Fedora 40 seems more interesting to me (Dropping X11, Wayland-only Plasma, DNF5)

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.

no DNF5, it is nor ready as they said.
I'm glad they decided to not ship beta-quality software to users, even if it makes for an unexciting release. I like Fedora because it's (mostly) stable.
Idk Gnome 45 is a pretty nice visual overhaul on the "exciting" front too!
Doesn't seem like there is much in the update. Am I missing something?
This title is at least more comprehensive: https://9to5linux.com/fedora-linux-39-beta-released-with-gnome-45-linux-kernel-6-5
(Gnome 45, kernel 6.5* ...)
Way better article, you're right!
The main thing is DNF5 which should speed up DNF significantly
From the post:
In some ways, this release might seem notable largely for what isn’t here. We’d planned to update the DNF package manager to a new, speedier version. We also hoped to showcase a long-awaited refresh to the user interface for Anaconda, our installation program. However, we decided these things just weren’t ready in time.
