• Updated runtimes: Ruby 4.0, Go 1.26, PHP 8.5, and Django 6.
• Enhanced KDE experience with a unified setup flow and the new Plasma Login Manager.
• Continued Wayland adoption across desktops, including Budgie.
• Improved ARM/aarch64 support with better out-of-the-box compatibility.
• Better gaming performance via NTSYNC for Wine and Steam.
• Modernized build & cloud pipelines with Packit and Konflux.

What is a Release Party?

Fedora releases a new major version roughly every six months. Each release is an opportunity for contributors, users, and open source enthusiasts to come together, explore what’s new, and celebrate the work behind it.

The Fedora Linux 44 Release Party will feature talks, demos, and discussions with Fedora contributors and SIGs. Whether you’re new to Fedora or a long-time member, join us to learn, connect, and celebrate this milestone release.
