Fedora 41 Released with New Features
If you're a Fedora fan or just looking for a Linux distribution to help you migrate from Windows, Fedora 41 might be just the ticket.
Fedora 41 is here with a number of updates ranging from patches to new features. The default spin uses the Gnome 47 desktop environment, offering added polish created by the Gnome developers.
For those who've been using Fedora for some time, you'll be surprised to discover the developers have switched out the default terminal app for one called Ptyxis. As the new Gnome terminal, Ptyxis includes first-class support for containers, profiles, theming, pinned tabs, and even a terminal inspector. Ptyxis is geared more toward power users, but even those new to Linux shouldn't have any problem making use of it (should such a situation arise).
Fedora 41 also includes enhanced support for ARM-based devices, such as Raspberry Pi and Apple Silicon, along with spins for KDE Plasma Mobile and Kinoite Mobile (Gnome). In addition, a new power profile manager daemon, tuned, replaces the previous system, and offers improved control over power consumption. Finally, Fedora 41 improves support for IPU6 cameras so that newer laptop cameras will function out of the box.
You can read all about the changes made in Fedora 41 in the official release notes and download an ISO from the official download site.
