Fedora 45 is here, and it ships with GNOME 51. In this review, I go over what’s new, how GNOME 51 makes the desktop feel more refined, and why Fedora is still one of the best places to experience GNOME the way it was meant to be. But I’ll be honest: Fedora 45 is a fairly boring release. Ubuntu has a clear advantage this cycle, and I’ll explain why. If you’re thinking about upgrading or trying Fedora for the first time, this one’s for you.
