This version continues the Fedora project’s emphasis on providing leading open source technologies, including updates from the Linux kernel to the desktop experience. Fedora 35 updates include:
-
Launched GNOME 41 for Fedora workstations. GNOME 41 changes the way of multitasking in GNOME and also provides a new remote desktop client, as well as a mobile settings panel for managing mobile network connections and a number of performance enhancements. In addition, the horizontal workflow introduced in GNOME 40 also has new enhancements to improve ease of use.
-
Enhanced third-party application support, making it easier to install third-party software through Flathub. In this way, users can install Zoom, Minecraft, Bitwarden, and other popular applications through Flathub, and display them directly in the GNOME software through Flathub.
-
Fedora Kinoite variants are added. Similar to Fedora Silverblue, Fedora Kinoite is equipped with a KDE Plasma desktop operating system, a desktop product that can be reconfigured to use RPM-OStree and container-centric workflow.
-
Improve Wayland’s support for NVIDIA. This adds support for NVIDIA drivers equipped with Xwayland, which allows users who wish to run applications without native Wayland support capabilities to still implement 3D support under NVIDIA drivers.
-
In addition, Fedora 35 has also updated key programming languages and system library packages, including firewall 1.0.0, LLVM 13, GNU toolchain update, Python 3.10, etc.
Fedora server technology
The Fedora 35 Cloud image now supports BIOS+UEFI hybrid boot. With this update, users can now support the rollback of the old BIOS, but can also use UEFI when needed.
In addition, Fedora 33 uses Btrfs as the default file system for Fedora workstations, and for Fedora 35, Btrfs is also the default file system for Fedora Cloud. This will enable users to take advantage of transparent compression to save file system space, as well as other features provided by Btrfs.
