Fedora Linux 41 Released with Linux Kernel 6.11, DNF5, GNOME 47, and More!
This is the first Fedora Linux release to switch to DNF5 for a faster and more enhanced package management experience.
The Fedora Project officially released today Fedora Linux 41 as the latest version of their Red Hat-sponsored GNU/Linux distribution for the masses featuring some of the latest and greatest software.
Powered by Linux kernel 6.11, Fedora Linux 41 comes with the latest GNOME 47 desktop environment on the flagship Fedora Workstation edition, which has been stripped of the X11 session to deliver a Wayland-only experience to users. In addition, Fedora Workstation now supports installing the NVIDIA drivers with Secure Boot enabled via GNOME Software.
“Previously, Nvidia driver installation had been removed from GNOME Software because it didn’t support Secure Boot, which is increasingly-often enabled by default on laptops. This change brings the option back for Fedora Workstation users with Secure Boot supported. This is good news for folks who want to use Fedora Linux for gaming and CUDA. The change also helps Fedora stay relevant for AI/LLVM workloads,” said Fedora Project.
