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.

Again, you (and the people freaking out) are missing the point
Someone doesn't agree with you, so they're "freaking out". Why? "For no reason". What else, oh yeah, they're "missing the point".
Aye okay. Ignore all the perfectly valid reasons that many, many people have for despising AI. That's it's driving job losses. That's it's unethically produced. That it's driving a move away from green energy back towards nuclear. That it produces slop that actually reduces productivity. It's consolidating wealth in big tech. It makes you dumber.
I could go on. I wrote a short article on my own website: https://www.scaine.net/site/2025/06/the-ethics-of-ai-june-2025/ [External Link]
But ignore all that. We're missing the point. Somehow. 100%.

I think ssj17vegeta was being practical. It goes without saying that folks are using AI to develop open source that is landing in Linux distributions. That is just a fact.
I don't think you're going to get away from AI in Linux until someone forks a distribution to explicitly remove any AI contributions. Good luck identifying them all.
FWIW I'm not a big fan of AI either. I write enough lousy code myself. I don't need AI piling on.

Many things get automated gradually and free time of the people increase. We can then do things machines never could. Much humanitarian work to do on this planet if you haven't noticed. Maybe step outside for a while or take a trip to another all different country and realize. More time with family then too.
AI is not all doom and gloom. We can't control everything, it is what it is and people do what people do. How many people can control themselves 100% 24/7 and by what specifications set by who or what?
There was a study done that found it seemed to make people slower at coding . . . but they thought it made them fasterThere's a link to that study in my article which I linked in an earlier comment. It's fascinating, the disparity between what they thought would happen and the recorded results.
