If Fedora 40 had a headlining change, it might be @kde Plasma 6. The KDE SIG have brought over all the hard work from that community to give you a solid desktop experience from day 1.
We're also pushing technology forward by making this release Wayland-only, though X11 apps will still work!
Plasma 6 is also available for our Kinoite users. 
Give the Fedora KDE 40 spin a try today!

Disappointed to learn Cohost has been started by people from the fediverse. You know what the fediverse is but you learned the wrong lessons from it. Yes, I also think some servers are not operated professionally and blocks often get misused, but that is not a reason to replace a free and open system with a locked down one. I wrote on why decentralization matters back in 2018:

Happy to share the latest manuscript from our lab, in which we propose that eukaryotes evolved from a genomic chimera of Asgard archaea and giant viruses.
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20…
This is a controversial topic, but we believe we have strong evidence to suggest a critical viral role in eukaryogenesis.

Chimeric Origin of Eukaryotes from Asgard Archaea and Ancestral Giant Viruses
The details surrounding the evolution of complex cells remain some of the most enduring mysteries in biology.bioRxiv
As bizarre as this all sounds, I believe we have strong phylogenetic evidence supporting this model. Importantly, this model has also been proposed before by Phil Bell based on first principles or eukaryotic organization and similarities between the nucleus and virus factories formed by viruses during infection
