Below are a few noteworthy changes in the latest release of Fedora Workstation that we think you will love. Upgrade today from the official website, or upgrade your existing install using GNOME Software or through the terminal with dnf system-upgrade.

GNOME 50

Fedora Linux 44 Workstation also ships with the latest GNOME release, GNOME 50. This comes with a long list of refinements to your desktop. This includes everything from accessibility, to color management and remote desktop.

Many of the applications that are installed by default on the Fedora workstation have also seen improvements, from the Document Viewer to the File Manager and the Calendar.

To learn more about these and other changes, you can read the GNOME 50 release notes.

Wrap-up

Be sure to check out the Fedora Linux 44 Change Set wiki for even more details about all the features and changes that went into Fedora Linux 44. Use the Fedora Discussion forum or Fedora’s Matrix chat server if you want to converse with the Fedora community about this new release!

Then, presumably links will be added to the wrap-up.

@mclasen This article outline sounds good. The next step is to enter it in the WordPress site for the Fedora Magazine. Select “New” in the top menu to get started.

When you have the article completed, let us know and the editors will review it.

Thanks!

I’ve added the feature image for the article.

Please leave a note as a comment here when you have completed the article.

Should we add a sentence about digital wellbeing? I thought this was one of the key additions to Gnome 50.

Something like:

  • Digital Wellbeing: New native Parental Controls let you set screen time limits and bedtimes directly from Settings.

As an aside, I see GNOME Papers is still stuck at version 49 in Fedora 44. Will this be updated to version 50, or is the correct answer to install Evince on Fedora 44 if one needs highlighting and/or text annotations?

@glb @mclasen What is the URL for the referenced “Fedora Linux 44 Change Set wiki” ?

I’ve gone ahead an scheduled this for 14:00 UTC tomorrow. The link is (will be) What's New in Fedora Workstation 44 - Fedora Magazine. That link should work even now if you are signed in on the WP Engine site. You should still be able to make edits, but after it goes live, you will need to ask an editor if you want changes made.

I’d like to know about this too. Annotations was probably the biggest thing I was looking forward to in this upgrade cuz Papers is just a lot cleaner than Okular.

I believe asking for further information might be better here:
