Phoronix: Fedora 26 Beta Has Been Delayed

Fedora is continuing in their common release theme of delays.....

The gnome-shell (Wayland version) used in Fedora 26 is rather crash-happy. But it also seems to be much faster than the version used in Fedora 25. So far I've just been putting up with it on my laptop.

I upgraded my home server to Fedora 26 this morning. It upgraded OK but I noticed that the GUI is completely frozen up on the little round Fedora logo. Luckily as a server it doesn't need a GUI. I just have one installed because I occasionally log into it and use it.

So this is definitely something that they should fix.

Personally, I don't care much about these delays as long as the final image is stable enough to be installed and used daily. Fedora is already updating many important components (at least in my case kernel, firefox, mesa, etc) so I'm not gonna miss much waiting one more month.

Gotta love Fedora for focusing on quality over meeting a hard set deadline. I switched from Arch to Fedora around the time of Fedora 19 and have never looked back.

Fedora delay is not a news. News are fedora releasing in time.

x2, product quality is far more important than meeting an arbitrary release schedule. If it doesn't work as advertised, it's not usable. I've been very happy with F25 MATE spin and will continue to use it. Like you said, F25 has been kept up to date with a lot of major stuff, so I'm in no rush for a new version.

As always, I'll wait 3 months before upgrade anyway.

Oh yeah? I don't consider a Fedora release truly stable until it reaches end-of-life.
Only then can it have achieve full maturity.
I'm installing Fedora 23 right now. Looking forward to the new features in Gnome 3.18, and finally able to use Python3 by default.
