I think they mean that GNOME contributors can use it to debug and test features. If you want to evaluate it, you can probably best try out a distribution (e.g. Ubuntu if you want to go with popular, or Fedora if you want to get closer to the way GNOME intended it) that ships it.
- Kwpolska 4y agoLinux distros ship heavily modified versions of desktop environments, especially Ubuntu. Linux distros also typically do not ship the latest version on release day.
- Vinnl 4y agoIf you're merely contemplating whether to switch to Linux in the first place, I wouldn't worry about the latest version of Gnome - they're released every six months, so these changes probably aren't going to be the decisive factor in whether or not to switch. I'd recommend Ubuntu if you don't really know much about Linux yet, simply because it's the most popular. It sounds like you do actually already know more and are interested in Gnome specifically, in which Fedora really doesn't modify it all that much. If you really want to try the newest Gnome release in particular, then waiting a month or so should give you a Fedora release that ships it.
