All Linux distros keep publishing new versions: Fedora, Mint, Debian
Yet strangely, I don’t actually notice any change. I’m just a normie user. It seems only computer nerds understand why the new versions are game changers.
Apart from “increased security”, what is actually the point of these releases?
There have been a few changes I’ve noticed: one of them is scrolling on the dock works again; some GUI changes with GNOME; and I think most of the other stuff is back-end work. IIRC they’re migrating most of the code base to rust for better stability.
I’m not sure who’s calling them game changers… maybe people that rely on clicks/viewer counts for income.
