NEW • Development Release: Fedora 24 Alpha |
Rate this project
|
The Fedora Project has launched the first alpha snapshot of the distribution's upcoming Fedora 24 release. The new testing snapshot features version 6 of the GNU Compiler Collection and a preview of GNOME 3.20. Wayland is available as a session option, but X remains the default display server. "Workstation features a preview of GNOME 3.20, which was released just after the Alpha was cut. The GNOME 3.20 release is already available in the Fedora 24 update stream. Once you install Fedora 24 Alpha, you can use Software or DNF to update. GNOME 3.20 will of course be part of Fedora 24 Beta and the Final release. We have decided not to make Wayland, the next generation graphic stack, the default in Fedora 24 Workstation. However, Wayland remains available as an option, and the Workstation team would greatly appreciate your help in testing. Our goal is one full release where the non-default Wayland option works seamlessly, or reasonably close thereto. At that point we will make Wayland the default with X11 as the fallback option." Additional information on Fedora 24 Alpha along with the project's Workstation, Server, Cloud, ARM and other spins can be found in the release announcement and release notes.

| 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.

Development Release: Fedora 41 Beta |
|
The Fedora team have announced the release of a new development snapshot, Fedora 41 Beta. This development release removes Python 2, re-introduces the NVIDIA binary driver through the software centre, and upgrades the DNF package manager. "Although it can’t be part of Fedora Linux, we know that the NVIDIA binary driver is pragmatically essential for many people. Previously, NVIDIA driver installation had been removed from GNOME Software because it didn’t support Secure Boot, which is increasingly-often enabled by default on laptops. This change brings the option back for Fedora Workstation users with Secure Boot supported. This is good news for folks who want to use Fedora Linux for gaming and CUDA. The change also helps Fedora stay relevant for AI/LLVM workloads. In Fedora Linux 41, the DNF package management command will be updated to version 5. (DNF5 and bootc will be available on image-based Fedora variants such as Atomic desktops and Fedora IoT.) The new packages will make it simpler to build and update bootable container images based on these variants." Additional details can be found in the Fedora Magazine release announcement. Download (pkglist): Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-41_Beta-1.2.iso (2,279MB, SHA256), Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-41_Beta-1.2.iso (2,609MB, SHA256). |

Distribution Release: Fedora 40 |
|
Matthew Miller has announced the release of Fedora 40. The new release features GNOME 46, KDE Plasma 6, and PyTorch for deep learning tasks. The release announcement shares the highlights: "Fedora Workstation Edition features the GNOME desktop environment, now updated to version 46. Check out What's New in Fedora Workstation 40? for the highlights! The KDE Spin now includes KDE Plasma 6, and runs with Wayland out of the box. Read more about that and other KDE Spin updates at What's New in Fedora KDE 40? We're also officially reviving the “Fedora Atomic Desktop” brand for all of our variants which use ostree or image-based provisioning. Our technology isn't really 'immutable', so this provides a better grouping. Read more about this at Introducing Fedora Atomic Desktops - but in short, Fedora Silverblue and Fedora Kinoite will remain, while the other desktop variants will become Fedora Sway Atomic and Fedora Budgie Atomic."

The Fedora team have published a beta snapshot for the upcoming release of Fedora 40. The new beta ships with GNOME 46 and KDE Plasma 6, with the latter offering Wayland as the only login session. "The Fedora Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Fedora Linux 40 beta, the next step towards our planned Fedora Linux 40 release at the end of April. Fedora KDE desktop now ships with Plasma 6, thanks to a lot of hard work from the Fedora KDE Special Interest Group and the upstream KDE project, is Wayland-only. (Don't worry, X11-native apps will still run under Wayland.) Fedora Workstation 40 beta brings us GNOME 46. We're bringing you Podman 5 for container management. The AMD ROCm accelerator framework is updated to version 6. And, we've got the updated language stacks you expect from a new release: LLVM 18 (that's Clang and friends), as well as GCC 14 (with newer glibc, Binutils and gdb). There are many other changes big and small across the release." Additional details can be found in the release announcement.

Distribution Release: Fedora 39 |
|
The Fedora project has published a new release, Fedora 39, which includes GNOME 45, an updated version of Inkscape, and updated development tools. This release is also offered in a new atomic desktop flavour which uses the Budgie desktop and is called Fedora Onyx. "On November 6, 2003, the Fedora Project released the Fedora Core 1. One day and twenty years later, we're pleased to bring you Fedora Linux 39, our complete, community-built operating system for desktops, laptops, servers, the cloud, edge devices - and just about anything else you can think of. Fedora Workstation now features GNOME 45, which brings better performance and many usability enhancements, including a new workspace switcher and a much-improved image viewer. If you're looking for a different desktop experience, our Budgie Special Interest Group has created Fedora Onyx, a Budgie-based 'Atomic' desktop in the spirit of Fedora Silverblue. Of course, that's not all - we also have updated desktop flavors featuring KDE Plasma Desktop, Xfce, Cinnamon and more." Additional details are offered in the Fedora Magazine release announcement.

Development Release: Fedora 39 Beta |
|
The Fedora project has announced a new beta release of the Red Hat-sponsored distribution. The new beta snapshot, Fedora 39 Beta, is a relatively minor upgrade with a number of proposals (such as an upgrade for the DNF package manager) not completing in time to make it into this release. However, the GNOME desktop and LibreOffice have received significant updates: "The Fedora Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Fedora Linux 39 Beta, the next step towards our planned Fedora Linux 39 release at the end of October. Fedora Workstation 39 Beta brings us GNOME 45 (itself also in beta). For everyone who needs a free and open source desktop suite, there’s LibreOffice 7.6. Fedora Cloud images for AWS now default to less-expensive gp3 storage volumes. We also have an update to the GNU Toolchain (GCC 13.2, Binutils 2.40, glibc 2.38, gdb 13.2). Of course, developers appreciate that we include the latest tools, but these updates also include improvements to security and performance that will benefit everyone who uses Fedora Linux." Additional details are provided in the release announcement. Download (pkglist): Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-39_Beta-1.1.iso (2,038MB, SHA256, torrent), Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-39_Beta-1.1.iso (2,424MB, SHA256, torrent). |

Distribution Release: Fedora 38 |
|
The Fedora team have announced the release of Fedora 38. The new release offers the GNOME 44 desktop in the project's Workstation edition. The distribution now features shorter timeout delays when services shutdown, which makes shutting down or restarting the system faster. The DNF5 package manager has been introduced as a technology preview and users are invited to try it out and report on their experiences. "Fedora Workstation focuses on the desktop experience. As usual, Fedora Workstation features the latest GNOME release. GNOME 44 includes a lot of great improvements, including a new lock screen, a 'background apps' section on the quick menu, and improvements to accessibility settings. In addition, enabling third-party repositories now enables an unfiltered view of applications on Flathub. With this release, we've shortened the default timeout when services shut down. This helps your system power off faster - important when you need to grab your laptop and go. Of course, we produce more than just the Editions. Fedora Spins and Labs target a variety of audiences and use cases, including Fedora Comp Neuro, which provides tools for computational neuroscience, and desktop environments like Fedora LXQt, which provides a lightweight desktop environment. And, don't forget our alternate architectures: ARM AArch64, Power, and S390x." The release announcement and release notes offer additional information. Download (pkglist): Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-38-1.6.iso (2,002MB, SHA256, torrent), Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-38-1.6.iso (2,325MB, SHA256, torrent). |

Development Release: Fedora 38 Beta |
|
The Fedora project has published a beta snapshot of the distribution's upcoming Fedora 38 release. The new beta features GNOME 44, updated development tools, and strict compile flags to protect against common memory attacks. "Fedora 38 Workstation Beta includes GNOME 44. It’s currently in beta, with a final release expected at the end of March. GNOME 44 includes a lot of great improvements, including a new lock screen, a 'background apps' section on the quick menu, and improvements to accessibility settings. In addition, enabling third-party repositories now enables an unfiltered view of applications on Flathub. We always strive to bring new security features to users quickly. Packages are now built with stricter compiler flags that protect against buffer overflows. The rpm package manager uses a Sequoia-based OpenPGP parser instead of its own implementation. If you’re profiling applications, you’ll appreciate the frame pointers now built into official packages. This makes Fedora Linux a great platform for developers looking to improve Linux application performance."

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."
