NEW • Fedora Core 1 Review |
Rate this project
|
LinuxElectrons has published a review of the recently released Fedora Core 1: "The Linux community will benefit tremendously from Fedora. With Red Hat's expertise and knowledge combined with a strong community we should expect nothing less than a high performance desktop. So far, this has been the case. IMHO, this is the perfect strategy for Red Hat. They have been battling two extremes, the corporate server market versus the bleeding edge desktop users at retail. These two camps are at odds with one another, corporate wanting slow gradual changes and retail wanting the bleeding edge feature set. Fedora is the ultimate compromise and one community in which I'm a willing participant." The full review with many screenshots.

| About Fedora
|
| Fedora Linux (formerly Fedora, formerly Fedora Core) is a Linux distribution developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and owned by Red Hat. Fedora Linux contains software distributed under a free and open-source license and aims to be on the leading edge of such technologies. Fedora has a reputation for focusing on innovation, integrating new technologies early on and working closely with upstream Linux communities. The default desktop in Fedora Linux is the GNOME desktop environment and the default interface is the GNOME Shell. Other desktop environments, including KDE, Xfce, LXDE, MATE and Cinnamon, are available. The Fedora project also distributes custom variations of Fedora called Fedora spins. These are built with specific sets of software packages, offering alternative desktop environments or targeting specific interests such as gaming, security, design, scientific computing and robotics.

Distribution Release: Fedora 37 |
|
Matthew Miller has announced the release of Fedora 37. The latest release includes two new editions: Fedora CoreOS, which replaces Atomic Host, and Fedora Cloud returns. "Fedora Workstation focuses on the desktop experience. As usual, Fedora Workstation features the latest GNOME release. GNOME 43 includes a new device security panel in Settings, providing the user with information about the security of hardware and firmware on the system. Building on the previous release, more core GNOME apps have been ported to the latest version of the GTK toolkit, providing improved performance and a modern look. With this release, we’ve made a few changes to allow you to slim down your installation a bit. We split the language packs for the Firefox browser into subpackages. This means you can remove the 'firefox-langpacks' package if you don’t need the localization. The runtime packages for gettext - the tools that help other packages produce multilingual text - are split into a separate, optional subpackage." Additional details can be found in the release announcement and in the release notes.

Distribution Release: Fedora 36 |
|
The Fedora team have announced the release of Fedora 36. The new release offers desktop users a chance to run GNOME 42 with most applications ported to GTK 4. Fedora 36 also ships with a new version of the Ansible management software while Cockpit can now manage network shares. "Fedora Linux 36 includes the latest release of Ansible. Ansible 5 splits the 'engine' into an ansible-core package and collections packages. This makes maintenance easier and allows you to download only the collections you need. See the Ansible 5 Porting Guide to learn how to update your playbooks. Beginning in Fedora Server 36, Cockpit provides a module for provisioning and ongoing administration of NFS and Samba shares.

Development Release: Fedora 36 Beta |
|
Tomas Hrcka has announced the release of a new development snapshot of Fedora. The Fedora 36 Beta ships with GNOME 42, LXQt 1.0, and version 3.1 of the Ruby development language. Wayland support running on NVIDIA video cards has been improved and is now supported by default. "Fedora 36 Workstation Beta includes GNOME 42, the newest release of the GNOME desktop environment. GNOME 42 includes a global dark style UI setting. It also has a redesigned screenshot tool. And many core GNOME apps have been ported to the latest version of the GTK toolkit, providing improved performance and a modern look. Fedora Silverblue and Kinoite now have /var on a separate subvolume for new installs, which makes handling snapshots of dynamic data easier to manage independently from the system snapshots. Fans of the lightweight LXQt desktop environment will be glad to see the upstream 1.0 release in Fedora Linux 36. You can install the LXQt Spin directly or install LXQt alongside your existing desktop environment. If you use the proprietary NVIDIA driver, GDM sessions will now use Wayland by default." Additional information can be found in the announcement.

Distribution Release: Fedora 35 |
|
The Fedora team have announced the launch of Fedora 35. The new version of Fedora ships with GNOME 41, the PipeWire audio system, and the WirePlumber session manager. "We switched the default audio system to PipeWire in Fedora Linux 34, and now we're improving this by adding the new WirePlumber session manager. WirePlumber allows for more customization of the policy and rules for audio and video. It provides a richer development experience and adds bindings for most languages. If you enable the third-party repositories that ship in Fedora Linux desktop variants, those repositories are now immediately available. Additionally, enabling third-party repositories now makes selected Flathub applications available via a filtered Flathub remote. This eases access to a curated list of applications that will not cause legal or other problems for Fedora to point to, does not overlap Fedora Flatpaks, and works reasonably well." The release announcement offers further details. Download (pkglist): Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-35-1.2.iso (1,916MB, SHA256, torrent), Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-35-1.2.iso (2,129MB, SHA256, torrent. |

The Fedora team have announced a new development snapshot of their popular Linux distribution. Fedora 35 Beta ships with GNOME 41 with an updated software manager, and utilities to improve laptop battery life. "Fedora 35 Workstation Beta includes GNOME 41, the newest release of the GNOME desktop environment. GNOME 41 includes a redesigned Software application that makes it easier to find and install the tools you need. And now when you enable third-party repositories during installation, you’ll get access to flatpaks from Flathub to supplement the Fedora repository. Fedora 35 Workstation also includes power-profiles-daemon, which allows you to choose between optimizing for system performance or battery life. New in this release is Fedora Kinoite—a KDE Plasma environment based on rpm-ostree technology. Like Fedora Silverblue, Kinoite provides atomic updates and an immutable operating system for increased reliability. Fedora Linux 35 builds on the switch to PipeWire for managing audio by introducing WirePlumber as the default session manager. WirePlumber enables customization of rules for routing streams to and from devices." Additional information can be found in the project's release announcement.

Distribution Release: Fedora 34 |
|
Matthew Miller has announced the release of Fedora 34, the latest version of the popular Linux distribution sponsored by Red Hat: "I'm excited to share the results of the hard work of thousands of contributors to the Fedora Project: our latest release, Fedora Linux 34, is here." As usual, Fedora ships in several editions and spins, available for the x86_64 and AArch64 architectures. The "Workstation" variant now comes with GNOME 40: "Fedora editions are targeted outputs geared toward specific 'showcase' uses on the desktop, in server and cloud environments, and the Internet of Things. Fedora Workstation focuses on the desktop, and in particular, it's geared toward software developers who want a 'just works' Linux operating system experience. This release features GNOME 40, the next step in focused, distraction-free computing. GNOME 40 brings improvements to navigation whether you use a trackpad, a keyboard, or a mouse. The app grid and settings have been redesigned to make interaction more intuitive. You can read more about what changed and why in a Fedora Magazine article from March." See the full release announcement for further information.

Development Release: Fedora 34 Beta |
|
The Fedora team have announced the launch of a new development snapshot of their distribution. Fedora 34 Beta introduces a number of significant changes, including GNOME 40, replacing PulseAudio with PipeWire, and the default Btr filesystem enables transparent compression. "After Fedora Linux 33 made BTRFS the default filesystem for desktop variants, Fedora Linux 34 Beta enables transparent compression for more disk space. This increases the lifespan of flash-based media by reducing write amplification for solid-state disks. This compression improves the read and write performance for larger files, with the potential to add significant time efficiency into workflows. With a foundation for future enhancements, we aim to continue adding to these capabilities in future versions. Desktop audio will transition from using PulseAudio to PipeWire to mix and manage audio streams. The supports low-latency for pro audio use cases. PipeWire is better designed to meet the needs of containers and applications shipped in Flatpaks. The integration of PipeWire also creates the space for just one audio infrastructure to serve both desktop and professional use cases for mixing. Fedora 34 Workstation Beta includes GNOME 40, the newest release of the GNOME desktop environment." The release announcement offers further details. Download (pkglist): Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34_Beta-1.3.iso (1,908MB, SHA256, torrent), Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-34_Beta-1.3.iso (2,019MB, SHA256, torrent). |

Distribution Release: Fedora 33 |
|
The Fedora project has announced the release of Fedora 33. The project's latest version ships with Btrfs as the default filesystem (on the Workstation edition) and runs GNOME 3.38. Each edition now enables the EarlyOOM service to free up memory when heavy processes consume too much RAM and swap space. The project has also made nano the default command line text editor, replacing vi. "No matter what variant of Fedora you use, you're getting the latest the open source world has to offer. Following our 'First' foundation, we've updated key programming language and system library packages, including Python 3.9, Ruby on Rails 6.0, and Perl 5.32. In Fedora KDE, we've followed the work in Fedora 32 Workstation and enabled the EarlyOOM service by default to improve the user experience in low-memory situations. To make the default Fedora experience better, we've set nano as the default editor. nano is a friendly editor for new users. Those of you who want the power of editors like vi can, of course, set your own default." Further information can be found in the project's release announcement. Download (pkglist): Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-33-1.2.iso (1,954MB, SHA256, torrent), Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-33-1.2.iso (1,980MB, SHA256, torrent). |
