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.

Aside from being based on Fedora 39 now, KDE is now the official desktop environment replacing GNOME. The reasons why are in the article.

The GNOME version of Nobara still exists, but it's going to be the vanilla version shipped without any extensions (probably because many of them broke after moving to Fedora 39)

Dang. Guess I’ll be switching to Ublue Bazzite.

Which of the many bullet points in the changelog is the reason for that?

I don't like KDE and if Gnome is not going to be the main DE anymore I might just move to another distro. NBD.

Gnome isn't the main DE of bazzite either though

I see that now. It's cool I'll just dual boot Nobara KDE and Fedora Silverblue or something.
