| 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 43 |
 |
Jef Spaleta has announced the launch of Fedora 43. The key highlights of the new release are a new system installer which was tested in the Workstation edition of Fedora 42 and is now available for all spins, and Wayland-only sessions on the Workstation edition. "There are, however, a few notable user visible changes in this release. For those of you installing fresh Fedora Linux 43 Spins, you may be greeted with the new Anaconda WebUI. This was the default installer interface for Fedora Workstation 42, and now it's the default installer UI for the Spins as well. If you are a GNOME desktop user, you'll also notice that the GNOME is now Wayland-only in Fedora Linux 43. GNOME upstream has deprecated X11 support, and has disabled it as a compile time default in GNOME 49. Upstream GNOME plans to fully remove X11 support in GNOME 50. Beyond the user-visible changes, there are a couple of significant bits of plumbing that should go unnoticed for most users but are a big deal, nonetheless. Fedora Linux 43 will be the first release with RPM 6.0." Additional information is presented in the release announcement and in the release notes.

Development Release: Fedora 43 Beta |
|
The Fedora project has announced a new development release for Fedora 43. The new version, Fedora 43 beta, focuses on new installation methods and automatic updates across spins. "Anaconda WebUI for Fedora Spins by default - this creates a consistent and modern installation experience across all Fedora desktop variants. It brings us closer to eventually replacing the older GTK installer. This ensures all Fedora users can benefit from the same polished and user-friendly interface. Switch Anaconda installer to DNF5 - this change provides better support and debugging for package-based applications within Anaconda. It is a bigger step towards the eventual deprecation or removal of DNF4, which is now in maintenance mode. Enable auto-updates by default in Fedora Kinoite - this change ensures that users are consistently running a system with the latest bug fixes and features after a simple reboot. Updates are applied automatically in the background." Additional information can be found in the release announcement. Download (pkglist): Fedora-Workstation-Live-43_Beta-1.3.x86_64.iso (2,655MB, SHA256), Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-43_Beta-1.3.x86_64.iso (3,121MB, SHA256), Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-43_Beta-1.3.iso (3,319MB, SHA256).

Distribution Release: Fedora 42 |
|
The Fedora team has announced the release of Fedora 42. The new version elevates the KDE Plasma spin to "edition" status, alongside the existing GNOME edition, and introduces a new COSMIC desktop spin. "We've promoted our KDE Plasma desktop offering to 'Edition' status. The Fedora KDE team has been hard at work making sure bugs get fixed and everything is polished just so. We're confident that this can stand along our other amazing flagship offerings. I know the naming is a bit confusing, with GNOME-powered 'Workstation' using a generic label while KDE Plasma has the tech right in the name. We'll get that figured out eventually. If you don't know where to start, don't panic. Pick one and see how it goes." Additional information is available in the release announcement and in the release notes. The project also acknowledges a cosmetic bug: "We discovered a problem with the live boot media at the last minute, and since the release was already out of the airlock, we can't do much about it. It doesn't damage anything, but is annoying: just booting the Live media adds an unexpected entry to the UEFI boot loader even when Fedora Linux 42 is not installed to the local system." Download (pkglist): Fedora-Workstation-Live-42-1.1.x86_64.iso (2,287MB, SHA256), Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-42-1.1.x86_64.iso (2,712MB, SHA256), Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-42-1.1.iso (2,790MB, SHA256). |

Development Release: Fedora 42 Beta |
|
Matthew Miller has announced the release of Fedora 42 beta. One of the big changes with this release cycle is the elevation of the KDE Plasma spin to be on par with the GNOME/Workstation edition. "KDE Plasma desktop has been promoted to edition status starting with Fedora Linux 42 beta. You can expect to continue to enjoy the same level of quality from Fedora KDE Plasma desktop that you always have. In addition, Fedora KDE Plasma desktop is now supported on Power systems (ppc64le). Also, the full KDE stack (including KDE PIM) is now available on Power and we have installable live images for OpenPOWER-based systems like the Talos Workstation from Raptor Systems. We also have a brand new Spin in Fedora Linux 42 beta - introducing the Fedora COSMIC spin. This new Rust-based desktop environment is developed by System76, makers of Pop!_OS. COSMIC has many unique features, such as hybrid per-workspace window/tiling management, window stacks with tabs to switch between windows...."

Distribution Release: Fedora 41 |
|
The Fedora team have announced the availability of Fedora 41. The project's latest release ships with version 6.11 of the Linux kernel, RPM 4.20 and GNOME 47 for the distribution's Workstation edition. This release also removes GNOME's X11 support in the Workstation edition. "Fedora Workstation 41 is based on GNOME 47. Read What's New in Fedora Workstation 41? for details. Notably for command-line users, we've changed the default terminal to GNOME Console. It's more lightweight, but has some nice new features as well. (GNOME Terminal is still there if you need some of the flexibility it offers.) Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop ships with the latest KDE 6.2 release. See What's New in Fedora KDE 41? for more. We also have a new Spin featuring KDE Plasma Mobile. If you're interested in trying something new, take a look at Fedora Miracle! Miracle is a new desktop environment built on Mir and Wayland. " Additional information can be found in the release announcement and in the release notes.

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."

Development Release: Fedora 40 Beta |
|
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.

2XOS
2XOS was a Debian-based GNU/Linux distribution with a small footprint, optimised for remote desktop computing. It features auto-detection capabilities similar to KNOPPIX. It boots directly to a login manager which, when coupled with the 2X Remote Application Server, redirects users to a remote RDP/ICA/NX desktop. The distribution can be booted via PXE, CD or installed to a hard disk or flash disk. Updates to the distribution are managed through the 2X Remote Application Server web interface. 2XOS requires 2X Remote Application Server to boot up; 2X Remote Application Server was a commercial product, though it was free for up to five thin clients. 2X Software was a company providing virtual desktop, application delivery and mobile device management solutions. It offers a range of solutions to make every organisation's shift to cloud computing simple and affordable.
