The Fedora Project is pleased to announce the latest version of the Fedora operating system, Fedora Linux 38, is now generally available. As always, you should make sure your system is fully up-to-date before upgrading from a previous release. Can’t wait to get started? Download while you read.
New website
You may have noticed that the website looks different. This is the result of over a year of work by the Fedora Project’s websites and apps team in partnership with the design and infrastructure team, as well as the community at large. Right now, users see pages for each of the five editions, but this is only a start. The Fedora Spins and Fedora Labs websites will also be updated in the future. Eventually, this will provide a foundation for bringing more of the Fedora Project’s websites together.
New Fedora Spins
Fedora Linux 38 introduces several new Spins—variants that showcase different desktop environments. The popular Budgie Desktop environment, first packaged for Fedora in F37, now has its own Spin. The Fedora Budgie Spin aims to provide the premiere Budgie Desktop experience on top of Fedora Linux, the leading edge platform for developers and users alike.
For fans of tiling window managers, we now offer the Sway window manager in a Spin and in an rpm-ostree version called Sericea. Sway uses the modern Wayland protocol and aims to be a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager.
If you want to use Fedora Linux on your mobile device, F38 introduces a Phosh image. Phosh is a Wayland shell for mobile devices based on GNOME. This is an early effort from our Mobility SIG. If your device isn’t supported yet, the Fedora Project welcomes your contributions!
Desktop improvements
Fedora Workstation focuses on the desktop experience. As usual, Fedora Workstation features the latest GNOME release. GNOME 44 includes a variety of 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 Fedora Labs target an array 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. Additionally, don’t forget our alternate architectures: ARM AArch64, Power, and S390x.
Sysadmin improvements
Micro DNF—the lighter-weight version of the default package manager—is replaced by DNF5. DNF5 brings performance improvements, a smaller memory footprint and a new daemon that can provide an alternative to PackageKit. You can start testing DNF5 now before it becomes the default in a future Fedora Linux release.
For mainframe admins, we increased the minimal architecture level for IBM Z hardware to z13. This enables you to benefit from the new features of that platform and get better CPU performance.
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.
Other updates
If you’re profiling applications, you’ll appreciate the framer pointers now built into official packages. This makes Fedora Linux a powerful platform for developers looking to improve Linux application performance.
Following our First foundation, we’ve updated key programming language and system library packages, including GCC 13, Golang 1.20, LLVM 16, Ruby 3.2, TeXLive2022, PHP 8.2 and many more.
We’re excited for you to try out the new release, so please download it now. If you’re already running Fedora Linux, follow the easy upgrade instructions. For more information on the new features in Fedora Linux 38, see the release notes.
