Fedora 43 Beta Now Available - Wizards Corner

[wizardfromoz]

G'day.

For the Fedora enthusiasts you may be aware that the Beta edition of Fedora 43 has been released.

If you don't want to wait for the final release, you can get it at Distrowatch , or at Fedora's website as follows

standard workstation - https://fedoraproject.org/workstation/download?beta

KDE Plasma - https://fedoraproject.org/kde/download?beta

If you prefer their Community Spins (I usually use Cinnamon)

https://fedoraproject.org/spins/

Once you choose your DE, on the right side of the resulting page choose "show beta" to get the right version.


END OF LIFE Fedora 41 approaching

Users of Fedora 41 should be aware that EOL for Fedora 41 is 19 November 2025, so don't be caught short.

Good links Chris thanks!

I Ran Fedora and the some of the spins for years.
A good distro for learning.

Any idea what installer comes with Fedora now?
Calamares? Anaconda?

Still Anaconda AFAIK Alex ... not my favourite installer by a long shot.

There is absolutely no other installer as powerful or flexible as anaconda, unituitive and difficult, perhaps.
But anaconda fr bootc, ad kickstart is far ahead of anything else, it's not even close.

It has over 300 commands no other installer has.

It may be OK if you are only running one distro, Ray, but if you are a multi-multi-booter as I am, sorry, it sucks.

The default dark theme makes the text lines near invisible to me, and the drop down options to identify the root partition and the ESP I want to use, and the "unknown" partitions references, make it very chris-unfriendly.
