In the YouTube video titled “Fedora with KDE by default? XZ backdoor fallout, German state moves to Linux,” Nick discusses various topics related to the Linux community. A proposal to make KDE the default desktop environment for Fedora is brought up, but it’s unlikely to be adopted due to Fedora’s close relationship with GNOME and investment in that desktop. The video also covers the XZ backdoor fallout, which led to delays in the release of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and affected other distributions. The German federal state Schleswig-Holstein’s decision to transition 30,000 computers from Windows and Microsoft Office to Linux is discussed, as well as Linux Mint’s upcoming release, which will move to PipeWire as its main sound server and revert to providing Deb packages for Thunderbird. The speaker also touches upon AMD open-sourcing documentation and source code for their micro engine scheduler and Thunderbird’s progress on native Exchange support. The unpopularity of Snaps as a package format in Fedora and the importance of ensuring good quality Snap versions of applications like Thunderbird are emphasized.
