  • Hello stargazers, we have some exciting news to bring to you today. We are releasing Aurora 42 into the wild for all people who rock the :latest tag for their installed Aurora. People who are on the normal stable branch will continue to rock Fedora 41 until we let it loose to your machines too! :smile: You won't notice a big difference going from Fedora 41 to Fedora 42 since KDE is on Version 6.3 on both of those releases, you just get an updated kernel and other system packages. The release trains currently look like this: Here's the current lay of the land:

  • Guardians, today Bluefin GTS switched its base from Fedora 40 to Fedora 41. The team has been using F41 based builds throughout the last cycle, and we feel it's mature and ready to serve you over the next six months. GNOME 47 is a banger, and I think you'll dig it. We say goodbye to F40, it has served us well! You'll receive this update during your next update window, or you can run an update manually. Here's the major Fedora release information: Fedora Magazine: What's new in Fedora Workstation 41 GNOME 47 release notes What is Bluefin GTS?

  • Hi all, This is just quick informative one regarding F42 betas and some future stuff. You can read Jorge's post which covers lot of stuff and no need to repeat them here. F42 based Aurora https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/pkgs/container/aurora/382326788?tag=beta We have today enabled Fedora 42 based betas of Aurora images, so come and consume. Just to note that there are still missing pieces (like some akmods etc) but things will improve over time once we near the looming launch of Fedora 42.

  • Hey ya'll, we're about to head into conference season so I thought I'd do a quick rollup for you before the team starts on F42 work. Most of these things are infrastructure and project related and won't have a visible impact on your desktop or OS. Don't worry we have other exciting things for that coming down the pipeline! These updates brought to you by Tulip, P5, M2, and bsherman. Repo Consolidation Config -> Packages We've been doing a poor job historically of reviewing across so many repositories, so we did some consolidation. The ublue-os/config repo has been consolidated here:

  • The first Universal Blue ARM image is here! Thanks to p5 and tulip we can now offer ARM images of Bluefin LTS (Alpha). Due to the "we started over so it's much easier" nature of Bluefin LTS this was a relatively simple lift. It'll likely be more time until other ARM images are made, but it's a start. (You can help by diving in!) If you're wondering about Asahi, the Hyperscale SIG in CentOS announced that they are planning on making base images of all of their backports so that it will strsaightforward for us to consume that. This also bodes well for the long-term viability of a Bluefin LTS as those newer kernels and features will ensure it can support newer hardware. In the meantime, enjoy! Also if you plan to try this on bare metal please post a picture, lots of us don't have ARM laptops. Download Instructions bluefin-lts-arm64.iso (checksum)

  • https://github.com/centos-workstation/achillobator Assuming we get good feedback at SCaLE, here's how I'm thinking this looks like: Blockers bootc-image-builder flatpak support Secure Boot Skippable Nvidia drivers via their official repoWe will add them as soon as it's available, but this lets us ship to non-Nvidia machines asap.

  • What is Quadlet? Quadlet is a features of podman that allows a user to run a container as systemd units. It works by using a declarative syntax like docker compose but integrates to systemd and use podman as a backend. Quick Example: Create a file called ~/.config/containers/systemd/nginx.container with content below. [Container] ContainerName=nginx Image=docker.io/nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged PublishPort=8080:8080

  • Today the Bluefin stable stream updated to Fedora 41. bluefin:stable is ready to go! If you're looking for Aurora, [check it out here]. Thanks to those of you who have been running this stream and giving us your feedback! This concludes four months of testing and we now consider this ready for wider consumption. While [Bluefin GTS] holds the fort, Bluefin shifts into high gear a few weeks later. Here's some background info on the release: Fedora Magazine: What's new in Fedora Workstation 41 What’s new for Fedora Atomic Desktops in Fedora 41 GNOME 47 release notes
