Fusion Linux
Fusion Linux was a Fedora remix that adds all the best software that was available for Linux (free, non-free and even some non-open source firmware and applications for better user experience). It was an installable live DVD image that includes multimedia functionality out of the box, with added desktop tweaks for better usability, and additional software. Fusion Linux was 100% compatible with Fedora, including packages from Fedora and RPM Fusion software repositories.

The Fedora team has announced the availability of a new testing snapshot. The new beta release, Fedora 29 beta, includes GNOME 3.30, hides the boot loader menu when there is only one operating system installed and modularity is now available across all Fedora editions. "Fedora 28 introduced modular repositories for Fedora Server Edition. For Fedora 29 beta, modularity is available in all editions, spins and labs. Modularity makes multiple versions of important packages available in parallel and it will work with the same DNF you already know. Learn more about Modularity by reading the documentation, or listening to episode 003 of the Fedora Podcast. Fedora 29 Workstation beta provides GNOME 3.30. GNOME 3.30 streamlines performance, adds a new Podcasts app, and automatically updates Flatpaks in Software Center. Fedora 29 beta also includes many other updates: the Fedora Atomic Workstation was rebranded as Fedora Silverblue, the GRUB menu will be hidden on single OS installation."

Distribution Release: Fedora 28 |
|
The Fedora team has launched a new release of their popular, Red Hat sponsored distribution. The new version, Fedora 28, introduces some important changes, including the ability to more easily add third-party software to the operating system's Workstation edition. "The headline feature for Fedora 28 Server is the inclusion of the new Modular repository. This lets you select between different versions of software like NodeJS or Django, so you can chose the stack you need for your software. Interested? Check out the documentation for using modules. Also of note: 64-bit ARM (Aarch64) is now a primary architecture for Fedora Server. Fedora 28 Workstation has big news too. For the first time, we're making it easy for users to enable certain third-party software sources, including proprietary NVIDIA drivers. We've worked for a long time to figure out the right way to do this without compromising our ideals, and I think the opt-in approach we're trying now does it well. Read more in the Magazine article on third-party repos, and also check out other F28 Workstation news." Further information can be found in the project's release announcement. Fedora is available in three main flavours (Workstation, Server and Atomic), as well as multiple community spins. Download (pkglist): Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-28-1.1.iso (1,705MB, SHA256, torrent), Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-28-1.1.iso (2,769MB, SHA256, torrent). |

Development Release: Fedora 28 Beta |
|
The Fedora team has launched a new testing version of their Red Hat sponsored project. The new development release, Fedora 28 Beta, features 64-bit ARM support and GNOME 3.28. VirtualBox guest additions are now included by default. The big new feature though across all Fedora editions is the project's modular repository: "As discussed in Modularity is Dead, Long Live Modularity, we have taken a simpler approach to modules for F28. Instead of a separate modularized operating system, we've added a new Modular Repository alongside the traditional Everything Repository. With the Fedora Server Edition, the Modular repository will be immediately available. You will have access to a few modules today with more to come during the run-up to the F28 release. You can enable Modularity in other Editions and variants of Fedora, but unfortunately, Modules are not yet available through GNOME Software or Plasma Discover. We are working on providing the necessary support to libdnf which these tools (and others) rely on. To use the Modular repo on a Fedora desktop platform, we recommend enabling it inside a container." Download (pkglist): Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-28_Beta-1.3.iso (1,844MB, SHA256), Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-28_Beta-1.3.iso (571MB, SHA256), Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-28_Beta-1.3.iso (2,756MB, SHA256), Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-28_Beta-1.3.iso (571MB, SHA256). |

Distribution Release: Fedora 26 |
|
Matthew Miller has announced the launch of Fedora 26. The Fedora distribution is available in three editions: Workstation, Server and Atomic Host and can be run on a variety of hardware, including i686, x86_64 and ARM boards. Fedora 26 features a new partition manager in the Anaconda system installer along with many package updates: "First, of course, we have thousands of improvements from the various upstream software we integrate, including new development tools like GCC 7, Golang 1.8, and Python 3.6. We’ve added a new partitioning tool to Anaconda (the Fedora installer) - the existing workflow is great for non-experts, but this option will be appreciated by enthusiasts and sysadmins who like to build up their storage scheme from basic building blocks. F26 also has many under-the-hood improvements, like better caching of user and group info and better handling of debug information. And the DNF package manager is at a new major version (2.5), bringing many new features." Additional information can be found in the release announcement and in the distribution's release notes. Download (pkglist): Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-26-1.5.iso (1,491MB, SHA256, torrent), Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-26-1.5.iso (2,290MB, SHA256, torrent).

The Fedora team have released a new development snapshot of their Red Hat sponsored Linux distribution.
