Stephen Smoogen: Note To Future Self: Lenovo Laptop USB-C Mini Dock Reset

Fedora Magazine: Changes to the ELN kernel RPM NVR
Red Hat is excited to announce significant changes to ELN kernel RPM NVR in the kernel-ark project. This change will be to limited to the kernel-ark ELN RPMs and does not impact Fedora. If you don’t use Fedora ELN builds you can likely stop reading as this change won’t affect you.

The kernel-ark project is an upstream kernel-based repository from which the Fedora kernel RPMs are built (contributions welcomed!). This project is also used by the Centos Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) maintainers to implement, test, and verify code that is destined to be used in Centos Stream and RHEL. In other words, the kernel-ark repository contains code that is enabled to build several different kernels which may contain unique code for different use cases. The kernel RPMs used for CentOS Stream and RHEL are commonly referred to as the ‘ELN’ (Enterprise Linux Next) RPMs.
