    The Fedora Project has announced
    the release of Fedora Linux 44. There are "what's new"
    articles for Fedora
    Workstation, Fedora
    KDE Plasma Desktop, and Fedora
    Atomic Desktops. The Fedora Asahi Remix for Apple Silicon Macs,
    based on Fedora 44, is also
    available. See the Fedora Spins page for a full list of alternative desktop options.

    Fedora Linux 44 Workstation ships with the latest GNOME release,
    GNOME 50. This comes with a long list of refinements to your desktop,
    including everything from accessibility to color management and remote
    desktop. Many of the applications that are installed by default on
    Fedora Workstation have also seen improvements, from Document Viewer
    to File Manager and Calendar. To learn more about these and other
    changes, you can read the GNOME 50 release notes.

    KDE Plasma Desktop: If you are a KDE user, you should also notice a
    couple of very obvious changes. Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop 44 is based
    on the latest Plasma 6.6, which includes the new Plasma Login Manager
    and Plasma Setup to provide a more cohesive and integrated experience
    from the moment the computer is powered on for the first time. The
    installation process has been simplified, enabling you to easily set
    up Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop for a computer for a friend or a loved
    one.

    The release
    notes include important changes between Fedora 43 and
    Fedora 44 for desktop users, developers, and system administrators.
