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.

Sadly, DNF5 and the new Anaconda installer didn't make it to the party, in case you were wondering.

Had the Gnome/Workstation variant beta installed on my laptop for a while with zero issues. Looking forward to updating my desktop too.

Next update should be massive. DNF5 to come, the new installer, loads of the Sovereign Tech Fund improvements to things like accessibility, security, the display stack, etc.

I looked at the agreed changes for 41 but couldn't see any accessibility. Do you know what changes are coming?

They often talk about accessibility plans and changes on Planet GNOME. No idea what is coming though.
