PayPalFedora Linux 43 has arrived for Fedora Workstation, Fedora KDE and other assorted flavours that use Fedora have also seen various upgrades.
There's a lot of the usual background upgrades bumping up the versions of various software included, but plenty of user-facing improvements too. Across different spins of Fedora, you should now see their newer Anaconda WebUI installer for example. GNOME in Fedora is also now Wayland-only coming in with GNOME 49 with all the goodies that gives you like a new video player, an improved GNOME Software app store and much more.
On the KDE side you get Plasma 6.4 which also has a whole lot new like per-workspace tiling options, accessibility upgrades, drawing tablet improvements and lots more.

One major background change is the swap over to RPM 6 for packages. This should be transparent to users, but comes with many benefits to security. And, starting with this release the installer will no longer support installing Fedora on disks that use Master Boot Record (MBR) while in UEFI boot mode on 32-bit x86 systems, it will instead enforce the use of the modern GUID Partition Table (GPT). This only affects new installs. Another seemingly small change, but one needed, is that the /boot partition has been bumped up to 2 GiB due to increasing sizes of everything like firmware, initramfs and more.
See more in the release notes. And various blog post announcements.
In case you missed it recently, we also had the news about Fedora officially allowing AI-assisted contributions. Which, going by all the comments and quotes on our Bluesky post, has not been received well at all.

THAT BEING SAID
Fedora Linux Project agrees to allow AI assisted contributions with a new policy
So you know...
...but after the ai update, I'll never consider it for anything ever again.
Given the amount of backlash they're seeing over it, I imagine they'll have changed tact by the time Fedora 44 comes out.
There was a point in time when I considered Fedora to be a great middle-ground distro between rolling releases and the slower stable releases, but after the ai update, I'll never consider it for anything ever again.
Don't worry, even with all the AI stuff, Fedora will still be more mature than CachyOS with its Zenity-based GUI tools. :-)
And Fedora Workstation (Silverblue) is 90% stock upstream GNOME (that does not allow AI based contributions) anyway. (Not sure about the KDE variant though, but I suppose it will be similar.)

Why can't they create an AI spin and call it FedorAI?
Because puns make some people unreasonably angry, and they probably get enough death threats as is.
