Fedora Linux 29 beta has just been released

The cutting-edge Linux distribution Fedora has just released a beta version of Fedora 29. Many people think that a cutting-edge distribution like Fedora can be used by gentlemen like , however, it is available in three different versions:

Fedora Server, Fedora and Fedora Atomic Host (a container platform).fedora

The Fedora Linux project is the open source of Red Hat. Fedora is essentially a test distribution of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). So what you see today in Fedora you will see tomorrow in RHEL.

As usual, distribution has been updated with minor bug fixes and package modifications. Fedora 29 will run with the Linux 4.19 kernel that has not yet been released. Updated programs include: Python 3.7, Perl 5.28. glibc 2,28, Golang 1,11, and MySQL 8.

Fedora Workstation comes with GNOME 3.30 as default work. GNOME 3.30 is considered to perform better than earlier versions. It also features a new Podcasts app and automatically updates Flatpaks, Red Hat's container apps, from the Software Center.

The new one in this release is "modularity" for all versions of Fedora 29. With modularity, you can run multiple versions of the same program with contextual installation. So you can test beta applications in a container, and in what you use for your tasks to run stable versions.

According to Matthew Miller, the head of the Fedora project:

Software lifecycles are a major challenge for managing modern systems. Some apps need to be updated quickly so you can have the most features, while others require a slower update cycle to increase stability. With this distribution's approach to customization across Fedora releases, users can access improved flexibility across a wide range of use cases in current and future Fedora releases.

Historically, Fedora is very popular with developers. Linus Torvalds uses it to develop Linux. So modularity will make Fedora much more useful to developers.
