# Bluefin GTS
Today Bluefin GTS switched its base from Fedora 39 to Fedora 40. The team has been using F40 based builds throughout the last cycle, and we feel it's mature and ready to serve you over the next six months.

### What is Bluefin GTS?
Bluefin is an operating system for your computer. It is designed to be installed on a device and follow Fedora's releases in perpetuity for the life of the hardware -- we accomplish this by sharing the maintenance and care of our systems together as a community. It is designed to be as "zero touch" as possible by providing a curated GNOME experience.
We fiercely invest in automation and distributed work, which is one of the many reasons why Linux and Open Source have devoured the industry. We strive to bring these [cloud native features to the desktop](https://www.ypsidanger.com/announcing-project-bluefin/).

### Bluefin-specific changes
There are a few major changes from a Bluefin perspective that we've been looking forward to:
- We've decided to drop the custom Yaru theming and revert to stock GNOME defaults, which is Adwaita across the board, Inter for the display font, and Jetbrains Mono for the mono font. The window controls and other settings will remain as they are. The Yaru theme and Ubuntu fonts will remain on the image if you want to use `gnome-tweaks` to maintain that Ubuntu look.
- The terminal (`ptyxis`) is now sourced from Fedora instead of our customized COPR build. This was necessary in the early days while we waited for Ptyxis to enter Fedora, but now that it's in and is the default terminal we can drop the custom build completely.
Future GTS builds will include an accent color that you can tweak to what you'd like, but we didn't want to have newer builds on adwaita and older builds on yaru, so we're just going to switch them all as part of this release to keep them consistent with GNOME.
### More Information
Bluefin is a [deinonychus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_gyJUdk-6g), and may snap at you occasionally. Three year olds can get feisty of so there might be issues that you discover that we haven't seen before. [Filing issues](https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/issues) is always appreciated.

We also [accept donations](https://docs.projectbluefin.io/donations) to sponsor the infrastructure and artwork. If there's a piece of software in Bluefin that makes you happy, consider donating to the upstream organization and/or authors. Thanks to the present (and past!) supporters for helping out.
### Looking for Fedora 41?
F41-based `bluefin:latest` is also available today if you want to opt in via `ujust rebase-helper`, though we recommend waiting a few weeks for `bluefin:stable` to rebase to F41. But if you'd rather party tonight, that's an option. Bluefin will always offer both the latest stable release and previous release of Fedora. Switch as you please!
We will will announce `bluefin:stable` when it is ready, check the docs for all the available version options:
- [Upgrades and throttle settings](https://docs.projectbluefin.io/administration#upgrades-and-throttle-settings)
And here are the direct ISOs if you're interested in going right to F41:
- **AMD/Intel systems**: https://download.projectbluefin.io/bluefin-latest.iso
- **Nvidia Systems**: https://download.projectbluefin.io/bluefin-nvidia-latest.iso
### Is that it?
Nothing makes ops people happier than uneventful things.
Today is really like any other, we just updated a few tags, you always have the option to go to any version we support at any time. Wether you like the chill vibe of `bluefin:gts`, the refined aggresiveness of`blufin:stable`, or go right to `bluefin:latest`, the raptor abides. Here's the current lay of the land:

See you in a few weeks when `bluefin:stable` migrates to F41. We can't give you a solid date because we automated it to happen automatically when CoreOS flips the switch. When it comes to overengineering laziness, we spared no expense!
