Test-drove Fedora 41in a VM (using Cinnamon uplifted from server) and found that compared to Fedora 40 and before GNOME Terminal lost its ability for transparency. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

Why was that removed? It was a very useful feature effectively doubling your screen estate.

Awesome!

Was running 41 Beta for a while, disabled the updates-testing Fedora/RPM Fusion repos a little bit ago, dnf distro-sync, and all is still looking good!


Ptyxis (new GNOME Terminal in Fedora 41) I also noticed has no Transparency option; I liked setting 0.8 transparency on GUI Terminals mainly for eye-candy.

It’s possible kgx (upstream GTK4 GNOME Terminal) might have transparency and is mostly the same thing; and installing gnome-terminal for the F40 previous Terminal looks like it’d work too.

The work of the community is brutally good. In my opinion, this is the best and most polished version of Fedora I have tried. :tada:

This works for me: Enabling Transparency (#99) ¡ Issues ¡ Christian Hergert / ptyxis ¡ GitLab


This sets transparency in Ptyxis with the currently-used profile (run in ptyxis):

gsettings set 'org.gnome.Ptyxis.Profile:/org/gnome/Ptyxis/Profiles/'$PTYXIS_PROFILE'/' 'opacity' '0.95'

On that comment page, there’s these commands to get the default-profile-uuid UUID:

gsettings get org.gnome.Ptyxis default-profile-uuid

And to set it with that default-profile-uuid:

gsettings set org.gnome.Ptyxis.Profile:/org/gnome/Ptyxis/Profiles/${ID_VALUE_FROM_ABOVE}/ opacity 0.8

The uuid could probably be changed to different Ptyxis profiles too and obtained through the Ptyxis Profile settings → Copy the UUID or obtained from gsettings.


There’s notes on that issue about why it isn’t exposed yet implying potential issues, but seems fine for me after a few mins :stuck_out_tongue:

A big thank-you to all who made Fedora 41 possible. Thanks for your sacrifice of time and effort.

N.B.: This is the last version that doesn’t have embedded telemetry. Beginning with Fedora 42, users will be tracked by telemetry. It’s a big no-no for me.

So maybe it can be turned off.

Updating via Gnome software was fine. No problems so far. I was hoping to have a working camera after the proposal by @jwrdegoede. Unfortunately it doesn’t work as expected.

~$ gsettings set 'org.gnome.Ptyxis.Profile:/org/gnome/Ptyxis/Profiles/'$PTYXIS_PROFILE'/' 'opacity' '0.95'
Path cannot contain two consecutive slashes (//)

$PTYXIS_PROFILE is a variable. It should be substituted with the profile name or the variable should be valorized before issuing such command. Or, this is just an example meaning: $PTYXIS_PROFILE should be replaced with something.

I.e. the command will only work when issued from the Ptyxis terminal itself :blush:

Great that 41 is here already, even before it was time. Wonderful job.
But I have a question:
I am using Kinoite 40, fully updated. How can I update (upgrade?) to 41 so things keep working? I did find the command in the Kinoite documentation how to get the new version, but I especially mean the Nvidia drivers (installed from RPM-Fusion).
Will there be a match between the kernel and the drivers or will they be out of sink? I don’t use secure boot, so no fancy stuff with passwords there.
Thanks.

It is propossed to be OPT-IN not OPT-OUT.

Unless you choose to share telemetry then nothing is shared.
I understrand that if you click through without paying attention that it will default to disabled.

Hmm… Promising. So, for installing gnome-terminal from F40, I guess I will have to download the package (and dependencies) from Bodhi?
