From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Okay, so basically they updated Gnome, added some cool extensions and called it a day? Is there more to it than this that I am missing cuz this announcement is mainly just Gnome apps that have been updated to 43

At least it's a bit more full-featured than Fedora 39, where they just updated to Gnome 45 and called it a day, and KDE users didn't even get anything new at all.

and KDE users didn’t even get anything new at all.

This is misinformation.

KDE users got a broken Nvidia driver.
