Article Proposal: What's New in Fedora KDE 41

Article Summary:

A quick description of the recent events in Fedora KDE, followed by highlights of several important upgrades and additions in Fedora 41 - both across Fedora and uniquely in Fedora KDE

Article Description:

Below are some summary thoughts from Neal and the KDE SIG that I would be working to turn into an article:

Call back to Fedora Linux 40 and the inclusion of MegaRelease 6

Noteworthy things to call out this cycle:

  • Fedora KDE on ARM is now release-blocking: Changes/Fedora KDE AArch64 ReleaseBlocker - Fedora Project Wiki
    • Does not include ARM live ISOs yet (these are still not release-blocking), will come in a future release
  • New Fedora KDE Mobile spin along with Kinoite Mobile variant: Changes/Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile - Fedora Project Wiki
    • No install ISO for Kinoite Mobile this cycle, coming soon!
  • KDE Plasma 6.2: Plasma 6.2 - KDE Community
    • Full support for configuration and calibration of drawing tablets for artists
    • Integrated full color management support for games and multimedia enabled out of the box
    • Significantly improved accessibility, including features to adapt for color-blindness and “sticky keys” for users with limited dexterity and mobility

Fedora level things to note:

Thanks for your consideration!

Wait, that is the announcement for Workstation (GNOME). This would be an announcement for KDE.
