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.

So, Fedora 40 is out, any guess as to when we can expect Nobara 40? (lemmy.ml)

Pretty much the title. I'm not a regular on Discord and the website doesn't have any info about a release plan.

Never heard about this. They're website is awesome, they have a extensive list of changes they made. Don't agree with removing SELinux though. It stops enough security issues and it doesn't seem good to have such a change while likely (didn't check) rely on Fedora for package updates.

Kind of wonder how old certain changes are, e.g. Fedora did change the vm.max_map_count.

Edit: forgot to say that I do like it. I like opinionated software/projects even if I might not use it myself.
