The Fedora team have announced the release of Fedora 38. The new release offers the GNOME 44 desktop in the project's Workstation edition. The distribution now features shorter timeout delays when services shutdown, which makes shutting down or restarting the system faster. The DNF5 package manager has been introduced as a technology preview and users are invited to try it out and report on their experiences. "Fedora Workstation focuses on the desktop experience. As usual, Fedora Workstation features the latest GNOME release. GNOME 44 includes a lot of great improvements, including a new lock screen, a 'background apps' section on the quick menu, and improvements to accessibility settings. In addition, enabling third-party repositories now enables an unfiltered view of applications on Flathub. With this release, we've shortened the default timeout when services shut down. This helps your system power off faster - important when you need to grab your laptop and go. Of course, we produce more than just the Editions. Fedora Spins and Labs target a variety of audiences and use cases, including Fedora Comp Neuro, which provides tools for computational neuroscience, and desktop environments like Fedora LXQt, which provides a lightweight desktop environment. And, don't forget our alternate architectures: ARM AArch64, Power, and S390x."

"Ubuntu MATE 23.04 is the least exciting Ubuntu MATE release ever. The good news is, if you liked Ubuntu MATE 22.10 then it is more of the same; just with better artwork! I entered this development cycle full of energy and enthusiasm off the back of the Ubuntu Summit in Prague, but then I was seriously ill and had a long stay in hospital. I'm recovering well and should be 100% in a couple of months. This setback and also changing jobs a few months ago has meant that I've not been able to invest the usual time and effort into Ubuntu MATE. I'm happy to say that I've been able to deliver another solid release with the help of the Ubuntu community. What changed since the Ubuntu MATE 22.10? Both MATE Desktop and Ayatana Indicators have seen some version bumps that fix an assortment of minor bugs; Flatpak is no longer installed by default, but can still be installed should you want to use it...."
