Fedora Workstation 35 will have many Red Hat Upstream Contributions.
♞ Coming up on 9TO5Linux ♞
According to a new post by Christian Schaller, Senior Manager for Desktop at Red Hat, Fedora
Workstation 35 will have many Upstream contributions from Red Hat.
Hopefully, Fedora Workstation 35 will be released in late October (currently the beta is late)
and when it does, it will once again be at the forefront of Linux features.
Thanks to Red Hat's upstream focus, many of these changes are now in the respective upstream
repositories around the Linux kernel, GNOME and other affected components.
Fedora Workstation 35 is shaping up to be another big release for those interested in
a feature-rich desktop experience. The Fedora Workstation 35 test builds have
worked very well on the few systems the Phoronix site has tried so far in the lab. And, he
says, more Fedora Workstation 35 tests and benchmarks will be released in the coming
weeks.
Now, in anticipation of the upcoming Fedora 35 Beta, Red Hat's Christian Schaller has
once again posted a new post highlighting some of the big changes to the Fedora workstation
for this six-month update.
And here's a look at some of the Fedora Workstation 35 highlights:
Much improved support for NVIDIA's proprietary driver stack with Wayland. Red Hat continues
to cooperate with NVIDIA to better support (X) Wayland.
Outside of NVIDIA driver support, there also continue to be a variety of other Wayland
improvements with GNOME and Fedora Workstation 35 itself.
High-resolution mouse wheel support, which we've touched on a few times in the past few
weeks thanks to upstream's libinput work. PipeWire continues to mature very well to
handle audio and video streams on Linux and has successfully replaced JACK and PulseAudio.
PipeWire has so far been a resounding success and continues to improve with each new release.
Driven by the needs of RHEL, GNOME now has a “kiosk mode” aimed at information panels,
cash registers, ATMs, and other similar use cases. This is a lightweight mode now also
available on Fedora Workstation 35. Privacy screen support along with upstream
kernel features to enable this support found on newer laptops.
Integration of power profile support (ACPI platform profiles) into the GNOME desktop.
Red Hat/Fedora continues to monitor the progress of Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan for when they can
focus only on sending Vulkan drivers. Adam Jackson of Red Hat has been working on Penny
as part of that effort. Improve handling of third-party software within
Fedora and clean up various aspects of it. Finally, visit Christian's blog for a full
view of Fedora Workstation 35 highlights.
