Fedora Linux 45 replaces the legacy in-kernel console with kmscon, bringing smooth rendering, better Unicode/font support, and enhanced system stability.

Fedora Linux 45 now requires valid package signatures by default before installation, preventing unsigned packages from being installed unintentionally.

Desktop secret management has also been standardized across environments with oo7, replacing legacy backend implementations like GNOME Keyring and KWallet.

Fedora Linux 45 Beta has a lot of new versions available, including Podman 6, Pandas 3, MySQL and MariaDB, to name but a few, and boasts early access to updated toolchains and runtimes, including Python 3.15, Go 1.27, GCC 16.2, and glibc 2.44.

Atomic Desktop ISO builds also now use image-builder, and Fedora Linux 45 beta adds systemd-oomd and zram swap support to Fedora CoreOS.

Anaconda now has initial WebUI installation flows for Atomic Desktops, and native support for partitioning stratis filesystems.
