Aside from being based on Fedora 39 now, KDE is now the official desktop environment replacing GNOME. The reasons why are in the article.
The GNOME version of Nobara still exists, but it’s going to be the vanilla version shipped without any extensions (probably because many of them broke after moving to Fedora 39)
If I have 38 Gnome, do I have to completely re-install the os or is there a “upgrade” option or something?
You can upgrade, but it’s not automatic: https://nobaraproject.org/docs/upgrade-troubleshooting/how-do-i-upgrade-to-a-new-nobara-version/
Scroll down for 38 to 39.
I really hope they work on that upgrade processes so you can just do it with a simple yes click from the updater by the time 40 comes out.
