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.

Wow, up until now I had only seen all these changes in separate posts (the change to the activities button, some compositor changes, a few tweaks to Gnome Files/Nautilus, cursor tweaks, tweaks to Gnome Software, exposing a few more settings, making loupe the default image viewer, and a bunch of other changes) and I thought Gnome 45 was going to be a very small release. None of those changes seem major.
But now I see all of them listed together, I'm a lot more enthusiastic. This all adds up to a pretty good release.
