What's New in Fedora 38

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2023

Fedora 38 is just around the corner. You can expect updated applications, refreshed desktop environments including a step up to GNOME 44, and two new desktop environment options. One of these is Budgie, and the other is a tiling window manager called Sway.

Fedora Linux has always placed stability at the core of everything they do. Fedora 37 was delayed several times until they were happy it was ready to be shipped. Fedora isn’t a Linux distribution for those who want to live on the cutting edge. It’s a distribution for those who need reliability, and expect their computer and applications to work every time they turn it on.
