A release candidate for the upcoming Fedora Linux 38 beta release is now available for testing. Linux Kernel 6.2 and GNOME 44 Beta are just two of the fresh updates included in Fedora 38.

An important update from Adam Williamson of the Fedora QA team:

Important note: please don't bother testing this compose. For some reason, none of the 'override' builds (the ones from updates-testing which we list in the compose request ticket) actually got pulled into the compose, so it's effectively just a nightly.

We'll work out why this happened and get a proper candidate done ASAP. Sorry for the noise.
