Fedora Linux 36 distribution transferred to beta testing

it started Testing a beta version of the Fedora Linux distribution 36. beta-release marked the transition to the final testing stage at which it is allowed Only correction of critical errors. Release is scheduled on April 26. The release covers Fedora Workstation , Fedora Server, Fedora Silverblue, Fedora IoT and Live assemblies supplied in the form Spins with KDE Plasma 5, Xfce, Mate, Cinnamon, LXDE and LXQT desktop-environments. Assembly are formed for architectures x86_64, POWER64, ARM64 (AARCH64) and various devices with 32-bit Arm processors.

Most significant Changes in Fedora Linux 36:

  • Fedora Workstation desktop is updated before the release of GNOME 42, which is added common to the entire environment setting up the interface design and is transferred to many applications for the use of GTK 4 and libadwaita library, which offers ready widgets and objects to build applications that correspond to new GNOME HIG Recommendations (Human Interface Guidelines).
  • For systems with NVIDIA proprietary drivers, the GNOME session is involved on the Wayland protocol, which used to be used only when using open drivers. The ability to select a GNOME session running on top of the traditional X server is saved. Previously, Wayland’s enabled on systems with NVIDIA drivers prevented the lack of support for OpenGL and VULKAN hardware acceleration in X11 applications performed using a DDX component (Device-Dependent X) XWAYLAND. In the new branch of the NVIDIA drivers, problems are eliminated and the performance of OpenGL and VULKAN in X-applications running using XWayland are now almost no different from starting running a regular X server.
  • Atomarically updated editions of Fedora Silverblue and Fedora Kinoite, offering monolithic images with GNOME and KDE, not divided into separate packages and collected using RPM-OSTREE tools, recycled to accommodate the / var hierarchy on a separate BTRFS subsection, which allows manipulation of content snapshots / var regardless of other system sections.
  • Packages and Distribution Package with LXQT Desktop Updated to Lxqt 1.0 version.
  • During the system, the SystemD is provided with unit file names, which simplified the definition of which services are started and stop. For example, instead of “Starting Frobnicating Daemon …” will now be output “Starting Frobnicator.Service – Frobnicating Daemon …”.
  • By default, for most languages, noto fonts are involved instead of dejavu.
