As F32 is going end-of-life, and having skipped F33 because of apparent
compatibility issues with the Fedora KDE Spin, I tried a clean install
of Fedora 34.
Booting from a USB of /Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso/ my computer
just hangs at the point it tries to start the desktop. I get a black
screen with a mouse cursor. Moving the mouse does not move the cursor,
the keyboard is unresponsive, the only way out I have found is to power
cycle the machine. I tried several times before giving up, settling for
upgrading my existing F32 installation with DNF
dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=34 --allowerasing
dnf system-upgrade reboot
That has worked as expected, although the filesystem is still ext4 of
course, not the new BTRFS.
Regards,
Chris R.
