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 a great release

As KDE F38 user, this is a super boring release. Nothing noteworthy for us to look forward to except LibreOffice 7.6 - which you can get via Flatpak anyways. 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).

I thought dnf 5 wont come with fedora 40 because that coincides with the next RHEL release so they want both of them to ship the stable and tested dnf version.

edit - FedoraProject confirming that F41 is the target for dnf5
