Same, except for a few SELinux alerts that started popping up with the beta, mainly related to Wine/Proton (fixfiles didn't help). They don't break anything though, just warnings.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
After not being ready in time for this week's early release target date, it's now been determined today that Fedora 40 is ready for release next week.
At today's Go/No-Go meeting, it was determined that Fedora Linux 40 Final RC1.14 meets all the release criteria with no blocker bugs remaining and thus declared a "GO" for release next week.
Fedora 40 thus will see its official release happen next Tuesday, 23 April.
Fedora Linux 40 features the GNOME 46 desktop components, the shiny new KDE Plasma 6.0 desktop will be available, the Linux 6.8 kernel is powering this beast, and a plethora of software package updates like LLVM 18 along with various exciting features.
Meanwhile set for release next Thursday, 25 April, is the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS release.
A busy week ahead for Linux distributions and more Phoronix benchmarks to come.

Of course it wasn't going to be released on the first target release date! It's Fedora, it's basically tradition at this point.
I'm so close to install Fedora. But last time, too much small fix needed make me revert to W11 with AtlasOS.
Mind elaborating? We can probably help you out :)
My first two concerns are: -I can't find any software that can manage my NZXT 240 correctly I found Cooler Control which depends on liquidctl But there's an open ticket that won't be solved right away. -I have a problem with Falthub, I have the Fedora dependences but it's not up to date compared to what you can find on Github. -Gwenview or Gthumb don't want to play my videos.
And I have other worries but for the moment that's all I have in mind
I always avoided OS-level cooler control software even under Windows and just set up fan curves and pump speed in the BIOS/UEFI. Is that an option for you? Or are you referring to more advanced things such as a display on the CPU block or whatever? Not sure if that's a dealbreaker for you, but if not you could simply switch now and install the software you mentioned once someone worked on that issue.
For Flatpak, did you add the flathub.org source? Fedora's own Flatpak repository can lag behind a bit. Otherwise it's up to the maintainer of the software (or sometimes unofficial maintainers) to update the Flatpak. I haven't found that many apps lag behind though. You can always check if they have a more up-to-date AppImage or rpm (or even just a .tar.gz that you can extract and run).
For videos I highly recommend mpv (available as a Flatpak as well). It can play pretty much anything.
