The Fedora team has announced the release of a new snapshot of the distribution. The Fedora 34 distribution comes with a number of major changes, such as GNOME 40, the replacement of PulseAudio with PipeWire, and the default Btr file system that allows transparent inclpressure.

This increases the duration media life performed flash by reducing amplification enrollments for solid-state disks. This compression improves read, write and performance for larger files, potentially saving significant time in workflows. With a foundation for future improvements, we aim to keep adding to these features in future releases.
