Fedora 20 live desktop5/21/2023 ![]() Now F35 has surprised me by releasing a very solid Gnome 41 experience even before than Arch, which at this time is still in 40.5. I found a very consistent operational system, with very up to date packages and undoubtedly a great Gnome 40 experience, with no bloatware and free of bugs that sometimes took me some time to solve when I was running Arch (no demerit to Arch since it’s the expected from a rolling-release distro). I’ve been running Arch Linux for two years but decided to give Fedora a try when F34 was released. Be sure to join us November 12–13 for a virtual release party! Fedora is a community, and it’s great to see how much we’ve supported each other. Thanks to the thousands of people who contributed to the Fedora Project in this release cycle, and especially to those of you who worked extra hard to make this another terrific release during a pandemic. If you run into a problem, check out the F35 Common Bugs page, and if you have questions, visit our Ask Fedora user-support platform. For more information on the new features in Fedora Linux 35, see the release notes. Or if you’re already running Fedora Linux, follow the easy upgrade instructions. We’re excited for you to try out the new release! Go to and download it now. Fedora Linux 35 also includes the 1.0 release of firewalld, the modern firewall service. Following our “ First” foundation, we’ve updated key programming language and system library packages, including Python 3.10, Perl 5.34, and PHP 8.0. No matter what variant of Fedora you use, you’re getting the latest the open source world has to offer. Of course, you can always get the full set of applications available in Flathub by adding the 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. Additionally, enabling third-party repositories now makes selected Flathub applications available via a filtered Flathub remote. If you enable the third-party repositories that ship in Fedora Linux desktop variants, those repositories are now immediately available. It provides a richer development experience and adds bindings for most languages. WirePlumber allows for more customization of the policy and rules for audio and video. 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. And, don’t forget our alternate architectures: ARM AArch64, Power, and S390x. New in Fedora Linux 35 is Fedora Kinoite: a reprovisionable desktop system featuring the KDE Plasma desktop. 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. Of course, we produce more than just the Editions. Following the change to BTRFS as the default file system in Fedora Linux 33, Fedora Cloud 35 now uses BTRFS. ![]() ![]() Since many public cloud providers now support UEFI boot, Cloud images have hybrid boot support, unifying the legacy (BIOS) and UEFI boot modes. We’ve made some improvements in Fedora Cloud for this release. It also introduces Connections, a new client for VNC- and RDP-based remote desktop. GNOME Software has also been overhauled in GNOME 41 to make it easier to browse and discover applications. GNOME 41 includes improvements in power management. ![]() This release features GNOME 41, which builds on the reimagining of desktops in GNOME 40 (which shipped in Fedora Workstation 34). A Fedora Linux for every use caseįedora Editions are targeted outputs geared toward specific “showcase” uses on the desktop, in server & cloud environments, and for the Internet of Things.įedora Workstation focuses on the desktop, and in particular, it’s geared toward software developers who want a “just works” Linux operating system experience. Fedora believes that software has to be usable to be useful, so while we know that a predictable schedule is important, we also ensure that every release meets our criteria, no matter what the calendar says. Today, I’m excited to share the results of the hard work of thousands of Fedora Project contributors: our latest release, Fedora Linux 35, is here! While we broke our six-release streak of on-schedule releases, we felt it was more important to resolve a few outstanding blocking bugs.
