It\u2019s here! We\u2019re proud to announce the release of Fedora 31. Thanks to the hard work of thousands of Fedora community members and contributors, we\u2019re celebrating yet another on-time release. This is getting to be a habit!<\/p>\n
If you just want to get to the bits without delay, go to https:\/\/getfedora.org\/<\/a> right now. For details, read on!<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t used the Fedora Toolbox<\/a>, this is a great time to try it out. This is a simple tool for launching and managing personal workspace containers, so you can do development or experiment in an isolated experience. It\u2019s as simple as running \u201ctoolbox enter\u201d from the command line.<\/p>\n This containerized workflow is vital for users of the ostree-based Fedora variants like CoreOS, IoT, and Silverblue, but is also extremely useful on any workstation or even server system. Look for many more enhancements to this tool and the user experience around it in the next few months \u2014 your feedback is very welcome.<\/p>\n Fedora Editions are targeted outputs geared toward specific \u201cshowcase\u201d uses.<\/p>\n Fedora Workstation focuses on the desktop, and particular software developers who want a \u201cjust works\u201d Linux operating system experience. This release features GNOME 3.34, which brings significant performance enhancements which will be especially noticeable on lower-powered hardware.<\/p>\n Fedora Server brings the latest in cutting-edge open source server software to systems administrators in an easy-to-deploy fashion.<\/p>\n And, in preview state, we have Fedora CoreOS, a category-defining operating system made for the modern container world, and Fedora IoT<\/a> for \u201cedge computing\u201d use cases. (Stay tuned for a planned contest to find a shiny name for the IoT edition!)<\/p>\n Of course, we produce more than just the editions. Fedora Spins<\/a> and Labs<\/a> target a variety of audiences and use cases, including the Fedora Astronomy<\/a>, which brings a complete open source toolchain to both amateur and professional astronomers, and desktop environments like KDE Plasma<\/a> and Xfce<\/a>.<\/p>\n And, don\u2019t forget our alternate architectures, ARM AArch64, Power, and S390x<\/a>. Of particular note, we have improved support for the Rockchip system-on-a-chip devices including the Rock960, RockPro64, and Rock64, plus initial support for \u201cpanfrost<\/a>\u201d, an open source 3D accelerated graphics driver for newer Arm Mali “midgard” GPUs.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re using an older 32-bit only i686 system, though, it\u2019s time to find an alternative \u2014 we bid farewell to 32-bit Intel architecture as a base system<\/a> this release.<\/p>\n No matter what variant of Fedora you use, you\u2019re getting the latest the open source world has to offer. Following our \u201cFirst<\/a>\u201d foundation, we\u2019re enabling CgroupsV2 (if you\u2019re using Docker, make sure to check this out<\/a>). Glibc 2.30 and NodeJS 12 are among the many updated packages in Fedora 31. And, we\u2019ve switched the \u201cpython\u201d command to by Python 3 \u2014 remember, Python 2 is end-of-life at the end of this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n We\u2019re excited for you to try out the new release! Go to https:\/\/getfedora.org\/<\/a> and download it now. Or if you\u2019re already running a Fedora operating system, follow the easy upgrade instructions<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you run into a problem, check out the Fedora 31 Common Bugs<\/a> page, and if you have questions, visit our Ask Fedora<\/a> user-support platform.<\/p>\n Thanks to the thousands of people who contributed to the Fedora Project in this release cycle, and especially to those of you who worked extra hard to make this another on-time release. And if you\u2019re in Portland for USENIX LISA<\/a> this week, stop by the expo floor and visit me at the Red Hat, Fedora, and CentOS booth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s here!
