Fedora Linux 39 To Be Released On Tuesday

[virr]

Please excuse me, but there is no release version of Fedora that cannot be delayed for a decade? I was using Linux for whole that time, but I can't find any version without delay

I really don't understand what it is with this obsession about "delays"... I mean the Fedora Project sets a date to release but at the same time they want to make sure a new release is usable for the most important workflows they identified. This is especially important for bugs in the installer because a non-functional installer means user can not install the fixes later on. Ok, that often means a delay of a few weeks. But so what?

On the one hand people complain if software ships with obvious bugs, on the other hand they want all the features now. To me that is an impossible request and really shows the lack of understand how open source projects work: In the end a lot of people are putting in some of their free time (that is true even for many RedHat employees) to provide something useful and then some random dude on the internet is annoyed by a 2 week delay.

The only thing that still gives me hope here is that most people are not like that and I got plenty of positive feedback for my open source contributions but please stop paying attention to "delays in Fedora releases". Probably Michael should just stop posting about the delays at all - just mention when the final release is out.

Not excused. Current version was released ahead of schedule. You don't even try to "find" it.

Didn't they decide to phase out the LibreOffice package with Fedora 39?

I thought so too.

DNF on speed with pacman yet?

Wow, haven't used Fedora since Fedora Core 4. Is dnf the new yum?

Fedora 38 was not delayed. It hit the earliest target date for Beta and Final.

We'd like to do that every time, but hey, stuff happens. Sometimes there are just a lot of bugs.

Dnf 5 isn't installed by default. ... Red Hat developers are no longer packaging it

Another disappointing move from Fedora. Fedora (and Red Hat) seems to be firmly on the downward spiral this year. One bad news after another.

When was Fedora Core 4 released? Like in 2005?

When was Fedora Core 4 released? Like in 2005?

Quick Google says March 2006. Been a long time since my Red Hat adventure days.
