This brings Fedora and the Kiwi project closer together, forging a great working relationship between our Cloud working group and the upstream maintainers. The Fedora Cloud Edition has moved its image generation tooling to use Kiwi. Individual, stable MAC address assignment for Wi-FiĪ new feature in F40 is the ability to assign a random but stable MAC address to a user's Wi-Fi connection, making it difficult for advertisers and network operators to track and gather data so our users can continue to experience stable, reliable connections to Wi-Fi without compromising their privacy. Programmers who use Fedora Linux 40 will have the benefit of clearer build fail error messages. This release of Fedora includes a transition from an older C compiler to a more modern C stack. Accelerator support is planned for future releases. ROCm 6 enables the newest flagship datacenter GPU, the AMD Instinct MI300, as well as previously enabled GPUs. The current build enables CPU-based computation as a first step to making this important tool easier to access. PyTorch provides a user-friendly interface for building and testing complex machine learning models. PyTorch and ROCm 6 are now available in the latest release, allowing users to utilize a high demand machine learning framework that is widely used for image and speech recognition, natural language processing and other AI applications. AI advancementsįedora Linux 40 now has two newly-integrated AI packages. In Fedora Linux 40, you can now try out bootable IoT containers, a new way to build and deliver OS-tree content through cloud-native patterns. The Sericea operating system is now known as Fedora Atomic Sway. Introducing Fedora Atomic Desktopsįedora Linux 40 returns a classic brand to its users, with a new twist: introducing Fedora Atomic Desktops! All rpm-ostree based variants of Fedora, including Silverblue, Kinoite, Sway and Budgie, will be grouped under the Fedora Atomic Desktops brand. This means that the last few years of upstream innovation in Fedora will begin working their way downstream with the enterprise guarantee that RHEL is known for. CentOS Stream is the next major release of the rolling-release CentOS Stream distribution, which in turn becomes the foundation for the next major version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, RHEL 10. However, this Fedora Linux release is also notable as the branch point for CentOS Stream 10. CentOS Stream 10 & RHEL 10 branch pointįedora Linux 40 comes full of new features and changes. Don’t forget to ensure your system is fully up-to-date before upgrading from a previous release. It also features newly-integrated AI tooling, and updates to many software packages from the whole open source ecosystem. For desktop systems, this release brings GNOME 46 and KDE Plasma 6 (with the Wayland graphics stack). The Fedora Project is pleased to announce that the latest version of the Fedora Linux operating system, Fedora Linux 40, is now generally available.
