Messinet Secure Services

Messinet Secure Services is an ever-changing virtual classroom in which I learn about the GNU/Linux platform and all the services it can deliver. These services are the technological incarnation of an idea centered around keeping my family in touch with each other and technology.

Fedora 35 Upgrades Complete

Messinet Secure Services has upgraded from Fedora 34 to Fedora 35 and we’re no longer building Fedora 34 RPMs in our Fedora Linux RPM Repository. Please check out our builds in the Copr Fedora community build service.

Once again, the upgrades completed successfully using the DNF system-upgrade plugin. We wish to thank the developers for this option, as it continues to streamline and speed up the upgrade process across multiple machines.

We’re also happy to report that the Fedora 35 KDE/Plasma on Wayland experience is significantly improved and stable enough to serve as our primary desktop platform. Though there are still some Plasma/Wayland usability issues, we look forward to futher improvement, especially with drag-and-drop between Qt and GTK applications.

Fedora 34 Upgrades Complete

Messinet Secure Services has upgraded from Fedora 33 to Fedora 34 and we’re no longer building Fedora 33 RPMs in our Fedora Linux RPM Repository. Please check out our builds in the Copr Fedora community build service.

Once again, the upgrades were completed successfully with the DNF system-upgrade plugin and we wish to thank the developers for this option, as it has streamlined the upgrade process.

We’re also trying out KDE/Plasma with Wayland and while there are some usability issues, it’s a significant step forward.

Fedora 32 Upgrades Complete

Messinet Secure Services has upgraded from Fedora 31 to Fedora 32 and we’re no longer building Fedora 31 RPMs in our Fedora Linux RPM Repository. Please check out our builds in the Copr Fedora community build service.

With the exception of our container runtimes, the upgrades were completed successfully with the DNF system-upgrade plugin and we wish to thank the developers for this option, as it has greatly simplified the upgrade process.
