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:
Plans were drafted in September to offer KDE Plasma 6 in Fedora 40.
All of these releases should take place at the end of February to inaugurate the Plasma 6.0 desktop.
Fedora 40 meanwhile should be out by the end of April and the Fedora KDE spin or those otherwise manually installing the KDE desktop will thus be able to enjoy the fresh Plasma 6 experience.
Well, the FESCo members have signed off on the Plasma 6.0 plan and the X11 support removal is still included.
FESCo members voted in this ticket to approve the Plasma 6.0 change proposal for Fedora 40.
Separately being pursued as well for Fedora 40 is removing the GNOME X11 session support.
