Today we're announcing a huge leap in gaming for Apple Silicon - you can now play AAA games on Fedora Asahi Remix!

The Fedora Asahi SIG is grateful to work closely with the @AsahiLinux project on making this possible.

This work leads the way for us to enable gaming on all Fedora Arm systems down the line!

Fedora 41 is coming up, but we still have a new Linux kernel to test!

Help us test Linux kernel 6.11: https://fedoramagazine.org/contribute-at-the-fedora-linux-test-week-for-kernel-6-11/

Test Days will run from this Sun, Sep 29 to Oct 6. During this time the Quality Team will be available to work with you on bugs you find!

If you're interested in QA and would like to contribute to Fedora via QA, this is a great place to start. 🚀

Linux vs Windows being head to head on performance is crazy. The conversation around desktop Linux is changing, and more and more people are listening!

Thank you to @killyourfm for this great article on Forbes about our performance, to @frameworkcomputer for being a wonderful platform to enable this, to the Fedora contributors for literally making Fedora Linux, and to the Linux community at large! 🚀

Yesterday we learned about all of the hurdles that Lenovo goes through to be able to support Fedora on their platforms. And not just the technical challenges, but the coordination and paperwork challenges as well.

They're working hard to bring us Fedora pre-installed, so we want to promote them out of gratitude!

@aral We are aware of the unfortunate issue with the screen reader for installs in Fedora 40. That should be fixed for Fedora 41 and future, but there are challenges with getting it resolved in current isos.

That issue has prompted more collaboration from the Accessibility Working Group with our Quality Team (this test week is the first step in that). We're also working to communicate more downstream and with our edition/spin working groups.

The Fedora Quality Team is joining Week of Diversity with an Accessibility Test Week!

Much like other Test Days, the goal of this week is to put Fedora through its paces and catch as many accessibility related issues as we can for our disable users. If you want to put your advocacy to action, consider participating!

The Accessibility Test Week runs from Jun 19-25, starting tomorrow.

@73ms For folks who want a neutral look (like most laptops), there is the Slimbook Executive line which is the same hardware just without Fedora branding. Though you can configure it to come with Fedora!

For Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we want to recognize the work being done on accessibility by @matt as part of the @gnome Foundation. He is the lead for @accesskit and is currently working on Newton, a Wayland-oriented solution for assistive technologies that can modernize accessibility on the Linux desktop!

@xubuntu Happy release day!

Fedora Week of Diversity (FWD) is happening on Jun 17-22! This is a time when we recognize the diverse community we have and listen to each other's stories. This year's theme is "Empowering Diversity, Enriching Communities."

For that whole week we will be sharing content, but on Jun 21-22 we will have a two day virtual event.

CfP deadline is May 11. Learn how you can be a part of this!

Here's a neat exploration of the curb cut effect for accessibility in @gnome - using accessibility tools to aid in testing automation! Has pros and cons identified in the article, but interesting nonetheless.

@10leej @tootbrute @killyourfm if it helps, HELLOTUX is an official vendor for Fedora branded merch, including this recent Fedora backpack.

@tootbrute @10leej @killyourfm unfortunately the only way to get most swag like this cup is at events with a Fedora presence. :/
