The Fedora Project has announced the release of Fedora 44. The new version of the distribution brings changes to the system installer, updates the Workstation desktop environments to GNOME 50 and Plasma 6.6, and improves the handling of OpenSSL certificate files.
“For those of you installing new releases of Fedora Linux 44 Spins, you may notice a change in the way Anaconda manages network devices. Anaconda now creates network profiles only for devices configured during installation (via boot options, kickstart, or interactively in the UI) instead of providing default profiles for all devices.
This change will simplify post-installation network configuration for users who need post-installation customization.
Fedora Linux 44 Workstation comes with the latest version of GNOME, GNOME 50. This brings a long list of improvements to your desktop, from accessibility to color management and remote desktop.
Many of the applications installed by default in Fedora Workstation have improvements, from the Document Viewer to the File Manager and Calendar.
To learn more about these and other changes, you can read the GNOME 50 release notes.

Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
