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.

Fittingly, Fedora 39 arrives 20 years and 1 day after Fedora Core 1 was released November 6, 2003.

Time really sneaks up on you doesn't it

Everything in that article is GNOME related. Nothing is fedora 39 or linux 6.5 related

I’m pretty sure Fedora Core 4 was my first Linux daily driver. I love distro hopping but I always end up back on Fedora when I have a big project to work on and I just want vanilla Gnome, my developer tools, and no surprises.

Meh. As a KDE F38 user, this is a super boring release. Nothing really new for us to look forward to, except LibreOffice 7.6 (which you can get via Flatpak). I was hoping the new DNF 5 would make the cut, but guess it's still not ready yet. :(

Guess will have to hold out my excitement until F40 for Plasma 6 and DNF 5 (hopefully).

Wasn't fedora 38 already on linux 6.5. Why is that touted as feature of fedora 39¿?
