation in Fedora 32, and it's been a fantastic improvement. I'd be very happy to see this land. Two questions: * Has anyone reached out to the other spins to see if they'd like to include it? I think it actually makes sense to do it for all Fedora desktops. * How will this get activated on upgrades? Same strategy we did for Workstation with Supplements or something else? -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
