📦 Fedora Linux 43 to Feature RPM 6
—Linuxiac

「 What do users get out of this? One word- security. RPM 6 comes with signature checking turned on by default, ensuring that only positively verified packages can be installed. In other words, users will no longer be able to install unsigned or tampered packages without explicitly choosing to override the system’s security measures 」

Linuxiac · Fedora Linux 43 to Feature RPM 6Fedora Linux 43 may ship with RPM 6, bringing enhanced security features like enforced signature checking and multiple signatures per package.

No Vivaldi, so back to Firefox. Hey there, old buddy, long time no see! Installed 1Password, hence I am writing to y'all now. This is Fedoraland, not Debian. Very nice softly blue geometric default background, easy on the eyes. Suits my aesthetic. Ultramarine's umbrellas were a bit too twee, and I didn't want to send too much time banging on the command line. Your mileage may vary.

So relatively recently I thought of trying out Linux, and then the whole Recall thing got announced, which pushed me even more in this direction. I'm not ready for a complete switch just yet, but I did make a dual boot with Windows 10 on one side and Fedora on the other.

There's an issue I consistently have, though. Whenever I boot into Fedora, the first app I open (which is usually Firefox) takes ages to load. After that it's fine (for the most part, more of that in a bit), but when I first access Firefox, a good 3-5 minutes is spent on waiting for it to allow me to do anything.

Now that alone is not
that big of an issue, if it's just a few minutes and just whenever I first boot into Linux that day. But for the past couple days, on top of this, I get frequent "Not responding" on stuff like Firefox and Files. It would probably do the same thing on other stuff, but I don't have a bunch of apps installed yet, so I wouldn't know. It's gotten to a point where I have my tablet within arm's reach in case Fedora decides that I won't be able to use my PC for like 5 minutes. Especially cause I can't even forcefully close the program and reopen it. Even that takes a long time, so I might as well just let it recover on its own.

But I'm not sure why this is happening? Any other Linux users (particularly Fedora users) that have encountered this as well?
