Fedora Linux 45 is presented as a release for desktop, server, cloud, and edge users, combining refreshed desktop environments with installer improvements and updated system software. Existing users can upgrade using Fedora’s documentation, while clean-install images are available for Workstation, KDE Plasma Desktop, Server, Cloud, CoreOS, and IoT. Users can also choose Atomic Desktops such as Silverblue and Kinoite, or community Spins including Cinnamon, Xfce, MATE, and COSMIC.
The key installer change is built-in support for Stratis storage in Anaconda. During a graphical installation, users can open Cockpit’s storage tools to create storage pools across drives and set up dynamically sized root and home filesystems. Automated deployments can configure Stratis through new Kickstart options. The release also updates GNOME, KDE Plasma, and other desktops, with improvements to performance, Wayland support, and fractional scaling, alongside newer developer tools, libraries, and kernel capabilities. Fedora highlights broader hardware support, laptop power-management improvements, and better container performance. One important compatibility change is the retirement of the NetworkManager VPNC and FortiSSLVPN plugins beginning with Fedora 45; users of those plugins need to migrate their VPN connections to supported alternatives. The announcement directs users to Fedora support forums and known-issue guidance if they encounter problems.
