All;
I am currently running Fedora 36 on my Dell XPS 17, I am considering a new install based upgrade to Fedora 37, but I see that Fedora 38 is due out in April. Interested in your thoughts, would you install Fedora 37 now or just wait for Fedora 38?
Thanks in advance

Is there a reason you wouldn't just do a system upgrade to newer Fedora versions?

Rebase to 37 and then rebase to 38 when ir comes up.

I install each version as it comes out. Others wait for the next but one. Just don't wait any longer than that.

One thing to note is that I've been experiencing an issue with crashes of the kwin_x11 after receiving a number of notifications.

I think it's a bit strange to use Fedora and not upgrade within a couple weeks/months of a new release coming out. It sort of defeats the point of using Fedora?
Anyway. I've been using Fedora 37 (KDE Wayland) on my XPS 13 9370 and desktop for a few weeks now and everything works great! :)
I've been using Fedora since the old Fedora Core days. My current desktop machine was purchased in 2016 and I installed Fedora 24 on it. KDE is my desktop of choice. Since then I've upgraded with dnf system-upgrade. I watch the fedora users mailing list to make sure there are no big gotchas. But really, for a while now, the upgrades have been uneventful. The folks preparing the upgrades are doing a tremendous job.
Besides being my everyday desktop, I run an apache webserver for my genealogy research, use fetchmail to gather email from several gmail accounts and my ISPs email account then use dovecot as my IMAP server and serve that out to thunderbird on my desktop and K9Mail on my phone and chromebook. I use samba to share out some file systems to my Windows machine (it has Quicken to track my family finances) plus I back the windows system to one of those shares (plus some external USB drives). Then on the Fedora system I use rsync to an external drive to back up everything plus I use borgbackup to back it up to a second external drive. Even with all this, the upgrades just work.

Awesome setup. What features in Quicken are most useful that are not in open source financial applications that could be or are packaged for Fedora?

I track my retirement and other investments, bank accounts, charge cards. Use the tax planning feature and consult with my financial guy to make sure I'm ok. I've got probably 2 decades+ of data in there. I've looked at apps like gnucash, kmymoney and a couple of others I found. There was no way to easily transfer all that data. I tried it one account at a time but I couldn't make it work. I'd have to start from scratch. So for now I'll keep using Quicken under Windows.

Have you tried HomeBank (http://homebank.free.fr/en/)? It's a bit simple compared to Quicken, but it supports all of the Quicken features I had personally used. I managed to convert my Quicken data a few years ago, and I haven't looked back. The one big thing that it doesn't support is direct downloads from banks, but in my experience, that never worked correctly with Quicken anyway (things would time out, require disabling 2FA, somehow miss transactions or even duplicate them, etc) but it can easily import QFX/"Web Connect" and OFX files and most banks support those formats.
Anyway, I hope this is useful to someone.
