Fedora developers have announced the release of Fedora 38. The new version comes with the GNOME 44 desktop in the Workstation version of the project.
Distribution now introduces shorter timeout delays when terminating services, which makes it faster to shut down or restart the system.
DNF5 package manager comes as preview of the new technology and users are invited to test it and report their experiences.
“Fedora Workstation focuses on the desktop experience. As usual, Fedora Workstation comes with the latest version of GNOME. GNOME 44 includes many great improvements, such as a new lock screen, a 'background apps' section in the quick menu and improvements to accessibility settings.
In addition, enabling third-party repositories allows the projection applications on Flathub.
With this release, we have shortened the default timeout when terminating services. This will help your system shut down faster – important when you need to grab your laptop and leave.
Fedora Spins and Labs are aimed at different audiences and different use cases. Fedora Comp Neuro, provides neuroscience tools, and working environments such as Fedora LXQt, provide a very lightweight operating system.
Don't forget the alternative architectures: ARM AArch64, Power and S390x.”
