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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) on Monday approved some last-minute features ahead of the Fedora Linux 40 release quickly coming up in February.

A new tool for Fedora IoT called "Simplified Provisioning" that makes it easier to deploy and configure the Fedora Internet of Things (IoT) edition.
Fedora IoT will now be built using the RPM-OSTree unified core.
As for the recent debate around Fedora 40 dropping KDE X11 by default, FESCo has offered their latest guidance.

At the meeting they decided that KDE packages may reintroduce support for X11 are allowed in the main Fedora repositories but that they must not be included by default for any release-blocking deliverables like the ISO/image, etc.

More details on this week's FESco rulings can be found via the Fedora mailing list.
