Join the Fedora community online to celebrate the recent release of Fedora Linux 42 on Matrix. Registration is free but required.

What is Fedora?

The Fedora Project is a community of people working together to build a free and open source software platform and to collaborate on and share user-focused solutions built on that platform. Or, in plain English, we make an operating system and we make it easy for you to do useful stuff with it.

In April 2025, the Fedora community released the latest version of its operating system, Fedora Linux 42. This brings significant updates, including a new web-based Anaconda installer for Fedora Workstation, the promotion of KDE Plasma to a full Edition, the introduction of a Fedora COSMIC spin, and the latest GNOME 48 desktop. This release also features key underlying changes such as the unification of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin directories, the adoption of EROFS for live media, an FEX emulator for running x86/x86-64 binaries on AArch64 systems, and updated developer toolchains like GCC 15 and LLVM 20.

What is a Release Party?

Fedora releases a new major version about every six months. Fedora has a long tradition of holding in-person and virtual Release Parties to bring our community of contributors, users, and open source fans to look at the last release of Fedora Linux and meet members of the community. This Fedora Release Party is open to Fedora contributors, users, and enthusiasts who want to know more about the latest release of Fedora Linux and what the community was up to during the last release cycle.

Registration is free, but required to attend. You will receive an invitation to your Matrix ID closer to the event
