Learn more about the new and updated features of Fedora 43 Beta below and don’t forget to make sure that your system is fully up-to-date before upgrading from a previous release. Anaconda WebUI for Fedora Spins by default: Creates a more consistent and modern installation experience across all Fedora desktop variants, and brings us closer to eventually replacing the older GTK installer, allowing all Fedora users to benefit from the same polished and user-friendly interface. Switch Anaconda installer to DNF5: Provides better support and debugging for package-based applications within Anaconda, and is a bigger step towards the eventual deprecation or removal of DNF4, which is now in maintenance mode. Enable auto-updates by default in Fedora Kinoite: Assures users are more consistently running a system with the latest bug fixes and features after a simple reboot, with updates applied automatically in the background. Set default monospace fallback font: Establishes a standard fallback font when a specified monospace font is missing. The font selection also remains more stable and predictable, even when the user installs new font packages, and no jarring font changes that were in previous versions. GNU toolchain update: Allows Fedora to stay current with the latest features, improvements, and bug and security fixes from the upstream gcc, glibc, binutils, and gdb projects, and delivers a working system compiler, assembler, static and dynamic linker, core language runtimes, and debugger. Package-specific RPM macros for build flags: Provides a standard way for packages to add to the default list of compiler flags. It also offers a cleaner and simpler method for package maintainers to make per-package adjustments to build flags, avoiding the need to manually edit and re-export environmental variables, and prevents potential issues that could arise from the old manual method, confirming that flag adjustments are applied appropriately. Build Fedora CoreOS using Containerfile: This change brings the Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) build process under a standard container image build, moving away from the custom tool, CoreOS Assembler. It also means that anyone with Podman installed can build FCOS, which simplifies the process for both individual users and automated pipelines.
