Fedora 30 Linux Distro Is Here

'Fedora 30, the newest release of the venerable Linux distribution
that serves (in part) as the staging environment for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, was released Tuesday, bringing with it a number of
improvements and performance optimizations. From a report:

The most exciting aspect, for workstation/desktop users at least, is
the update to GNOME 3.32. Of course, that is hardly the only notable
update -- the DNF package manager is getting a performance boost, for
instance. In other words, this is a significant operating system
upgrade that should delight both existing Fedora users and beginners
alike. "Fedora 30 brings enhancements to all editions with updates to
the common underlying packages, from bug fixes and performance tweaks
to new versions. In Fedora 30, base updates include Bash shell 5.0,
Fish 3.0, the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 9 and Ruby 2.6. Fedora 30
also now uses the zchunk format for data compression within the DNF
repository. When metadata is compressed using zchunk DNF will only
download the differences between earlier copies of metadata and the
current versions, saving on resources and increasing efficiency," says
The Fedora Project.'
