Fedora Linux 42 has been officially launched today, marking a significant advancement in the Fedora ecosystem. This version is identical to the previously released RC 1.1 release candidate and introduces several notable features. One of the highlights is the elevation of KDE Plasma Desktop to "Edition" status, indicating the KDE team's commitment to refining and bug-fixing this popular desktop environment. Additionally, Fedora 42 now includes COSMIC, a modern desktop environment created entirely in Rust by System76, broadening the options for users seeking a contemporary interface.
The release also boasts a redesigned installation interface that is both sleek and user-friendly, evoking the charm of the "Heart of Gold." For a detailed breakdown of new features, users can refer to the release notes and "What's New?" articles available on Fedora Magazine.
