I'm reusing my Pixel 7 with Graphene OS using a secondary SIM.
It's truly excellent work; it works wonderfully, and the phone is noticeably more responsive compared to Google's Android.
I suggest everyone with a compatible Pixel device to give it a try; I don't think you'll go back.
I'm sticking with Fedora Silverblue for now.
I upgraded to version 40. Everything is very solid. I love not having to worry about updates. They happen in the background and are applied during reboots.
During this cycle, I'm leaning into Toolbx. If I need GUI apps for coding, I will start them in a Toolbox.
First amateur "pro" tip: In your Toolbx/Distrobox, add Vim so you can use your .vimrc.

👑 Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit (Coronas y peones: el reino del engaño) me está gustando.
Se trata de un juego (una aventura gráfica) que funciona sin problemas en #linux y que está traducido también a Spanish (no doblado).
De momento me está gustando lo poco que lo he jugado. Ando ahora teniendo que disfrazarme de mascota.
Me gusta como está creado y el inicio. Antes de elegir ropa y peinado y tal tienes que elegir una profesión. Depende de lo elegido tu cuarto aparece diferente.

If Fedora 40 had a headlining change, it might be @kde Plasma 6. The KDE SIG have brought over all the hard work from that community to give you a solid desktop experience from day 1.
We're also pushing technology forward by making this release Wayland-only, though X11 apps will still work!
Plasma 6 is also available for our Kinoite users. 
Give the Fedora KDE 40 spin a try today!

We are proud of the stable reputation that Fedora Workstation has built over the years. We hope to add to that with Fedora Workstation 40!
Workstation brings @gnome 46 to users with tweaks to the Settings and Files apps. You can now use Remote Login to connect to a computer even if it doesn't have an active session.

Fedora IoT 40 got some cool under-the-hood changes. 
First is that Fedora IoT now uses the unified core model, making them the last rpm-ostree variant to make the switch.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Fedora_IoT_Unified_Core
Second is that Fedora IoT will be the first rpm-ostree variant to be a bootable container image. You will literally be swapping to newer and newer container images when you update, which really emphasizes the idea of atomicity.

I have an HP Envy laptop from 2017. It came with an HD screen, a 7th Gen Intel Core i7 and 16 GB of RAM.
The modifications I've made: Remove 1 GB HDD and replace with Samsung 1 GB NVMe (there was an empty slot for it) and SanDisk 1 GB SATA SSD.
It runs Fedora Silverblue 40 on the NVMe and OpenBSD 7.5 on the SATA SSD.
Other then the rubber pieces on the bottom completely failing (replaced with those clear plastic sticky dots you get at the hardware store), this 7-year-old laptop is running perfectly well.
I don't travel with it, but I don't baby it, either.

This morning, a colleague (a sysadmin who works exclusively on Red Hat) needed to quickly create a VM for a reverse proxy. Among the requirements:
Minimal, only for nginx
Root file system on btrfs (I don't know why, but it's their internal policy)
Be online ASAP
I swiftly installed Alpine Linux for them. With just two commands, I set up the root on btrfs and got the setup running. Within a minute, the VM was up; in ten seconds, nginx was installed, and within two minutes, it was configured.
They were amazed by the speed and lightness of it all, as well as the updated kernel.
Alpine Linux remains, in my opinion, an excellent and flexible solution in the Linux environment.

I have been having some screen-artifact issues in the GNOME Text Editor in Fedora Silverblue 39. They have persisted into Silverblue 40.
I looked at the package, and I had the text editor via the Fedora Flatpak. I removed and replaced it with the Flathub Flatpak, and now the screen issues are gone.

Use a GPG smartcard with Thunderbird. Part 1: setup GnuPG
I moved to a Thinkpad w541 with coreboot so I needed to set up my email encryption on Thunderbird again.
It took me more time to reconfigure it again - as usual - so I decided to take notes this time and create a blog post about it. As this might be useful for somebody else … or me in the future :-)

Forget Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, what you really want to download this month is Fedora Silverblue 40 | Neowin
https://www.neowin.net/editorials/forget-ubuntu-2404-lts-what-you-really-want-to-download-this-month-is-fedora-silverblue-40/
I did the Fedora Silverblue upgrade from 39 to 40 with rpm-ostree rebase in the terminal.
The download took 15 minutes and was 1.4 GB.
Total time from start to reboot was 18 minutes, 30 seconds.
I rebooted into Fedora Silverblue 40 with no issues.
That's an easy upgrade.
Best new features I've noticed in the first 30 minutes:
- Improved search in Nautilus/Files (I was tipped to that one)
- GNOME notifications now say how long ago they were sent
