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 beta release of Fedora 39 is now available for testing ahead of its planned stable release prior to the end of October.
Fedora 39 Beta brings many updates over Fedora 38 including a faster DNF, the GNOME 45 desktop for Fedora Workstation, the LibreOffice 7.6 office suite, LLVM 17 compiler stack available, and many other updated packages available.
During my brief testing of the Fedora 39 beta so far it's been working out well.
I'll begin testing Fedora 39 on more systems and benchmarking soon.
I look forward to using Fedora 39 on my main production system when upgrading to the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen4 Phoenix laptop.
More details on the Fedora 39 Beta changes via the release announcement on FedoraMagazine.org.

What's new in Gnome 45?
All the extensions GNOME 44 users installed to make it usable are now broken.
As is tradition.
I have installed only some small extensions, but all of them are working after the update. But I have not much of them installed.
