Linux - Red Hat family in 2024
Lot's has changed since my last articles about Red Hat, CentOS, Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux. This is not your typical "Rocky vs. Alma" article. Instead, I want to give my take on how the "family tree" looks like today and how things are going.

Release - Fedora Linux 39

Right after the release of the Raspberry Pi 5, we are getting a new Raspberry Pi OS, based on Debian Bookworm. It features some pretty interesting changes on the Desktop, but also got nice features for the Lite variant.
