Fedora 19 "Schrödinger's Cat" has been released today, featuring the latest stable GNOME 3.8, a new initial setup and other interesting changes.

New initial setup

The latest Fedora 19 includes a new initial setup (which was supposed to be introduced with Fedora 18, but was delayed) which allows users to perform some basic actions the first time they boot into Fedora. Users can select the language, keyboard layout, add cloud services and, if no user has been created during the installation process, a new user can easily be created from this initial setup:

After the initial setup completes, an animation displaying some GNOME Shell basic usage is displayed in full-screen
