In my life? As far as I can tell absolutely nothing. It seems like Fedora 
41 gets a new kernel every week or so. Most of the time I don't bother to 
reboot so I skip a few minor numbers. It's on a box with a 4th gen Intel 
processor with integrated video so it's not like there are life changing 
improvements.
