Builds are generated for x86_64, Power64 and ARM64 (AArch64) architectures.
The most significant changes in Fedora Linux 43:
- Fedora Workstation desktop has been updated to GNOME branch 49.
- From the repositories Removedpackages used to run GNOME on top of the X server. All GNOME users who were using X11 will be forced to switch to a Wayland-based GNOME session. The ability to run X11 applications using XWayland remains unchanged.
- On systems with x86 architecture Only the ability to use GPT (GUID Partition Table) partition tables is retained in all Fedora installations using UEFI. Support for installing Fedora in UEFI mode on disks with MBR (Master Boot Record) partition tables has been discontinued on x86 systems, but remains on ARM and RISC-V systems.
- transition to the RPM 6 package manager has been completed, notable for its support for a new format that allows you to create packages larger than 4 GB. The default inclusion of package authentication tools using digital signatures introduced in RPM6 has been postponed until the release of Fedora 44.
- All spin assemblies have been transferred to a new version of the Anaconda installer, in which, instead of a GTK-based interface, a web interface is used that allows interaction via web browser for remote control of the installation. Last release, the new installer was rolled out to Fedora Workstation. Instead of the main screen with a list of actions in the new interface, work is organized in the form of a wizard (Wizard), which involves sequential execution of certain steps without returning to the main screen. The basic option is an automated (guided) disk partitioning mode, in which the installer himself selects the parameters for creating or changing partitions based on the settings selected by the user. There are options for reinstalling the distribution and installing in dual boot mode on systems with multiple OSes.
