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.

Nice. I've been running the Fedora Workstation 40 beta for weeks now and not had a single issue. It's impressive how stable Fedora is, even on the beta in my experience, despite using pretty up to date packages.
Aside from the god-awful installer (which they're replacing), and the ball ache of installing media codecs, it's an amazing distro.
lol, it's not that bad is it? I have installed fedora on 2 of our machine without a single issue 😂
It's not bad as in it breaks, it's just extremely clunky, poorly laid out, and unintuitive. People have complained about it for years. It's due to be replaced next release, though
When are they replacing it?
Last I heard, 41?
Yep, 41 unless something else happens: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AnacondaWebUIforFedoraWorkstation#Current_status Not sure about the atomic desktops, though. F41 is also getting DNF5, so it’ll definitely be a cool release.
Ah cool. That's the release I've been looking forward too.
I've had a bunch of unprecedented problems with 39, I think this time I'll do a clean install
