Bluefin LTS released

Description:
The Universal Blue project has announced the release of BluefinLTS ,
an image-based distribution similar to Bluefin that uses
CentOSStream10 and EPEL instead of Fedora as its base: Bluefin LTS ships with 
Linux 6.12.0, which is the kernel for the
lifetime of release. An optional hwe branch with new kernels is
available, offering the same modern kernel you'll find in Bluefin and
Bluefin GTS. Both vanilla and HWE ISOs are available, and you can
always choose to switch back and forth after installation. [...] Bluefin LTS 
provides a backported GNOME desktop so that you are not
left behind. This is an important thing for us. James has been
diligently working on GNOME backports with the upstream CentOS
community, and we feel bringing modern GNOME desktops to an LTS makes
sense.
