Announcing Fedora 23

Fedora Project is pleased to announce the immediate release of Fedora 23, the latest incarnation of our community-built Linux-based operating system.

A year ago, we had our first release to feature three different editions — Fedora Workstation, Fedora Server, and Fedora Cloud — each custom-fit for your needs in these different areas. Versions are also available in Spins, Labs, Arm. Now, we're pleased to bring you the latest main versions of each of these.

Fedora Workstation

If you're a laptop or home user, hobbyist, enthusiast, student, or a software developer, Fedora Workstation is perfect for you. Fedora Workstation includes the newest release of the GNOME desktop, which makes your everyday computing simple, polished, and pleasant. Experience the sleek interface and powerful tools for yourself -- download Fedora Workstation now!

Fedora Server

Fedora Server makes service management simple with RoleKit, a programmatic interface for quick deployment, and Cockpit, a remote web GUI. Now in Fedora Server 23, you can manage Kubernetes clusters from the Cockpit Admin Console, or launch a FreeIPA domain controller from a kickstart file. Get Fedora Server this morning and have an identity management solution in place by lunchtime.

Fedora Cloud

Build scale-out computing with Fedora Cloud. The Fedora Cloud Base image provides a minimal OS platform which can be downloaded for use in OpenStack, or launched directly into EC2. Fedora Atomic Host takes things in a more radical direction, providing a specialized system for running Docker containers and Atomic Apps. Now with Fedora 23, Fedora Atomic host will be updated on a two-week cycle to keep at the edge of emerging technology.

Spins, Labs, and ARM

Fedora is also available for several purpose:

Fedora Spins are alternative desktops for Fedora that provide a different experience than the standard Fedora Workstation edition. For instance, the Fedora KDE and Fedora Xfce spins provide popular alternatives to GNOME for Fedora users who enjoy the KDE or Xfce experience.

There's a new spin in town for Fedora 23. Want a classic take on a modern desktop? If so, the Cinnamon spin may just be what you're hoping to find. Fedora 23 includes a spin that tries to emulate the GNOME 2 experience using GNOME Shell from GNOME 3.x. Learn more at Cinnamon.

Sugar on a Stick is a stand-alone implementation of the desktop environment originally designed for the One Laptop per Child project. Fedora's SoaS spin has been updated to Sugar 0.106, for better performance, updated activities, and a new "social help" feature for collaborative learning. Get Fedora 23 Spins.

Fedora Labs are curated software collections. You can find updated live media focused on Games, Design, Robotics, and more. Get Fedora 23 Labs.
