This is the best summary I could come up with:
While delayed by several weeks compared to their initial release goals, today marks the availability of Fedora 39 as a wonderful upgrade to this popular Linux distribution.
Fedora Workstation 39 makes use of the GNOME 45 desktop for having all of the latest open-source desktop capabilities, the LibreOffice 7.6 office suite, LLVM 17 compiler stack available, and many other updated packages available.
Fedora 39 is shipping with the Linux 6.5 kernel although newer versions will come down as stable release updates.
Fedora 39 also has various toolchain upgrades such as GCC 13.2 with GNU Binutils 2.40, Glibc 2.38, and other updates.
I’ve also been running Fedora Workstation 39 on my main production system already: the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 with AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U.
I’ll be delivering some additional Fedora 39 Linux benchmarks in the coming days on Phoronix.

This is a great release, GNOME 45 is looking really nice.

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
Now I understand why some people in the comments from other platform said “Fedora is the new Ubuntu”; in popular perspective today! Loud applause to the Fedora Dev team! Respect.
We really need to all stop promoting Fedora especially after what Red Hat did to the Community with CentOS and closing the code off from downstream.
Fedora is Red Hat in disguise.
Same goes for Canonical. They’ve decided to screw the Community and try force things on users, Communist style, so they can f right off too!
We should all only use 100% Community based distros and projects because they need our support and break their backs working for the Community.
For example Linux Mint, Debian, Arch, Slackware and others.
If you use Mint like I do, switch to Debian Edition and let the developers know that’s where you prefer that focus first and then do the Ubuntu edition afterwards 👍
Fedora is community based and “independent” from RedHat.
In the past, they often actively decided against RHs interests and will continue doing that in the future.
Independend in " because RH puts lots of dev power and $ into the Fedora Project, and loosing that would hurt.It’s a symbiotic relationship: RH provides money and developers, while we as users test for new technologies that will get used for RHEL in the future.
The increased ressources provides us with more (also financial) security. Still, if RH somehow decides to abandon Fedora, it will still continue to live on, see Project uBlue as example.
Also, calling everything you dislike “communist” is just dumb, there are way better words for that… Either, you use communism in the terms of “totalitarian government” like Stalin was, which is just… unfitting (Holodomor, etc.); or you don’t get that promoting community based distros is more socialist than you realize.
Just say “I don’t like stuff forced on me from corporations like Canonical” and don’t use Ubuntu and thereof. Nobody hinders you in using what you want, and that’s great!
People have absolutely lost their damn minds over the RH thing lol
But you don’t understand - I have reputable sources telling me that Linux is communism!
How the hell is a for profit company communist. The idiocy of this world never fails to amaze me
If anything the problem seems to be that it’s not communist enough.
