The Fedora Linux 41 beta was released today[1]. The Fedora CoreOS next stream has been rebased and is currently rolling out. This is a preview of what is coming to the testing and stable streams when Fedora Linux 41 is released in the coming months.
For more information about Fedora 41, see the Fedora Project’s list of official Changes[2] and the Fedora CoreOS analysis of each Change[3].
The following changes require attention:
- In Fedora 41 CoreOS is dropping Wi-Fi firmware packages that were split into subpackages of linux-firmware[4]. If you are currently using Wi-Fi, see the documentation for how to keep it enabled[5].
- Composefs is now enabled by default[6]. Pay special attention to the known issues[7].
- In systemd v256 cgroups v1 support was disabled. If you’ve opted out of the cgroups v2 migration in the past, your system will fail to boot after upgrading.
- moby-engine/Docker was updated in Fedora from version 24 to version 27. Please see the notes[8] with each release of moby and also the deprecated/removed features page[9] to see if there is any noteworthy changes for your use cases.
Please test out the next stream and report any issues in our issue tracker[10]!
