I am used to getting an email from Tim Keller when there is a WLUG meeting. I am also used to it being on the second Thursday of the month. One of those didn't happen. Two meetings ago I tried to do a presentation of LaTeX, but share-screen did not work like it did three meetings ago. One meeting ago, share screen worked, but everyone was talking about something else, and I wasn't really ready anyway. I could try again, though I am not really ready today either. ---- Also
Hey Everybody,
This is a reminder that we've got a meeting tomorrow at WPI! Time: 7pm Location: WPI Student Center Room 128 (Taylor Room) Down below the stairs. Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Topic: frame.work laptop demo, passbolt demo
Cara Salter has agreed to come and show off her frame.work laptop. This laptop is designed with upgrade ability in mind. Components such as the motherboard can be easily swapped for more powerful versions, etc.
If Cara (or anyone with a frame.work) is still around, I would be interested in an update on this. Does it still work, or did it blow blue smoke? Did you actually upgrade anything? Would you recomend it? ---- Chuck Anderson via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> writes:
I noticed in "dnf update" on Fedora 41:
Installing: kernel x86_64 6.12.4-200.fc41 updates 0.0 B kernel-core x86_64 6.12.4-200.fc41 updates 73.6 MiB kernel-modules x86_64 6.12.4-200.fc41 updates 62.5 MiB kernel-modules-core x86_64 6.12.4-200.fc41 updates 37.1 MiB kernel-modules-extra x86_64 6.12.4-200.fc41 updates 2.7 MiB
OK. Google finds a page that says dnf is Fedora's replacement for yum, which is apt or rpm re-done. Just another package manager. You installed a kernel; what did you notice that was interesting? -- Keith
