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.

Lots of nice little tweaks, but nothing major unless the lack of explicit sync was causing issues for you
But then again I guess that's the point of a point release.
I'm very much looking forward to 47/48, where the bulk of the Sovereign Tech Fund's contributions will come to fruition. It'll also happen to line up nicely with Fedora moving to DNF5 and away from their current god-awful installer.
Late 2024 and early 2025 will be a good time. And not just for Gnome either, much of the accessibility stack Gnome is working on is cross-desktop, and we'll all benefit from it. Linux is about to get a whole lot better for people with accessibility requirements.
Just a heads up: if you're used to something superfast like pacman or xbps, even dnf5 can't compare to them, at least in my experience. Still miles ahead of regular dnf, and I'd even recommend dnf5 for OpenSUSE users too.
I didn't know that. This is wonderful news!!!
