Today, 22 November 2016, the Fedora Project team officially announced the release of the new Fedora 25 operating system. Open Source is running for six months. But today it is available for download but only for the Workstation version, which comes with the GNOME 3.22 interface preloaded.
Fedora in version 25, replaces the old one X11 server with the new Wayland. The goal of the developers of the operating system is to provide a smoother, richer experience for the end user when navigating the new Fedora Workstation, as stated by Paul W. Frields, former leader of the Fedora Project.
“You can still choose the old X11 server if required. After choice of the login user, use the settings icon to change display server. But this new display server is designed to keep pace with modern operating system and hardware.”
To mention that Wayland is currently not for games, which means if you want to play you should switch to X.Org (X11) display server especially the very demanding games.
Among other notable changes that the new operating system brings are: the addition of a new tooly called Fedora Media Writer, που υπόσχεται να την δημιουργία live USB sticks από ISO. To νέο Fedora προσφέρει υποστήριξη για αναπαραγωγή αρχείων MP3, και βελτιωμένη υποστήριξη για universal Flatpak binary packages.
The issue of compatibility with GNOME Shell extensions has finally been corrected, which means that old plugins will be fully supported on the Fedora 25 Workstation. As for Fedora 25 Spins, there are available: KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS, Xfce 4.12, MATE 1.16, Cinnamon 3.2, and LXDE.
The new Fedora 25 Linux uses the latest Linux 4.8 kernel.
