Fedora 29 released

[Posted October 30, 2018 by corbet]

The Fedora 29 release is available. "This release is particularly exciting because it’s the first to include the Fedora Modularity feature across all our different variants. Modularity lets us ship different versions of packages on the same Fedora base. This means you no longer need to make your whole OS upgrade decisions based on individual package versions."

Hope down the road, the IBM purchase will not impact Fedora.

I hope it impacts positively, and IBM becomes fully open source company, in a decade or so.

There's absolutely no chance of that ever happening. IBM still uses the Broadcom/Intel model of selling DRM-locked hardware and aftermarket indulgences to unlock its full capacity.

As I understand it, IBM was the original *inventor* of that model.

You're thinking of Amdahl.
