Fedora 42 also available | Installing Opera and Mysql Workbench in F43

Hello

is there also a possibility to get further more Fedora 42 ?
i’ve installed Version 43 but there are some programs (e.x. Opera, Mysql Workbench) which I could’nt be install because of issing repositories …
so I’m thinking about using Version 42

Greetings
Norbert

You can use mediawriter to create a Fedora 42 live USB.
Tell mediawriter to Download Automatically, then you can choose the edition of Fedora and between release 43 or 42.

thx for the response
I’ve watched about the whole website but could’nt find any kind of archiv or something that way to get previous versions

You can also get the F42 ISOs from here: FCIX Micro Mirror

Or torrents from here: Download Fedora Linux 42 via BitTorrent | The Fedora Project

great, thx very much
this forum is great !

@vladislav: I believe you’ll mention SNAP - but this is am installation I don’t prefer, because in my opinion it isn’t very save, I truat more in the official repositories whick will be checked by fedora

by the way, espacially in several online portals like githab, microsoft marketplace and even in the npm store (e.x. used by eclipse) there are accounts hacked and infected by glassworm, a friend and colleague’s pc has been infected by downloading from github

so no - snap doesn’t seem a option to me

I downloaded several RPMs from the Mysql Del Zone (https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/) but didn’t get one working , often it lacks on the dependencies or keys (keyring)

so which version did you get working on fed 43 ?

sudo rpmkeys -i https://repo.mysql.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql-2023
sudo dnf install https://repo.mysql.com/mysql80-community-release-fc39.rpm
sudo dnf download mysql-workbench-community --repo=mysql\* --releasever=40
sudo dnf remove mysql80-community-release
sudo dnf install mysql-workbench-community-*.$(arch).rpm

Manual setup Opera RPM repository setup instructions

thx very much !

I’ll try in out later this evening and give you feedback

honestly I’ve to say, I’m new to the Fedora-World (since now I used LinuxMint an my engines, but the security concept of Fedora since much better to me)
