Fedora is known for offering a cutting-edge technology experience on the Linux. Other distributions often use many new technologies that are first implemented by that operating system. It is also known as the testing ground for RHEL, as Red Hat provides the newest features to Fedora users before pushing them to RHEL.
Following the same trend, the Red Hat-backed operating system has just received its latest update, in the form of Fedora 29. Next week also marks 15 years since the initial release of Fedora Core 1, so it's something special.
What makes Fedora 29 even more exciting is that it is the first release to include the Modularity feature across all different versions. With the Modularity feature, developers can port different versions of a package to the same base. You can choose a version of the software that suits your needs.
Another big change that will definitely be noticeable to users is GNOME 3.30 which comes with its own set of features and changes. It goes without saying that a large number of open source packages are now being updated.
Fedora 29 also marks the first release of the Silverblue variant. It is the new face of Project Atomic's Fedora Atomic Workstation. Focusing on container-based workflows, this Workstation edition is aimed at developers. You can read more about it here.
If you are already using Fedora, simply update your system with the latest features. In case you want to install a new image, go ahead and download it from here.
