Fedora Linux 38 Unwrapped | Fedora Podcast Ep. 24

A new Fedora Linux release is always worth celebrating, and Fedora 38 shipped with GNOME 44, security improvements, and more. In this episode I sat down with Matthew Miller, the Fedora Project Leader, to unwrap what’s new in 38 and get into how the whole thing actually comes together. It’s also my proper introduction as one of the new hosts of the show.

A few things worth carrying away from the conversation:

• Fedora 38 is more than a GNOME 44 bump. Matthew walked me through the under-the-hood changes alongside the desktop refresh, so the release feels like real progress rather than a version-number tick.
• The release cadence is a feature, not an accident. We got into why Fedora’s twice-a-year rhythm exists and how it keeps the distro fresh without turning every upgrade into a gamble.
• New spins keep widening who Fedora is for. Matthew and I talked through the expanding lineup of spins, which is a reminder that “Fedora” is really a family of experiences, not one fixed desktop.

If you upgraded to 38 or you’re just Fedora-curious, this one’s a good listen.
