Fedora 41 Workstation Live
64-bit
Fedora is the community source for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux. The Live Workstation edition can be booted without affecting an existing system or used for installation.
This release includes Gnome 47, benefiting from cosmetic changes such as new options for accent colors and restyled dialog windows as well as enhanced support for low-resolution screens. It also introduces Ptyxis, a terminal app with support for containers that also features the terminal inspector for debugging, a choice of dark or light modes, and user-customizable keyboard shortcuts. In addition, the hardware support includes support for recent camera models via PipeWire, and a camera icon in the top panel to show when the camera is on. Among other features of interest are enhanced support for traditional Chinese characters and the use of mokutil to enter keys during the installation of NVIDIA drivers. All these new features continue Fedora's constant evolution of its user experience.
