is there a setting for this in voyager?
Currently most cooperate linux companies are not in the business of selling linux desktop itself. Rather its linux for servers, administration, embedded things (like cars), and other enterprisey stuff. So at least at the moment they are not looking to profit of linux desktop users directly which has saved us from enshittiffication attempts.
But even if they in the future attempt to do something fishy, that most users dont agree with, I think by the virtue of how stuff works on linux it will be very easy for people to move to something else or a fork, and still get 95-99% of the same experience. This in turn will force companies to think twice before doing something like this.
A good example here is canonical/Ubuntu who has made questionable decisions in the past and each time they had to take it back. Even now, Snap due to its use of a centralized store is almost universally shunned by the linux community and is only supported maintained by canonical. While Flatpak is supported by the wider linux community with people from different projects contributing to it (though I sometimes worry about everyone centralizing on Flathub to the point where they are actively discourage other projects from launching/maintaining their own stores/repos).
This is why we need to build and champion tech that is resistant to control and enshittiffication. Then we dont have to worry too much about who is developing it.
It would be really awesome if they gave up AOSP governance to a foundation under the linux foundation but I doubt they would. They recently made Android development completely private.
are you using any sddm themes? splash screens?
Also check/share the logs (you can use ksystemlogs or gnome logs if you prefer guis).
Impressive work, thanks!
Are there plans to apply for it again? Gnome got a lot of mileage from it, would be really nice if they applied again.
And what happened to Sonny Piers? Did more info come out about why he got suddenly expelled from the foundation? It looked like he was doing a really good job with STF and I haven't heard anything bad about him all this time.
KWin has gained support for the initial version of the Wayland session restore protocol
I found it interesting that they were merging support for a not-yet-merged protocol so I looked it up.
It seems the plan is to use the new experimental protocol thing that was introduced a while back:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/392
I wonder whats the catch. I have a hard time accepting some company would provide such a service for free no limits (unless its a non-profit run through donations or similar).
which gen is your igpu? Older intel igpus need libva-intel-driver
pkg installed (on Arch, not sure whats the Fedora equivalent) and the env variable LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME
set to i965
.

There is also bluefin lts (from the same ppl) if someone wants a more actively supported bootc system.
