Fedora 43 is out

The thumbnail at the left shows a brand new installation of Fedora 43 Workstation running Giocoso in perfect fashion (and with no weird lack-of-graphics problems!).

I dislike the Fedora installation process: it assumes answers to questions it never prompts you for and it's harder than it should be to over-ride those assumptions. For example, no power on Earth would ever persuade me to use the btrfs file system as my main file system but it's Fedora's default option for the root partition. Finding how to change things to use ext4 instead is much harder than it should be, requiring you to click on various unidentified sets of three dots (I believe the yoof call them 'hamburger menus') and then do an awful lot of manual finagling. Not my recommended operating system, then… but at least my software runs on it without drama!
