     * Several compatibility libraries were dropped. These were libraries to run programs built with very old versions of the GNU compilers (gcc 3.3, 3.4 and 4.1). If you still have binaries from > 10 years ago, recompiling might be advisable.     * Several compatibility libraries were dropped.

   * The Gnome desktop will not run on computers without hardware accellerated graphics. If you want Gnome on these machines, choose "Gnome X11" or "Gnome fallback" from the menu on the login screen.   * The Gnome desktop will not run on computers without hardware accellerated graphics.

   * VNC issues: Desktop environments that require hardware accelleration (3D desktop effects) are too heavy to be used inside a virtual desktop (VNC, X2GO). See [[VNC desktop issues]] for details and workarounds.   * VNC issues: Desktop environments that require hardware accelleration (3D desktop effects) are too heavy to be used inside a virtual desktop (VNC, X2GO).

   * TeX package ''psfig'', which has been obsolete for a long time, has now almost completely stopped working. Converting documents to newer packages such as ''graphics'' or ''graphicx'' is recommended, and is usually easy.   * TeX package ''psfig'', which has been obsolete for a long time, has now almost completely stopped working.

-  * <del>Solved: the current version of Python package [[tensorflow]] seems to work fine now with any version of python 3, making installation much easier</del> 
   * Gnome doesn't display //notification area// aka //system tray// icons any more by default. The fix is, to enable  the ''topicons plus'' extension: open ''gnome-tweaks'', and go to ''extensions'' to do that. After that, the icons such as status icons of dropbox, skype etc, will be in your top panel.   * Gnome doesn't display //notification area// aka //system tray// icons any more by default.

-  * Applications using the "pango" text rendering engine (including Gnome, Cinnamon and MATE desktops) will no longer support bitmap fonts. If an application looks strange, you may have to select a different font for it (seen on terminal emulators, emacs with non-standard settings, possibly other applications)+  * Applications using the "pango" text rendering engine (including Gnome, Cinnamon and MATE desktops) will no longer support bitmap fonts.

   * Mono (.NET compatible framework) has been updated to version 5. This may require rebuilding Mono apps.   * Mono (.NET compatible framework) has been updated to version 5. This may require rebuilding Mono apps.
-  * <del>Bleachbit (file cleaner) works, but seems to display wrong icons: the "search" icon is grayed out, but is available for clicking, and the "clean" icon to start cleaning, shows as a grayed out x, so might be mistaken for an abort icon. The help text shown when the mouse is over the icon, shows the right description for each task.</del> (fixed in update) 
-  * <del>Solved: Quota reporting is currently not working (solved as long as users use supplied alias)</del> 
-  * hdfview fails some(?) files. [[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1771888|Known bug]] unfortunately no known solution yet.\\ there are many other programs available that can work with HDF5 files, e.g. ''R'', ''vitables'' or ''veusz'' 
   * The ''clipit'' clipboard app that is a default part of Gnome, Cinnamon and MATE desktops, sometimes hangs, which blocks all cut, copy and paste actions. Exit the app by right-clicking on the icon (which looks like a clipboard), and choose the quit action. If this happens a lot to you, you might want to disable the app in your startup applications preferences.   * The ''clipit'' clipboard app that is a default part of Gnome, Cinnamon and MATE desktops, sometimes hangs, which blocks all cut, copy and paste actions.
