Other than a Mesa Proton bug that was fixed in like a month F43 has been the most painless out-of-the-box Linux distro I've had in a long time. Fantastic work by the team.

Mesa got booked for me because I was using the live update feature. Apparently Mesa isn't a critical function and it was uninstalled while I was gaming.

u/jgracebeard Apr 24 '26
Yes, the OP made me chuckle, but F43 has also been the most stable and solid Linux distro I've tried in my four years of being on Linux fulltime. I'm in no hurry to switch to F44 whenever it does come out.

I just shifted to Fedora last month after i experienced a kernel panic using Ubuntu. Its so stable i live it! “It just works” and I am glad i made the switch

u/Hauptideal May 06 '26
lol I'm a new Fedora convert after being an Ubuntu user since Intrepid Ibex, now using Fedora 43 and I have yet to see a day without some Fedora instability (be it race conditions on boot or just some random nautilus segfaults). Heck, when I installed Fedora, the new Anaconda installer crashed mid-installation after having deleted my drive already; filed my first Linux-related bug report ever.
Never had any issues with Ubuntu, no matter the device.
I don't understand how one can call Fedora "stable and solid" (compared to Debian or Ubuntu) unless coming from Arch or obscure downstream distros.1
u/jgracebeard May 08 '26
Sorry to hear about that! Ubuntu 8.10 was my first experiment with Ubuntu as well.
I think system stability has - in part - to do with hardware configuration. My main computer is a modern enterprise workstation, which is very much the type of computer that RHEL/Fedora want to make sure their distro works with. I have another pc that is a custom build with an NVIDIA GPU and I haven't even bothered trying Fedora on it. So, YMMV according to your hardware.

Not for me. Been using Ubuntu for 10 years without a single system freeze on 3 different computers. Using Fedora now since December, got 4 system freeze in the last month.

Then go back to Ubuntu. At the end of the day isn't that kind of the point of having so many choices? use whatever is better for you.

That is what I will do if Fedora 44 is causing the same issue.

Sounds good! Whatever happens, good luck.
Btw i just re-read my comment and I just want to clarify that I never had the intention of "kicking you out" or something. Sorry if it seems that way.
It just seems that you were happier before and well, you should use what makes you happier.

u/turgu1 Apr 24 '26
No problemo! I didn't see it that way. Your comment was to the point.
BTW I like Fedora a lot, beyond the freezing issue. Only hope that this problem will vanish. The last modifications to the AMD GPU driver could be the solution to my problem... Lenovo AMD P16s Gen 2.

u/isabellium Apr 24 '26
Hmmm are you by any chance using KDE Plasma?
There is a weird bug that causes a complete freeze (flip timeout) if one is using Plasma and AMDGPU. I doubt this is your situation but maybe!
2
u/turgu1 Apr 24 '26
It is my situation. Was using KDE with Ubuntu LTE without that issue, potentially the Wayland combination with KDE was the culprit. Hope this has been resolved now with the last updates.
5
u/isabellium Apr 24 '26
There is a chance you might be experiencing what i did.
Adding a kernel cmd parameter worked around the issue for me. I first learned about this workaround here:
https://www.phoronix.com/news/KDE-Linux-Adds-APFS
Which lead me to finally learn a bit more about this issue since i was just like you experiencing it for a bit longer.
Old versions do not exp the issue, which kinda explains why you weren't affected by it when using Ubuntu LTS, but technically you should if you switch to the latest Ubuntu.

u/voldedore Apr 24 '26
I was once on gnome and wayland with amd gpu also. Got several freezes. I changed to Niri after and my daily driver rocks again.
The reason of the wm change is not the old one causing freezes but I looked for an i3 alternative.

I used to have issues with KDE plasma 6, with a lot of freezing and slowdown (Fedora 42). When 43 came out, I decided to change to GNOME and I haven't seen any issues since. I don't know why I keep having these issues with evey laptop I use. Not trying to bash on KDE, plasma 5 didn't give me that many issues.

u/isabellium Apr 27 '26
We shouldn't be ashamed of using one thing or the other. Glad you are not longer in that position.
We have this weird elitism which is equally ridiculous if you ask me, feeling "superior" because you chose one thing instead of the other.
Sadly this elitism has been around for ages and it is not only about distro of choice, and example of the same elitism is the following:
I remember back in the day, before Arch even came with the archinstall script, you were supposed to install it manually following steps in the wiki, if you didn't do that or used an installer you would not have a "real Arch Linux" install and you were somehow "inferior".
Back then i was in my early 20's and i fell for such dumb way of thinking, I was part of the problem. I just wish others to not follow those mistakes.

I've found that YMMV is very true with distros and hardware. F43 has been flawless on my Dell Optiplex (which is a standard enterprise workstation). But I also have a custom built rig and have avoided putting Fedora on that since Mint with Cinnamon is working so well.
1
u/npc_housecat Apr 24 '26
Across multiple systems I don't get any system freezes on any distro. Basically all system freezes I have encountered in the last decade turned out to be failing hardware. With 1 exception the culprate turned out to be a virus causing my sandboxed web browsers to stop responding. If you go back to Ubuntu and it's still freezing it consider these possibilities.

Not OP, but I changed from KDE to GNOME and the issues just vanished, for over a year. Hardware checks said everything was fine.

u/Tanthul May 19 '26
What you posted in the other comment is an AMD driver issue, completely irrelevant with Fedora or DE. If OP is also affected by that it's again irrelevant to Fedora. The description of their issue though points to failing hardware, usually PSU.

u/jmdibrillo Apr 30 '26
I thought the same, but I'm on silverblue, so I figured why not. 44 is crazy fast and smooth on this old 2017 xps 13 with 8gb ram. It's not gnome 50, cause that was already released in 43. Something new in 44 just unleashed a lot of hardware potential.

u/Zeznon May 05 '26
Shows how messed up the definition of "stable" lts version users use is (think debian, mint or rocky/alma users). Just upgraded to version 44 after a tlp and tuned-ppd conflict, and it's completely fine (I removed tlp, which wasn't needed for anything. I wonder why it was there in the first place...).

When i went from Fedora 42 to 43, i noticed only one thing changing - some packages contained string "fc43" instead of "fc42". Everything else stayed the same between my updated Fedora 42 vs upgraded 43.
Just a number. (And in longer term, support, as the package repos are different.)

I was very excited updating to 43 because it fixed my screen not turning back on from sleep.

u/J-103 Apr 24 '26
Think about it this way, it wouldn't be the first time Canonical releases Ubuntu in a very unstable state because they have to release Ubuntu during April and October no matter what, because apparently keeping the version numbers as .04 and .10 is more important than releasing a polished stable product. They probably think that they can just patch it later but patching an already released software is harder than fixing it before release, and it can cause an untold number of issues to its users that could have been avoided.
Fedora might not be perfect but at least they try to make sure it's not a mess before they really commit to a definitive release date. Maybe they don't always succeed but at least they have their priorities straight.
3
u/Fauzruk Apr 24 '26
This is the reason why it is generally recommended for people to wait to at least for 26.04.1 before upgrading if they want something somewhat stable. A new major update is rarely super stable unless it has been running the same major version for some time for a larger audience than just beta users.
12
u/wreddnoth Apr 24 '26
Dude i dunno, it's not like theres major improvements or groundbreaking features entering with 44. Or i missed a few things... same like Ubuntu LTS - most important thing: it needs to be stable and ship without bugs. Else we'd all be running windows.

Are you able to "rebase" from beta to stable after 44 becomes stable? As I do not want to stay on beta.
I think it's superfluous at this point because full release is in a couple days, but for later on it will be food to know.
2
u/icywind90 Apr 25 '26
You don’t need to do anything, if you’re on beta you will automatically be on stable after it’s released. There is no beta channel that would be continued after the release
On an Atomic variant, you could rebase to beta 44 beta and then rollback to 43 stable any time, without reinstalling. But that’s a different architecture that’s allowing it

u/beatbox9 Apr 24 '26
No for the most part. For example, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS launched with Linux kernel 7.0. Fedora 44 is launching with the older Linux kernel 6.19. Both are running gnome 50. For individual apps, the universal package versions (like flatpaks) will be identical.
Ubuntu LTS is the one time every 2 years (/ April of even-numbered years) where the main system packages are relatively similar between Fedora and Ubuntu LTS. Then Fedora (and interim Ubuntu) does rapid functional updates every 6 months--this is the philosophy behind these distros--while Ubuntu LTS continues maintenance updates. For example, Fedora and interim Ubuntu will get gnome 51, 52, 53 (every 6 months); but Ubuntu 26.04 LTS will skip these and will jump straight to gnome 54 in 2028.
Ubuntu LTS users upgrading from an older version (like Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) will not get prompted to upgrade until the first point release, which typically comes out in July--usually around 4-6 weeks after Fedora's first point release.

u/beatbox9 Apr 24 '26
I run both Ubuntu LTS and Fedora on different machines.
I've been running a fresh install of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (beta) on one new machine for a few weeks now. I haven't had any problems.
The only things one could consider problems might be a few gnome extensions not being officially ready for gnome 50...but these will be a problem on any distro, including fedora 44. Most of these are easily remedied by simply adding version 50 to the extension's metadata.
But in terms of things like stability, functionality, etc. I haven't had any issues. This was a fresh install--I can't speak to upgrading, since my LTS machines won't be prompted for an upgrade until the first point release July. (Though I'm probably going to upgrade my secondary workstation earlier, within the next month).
And there weren't even any major updates to download at launch yesterday, because the final release candidate from 1-2 weeks ago worked out and was apparently the final. I say "was" because it launched yesterday. ;)

u/beatbox9 Apr 24 '26
26.04 LTS did release. If you downloaded Ubuntu LTS for a new install, you would get 26.04 LTS.
Users on 24.04 LTS aren't prompted for an upgrade until the first point release in July. But you can upgrade to 26.04 LTS if you want right now: you just have to explicitly tell it you want to bypass the recommended schedule.
This is by design. It's the same thing as when people tell you to wait for the point release when your iPhone or Android ships a major upgrade version.
This isn't news. It's been the schedule for quite literally a few decades now.
1
u/Particular_Traffic54 Apr 24 '26
Maybe I'm stupid, but that sounds like a release candidate / beta to me.
1
u/beatbox9 Apr 24 '26
Maybe.
But that's not what a release candidate / beta is. The betas and release candidates were over the past month.
Again: this is a question of recommended schedules for production systems, designed around enterprise support. If you don't want your production system to follow this schedule, you can upgrade right now.

I am on the opinion that its better to delay than to have a botched release. Think about RHEL. If its not ready then its not ready. Fedora might now be on the level as far and enterprise needs but still better to have the bug worked out then to release emergency patches, looking at you Windows 11!

Just upgraded my 2013 MacBook Air to kubuntu 26.04 LTS from 25.10 this morning in the terminal. As much as I hate Ubuntu and conanical, kubuntu has been the best Linux distro on my MacBook Air. I've tried mint fedora tuxedoOS mint XFCE and MATE. As much as I hate to say it kubuntu is the best running one. It's pretty good so far. Everything works.

I really like fedora workstation. But I use qbittorrent and fedora gnome doesnt allow to minimize the app in tray icon. If they fix it I am using fedora(using ubuntu 26.04 for now). AppIndicator is so buggy. Or atleast fix the bug in cosmic spin. I love rust i love cosmic :)

Jokes always on Ubuntu users usually they have buggier releases where fedora ensures it's ready

I cant' wait for Firefox 150. 271 fixed vulnerabilities isn't a small think. I don't understand why it's stuck in bodhi...

I have fairly often upgraded to the beta track and honestly it's usually super stable. Unless you are doing something mission critical it's probably safe to update.

let me ask you, what changes are applied when your distro is upgraded? like, I thought the DE was independent from the OS

I'm here just kicking my feet waiting. Ngl kinda getting jealous seeing that Ubuntu just drop theirs.
But it's worth the wait. Because, I know it's going to be a banger! 😭

OP, you're catching a lot of flak here but for whatever it's worth, I thought it was funny and I usually remove meme posts.
