Fedora 43 Has Finally Landed
The Fedora Linux developers have announced their latest release, Fedora 43.
That's right, Fedora fans, the latest iteration of your favorite Linux distribution, Fedora 43, has been announced on this post.
This new release will use kernel 6.17, include Gnome 49, and include a vast number of updates and enhancements. You'll get improvements to the Anaconda Web UI installer for Fedora spins, Wayland-only support for Gnome, DNF5, new default wallpapers, RPM 6.0, major toolchain upgrades (such as GCC 15.2, Binutils 2.45, glibc 2.42, and GDB 17.1), Python sees an update to version 3.14, LLVM 21, improved font handling, automatic updates enabled by default in Fedora Kinoite, support for the Hare programming language, and more.
You'll also find that AMD Ryzen systems will benefit from smarter workload distributions via the new Hardware Feedback Interface (HFI), and hybrid laptops gain much-improved battery efficiency and better graphics handling, thanks to SmartMux support.
Intel-powered systems will enjoy improved multicore scheduling for better multitasking, as well as improved webcam support thanks to the IPU7 driver.
As well, memory stability has been improved, thanks to updated error detection, and GPU virtualization now includes SR-IOV support for certain Intel graphics cards.
