Hello World!
I'm John. I'm currently a year 1 student pursuing a Degree in Information Systems at Singapore Management University. While I'm not an expert at linux, I've been tinkering around with the Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) back when I was still getting my Diploma in 2017.
In the past year, I've been exposed to the idea of FOSS after learning about the progress of the matrix protocol. While stuck in lockdown, I've learnt to navigate the Linux ecosystem with Debian and Raspbian (being a Debian based OS) as a side effect of learning how to spin my own instance of synapse. After completing the project, I realised that projects like Debian and Fedora were feats of accomplishment (especially when the motivation for these projects are not based on money). The idea of having people take ownership of their computer and having an OS that respects your privacy is something I believe is a right to everyone in this new digital world. I cannot wait for a future where people adopt Linux based OSes by default.
At the moment I have about 2 devices, one of which with F34 running already.
1. Dell Precision M3800 - Dual booted with Window 10, Fedora 34 Workstation 2. Macbook Air 2020 - MacOS Big Sur 3. Dell XPS 8300 (2011) - Debian Buster (Used to run web services like Nextcloud,Synapse, etc) Right now I'm daily driving the second device.
I'd like to see the macbook be able to eventually run Fedora without losing functionality (like wifi) so I'd like to help test dual booting test case! Also, if you'd like me to run rawhide I could do it on my Dell laptop and send whatever I find (if you could point me to the test case for it that'll be great too)
Here's to bringing Fedora to my friends!

Hello and welcome. I just sponsored you in the QA FAS group.
This list will get updates on different testing related activities. Subscribing the test-announce mailing list [0] could be useful as well.
You can start to test updates in Bodhi [1] for Fedora 33 and Fedora 34. Update testing is where a tester tests a package and gives out a +1 Karma for PASS and -1 Karma for FAIL. You can go to bodhi.fedoraproject.org where you can sort the packages with Fedora Releases and tags viz "pending" & "testing". You can read much about update testing here [2]. You can also use the RPM package fedora-easy- karma for giving out feedbacks from the command line for the installed packages (enable the updates-testing repository!).
Running release validation tests [3] [4] could be useful, even if we are still on Rawhide.
We usually involve ourselves in activities marked in [5], you can catch us mostly at #fedora-qa on freenode IRC, Matrix or Telegram.
If you have any question, please ask!
