I had the font kerning issues too during testing, but they went away after a few reboots.

    It was so fast that I was surprised it was already done! ^^

    ReillyBrogan second reboot did not solve the problem here, sadly. The old "have you tried to turn it off and on again" does not seem to work here 🙂

      Try this to see if it fixes it:

      cd /usr/share/fonts/conf.d/
sudo rm 10-hinting-full.conf
sudo ln -srv /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-hinting-slight.conf 10-hinting-slight.conf
sudo fc-cache -f -s

      Then reboot.

        No issues here, guess I did not notice the font kerning issue, I don't know if it was fixed or never had it. Update went smooth, I really like GNOME 46, been back to Solus since a couple of weeks and some things are working better than they did on Fedora so I guess I'm staying.

          juampiursic Solus is certainly a good place to stay haha. Though I am curious about what things work better on here compared to Fedora in your experience.

            Just to be clear, since nobody mentioned it in this thread, the solution is to add require 'cairo_xlib' on top of the lua file (together with require 'cairo')

                On the other hand, there are still problems with conky: the refresh are not regular, it seems to freeze every few seconds, and according to the system monitor, while it's frozen it's consuming a full core of CPU.
                It's not a particular measurement that is doing this, since I split my widgets by category and all of them do it (at the same time), so it might be the rendering.

                Edit: I guess it might be this?

                  Our entire nftables stack has been updated and rebuilt this cycle. With this update, we now use nftables by default instead of the legacy xtables. This update also removes ebtables and libnetfilter_acct. Users of Docker, lxd, libvirtd and firewalld shouldn't have to do anything in response to the switch to nftables by default. Users doing things more manually may want to make a note of this, however. If you use containers or VMs, please reboot after updating, as interesting things can happen when the kernel mixes xtables and nftables firewall rules.

                  Does this change affect users/usage of ufw?

                      I continue to experience the same issue as I previously mentioned in last week's sync.

                      • for the second week running, I have very slow download speeds during sync. Around 50-200 KB/s.
                      • restarting the sync process by using Ctrl-C doesn't help.
                      • I'm not using VPN.
                      • Downloading the test eopkg file (that one with the very long filename) from the server yields about 300KB/s
                      • Downloading LibreOffice from their official website yields about 6-7 MB/s

                      Doing my weekly sync is no longer an enjoyable, quick and smooth process.

                      Appreciate any kind pointers please.

                      Thank you.

                      Yep, I don't see freezes but Conky is now hitting my cpu big time - it stays mostly on top of the CPU intensive processes and by simply scrolling, resizing or moving a window the temps jump up to mid 70s or even mid 80 degrees, while normally idling at 40. Just found this bug report too..

                        The default font hinting will be changed to "slight" instead of "full" in the next sync. It appears that full hinting is causing the perceived changes to font rendering when combined with enabling sub-pixel rendering by default. Users who desire full hinting can still do that by default if they prefer "sharp"-looking fonts at the expense of possible kerning issues.
