Sadly, DNF5 and the new Anaconda installer didn’t make it to the party, in case you were wondering.
Fedora should be the default distro we recommend to beginners. Everything just works despite being up-to-date unlike Ubuntu. Still waiting for DNF5, though.
Flatpaks never worked for me though, last I tried was 38.
Also didn’t something happen in relation to some encoding?
Pop!_OS would be my recommendation, semi-rolling for sweet driver updates, Ubuntu based for easy searching (how to do x on Ubuntu) and Large software support.
I just remembered that Pop!_OS doesn’t ship with vanilla gnome, sadly, which degrades its position as a recommendation.
I’d argue the “selling” point of Pop!_OS are their non-vanilla GNOME features.
That’s what I hear Pop people saying.
Thats a huge release.
- KDE Plasma 6
- KDE and GNOME Wayland only
- testing images for COSIC (well not officially Fedora)
- atomic distros now are less broken (can update grub)
- LUKS screen on the atomic distros now supports non US layout
- Anaconda webUI only on Workstation?

Any word as to why?
Links to the related FESCo items are in https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-41-Switch-DNF5-Approved but in short, RHEL10 needing to branch off Fedora 40.
I was really hoping for dnf5
I’ve worn the same fedora since 79! no need to upgrade to a new cap!
Super exciting stuff and more on the way
I’ll check out the KDE flavour
Had the Gnome/Workstation variant beta installed on my laptop for a while with zero issues. Looking forward to updating my desktop too.
Next update should be massive. DNF5 to come, the new installer, loads of the Sovereign Tech Fund improvements to things like accessibility, security, the display stack, etc.
I looked at the agreed changes for 41 but couldn’t see any accessibility. Do you know what changes are coming?
They often talk about accessibility plans and changes on Planet GNOME. No idea what is coming though.
Just finished upgrading, all went smooth and Gnome 46 kicks ass so far. VRR is finally here!
Anyone tried the KDE variant with nvidia?
Not on fedora, but on Neon with a 3070. KDE 6 will lock up on Xorg, while electron apps will flash on Wayland, though there is a flag to enable Wayland support, it keeps dropping off of discord every time it updates. Running nvidia 550 proprietary, haven’t gotten to use the open ones yet as I need cuda for work
