The Fedora 45 Beta version has been officially released and entered the public testing phase. As a major annual update to Fedora Linux, this release features significant improvements in both the underlying architecture and the desktop environment: it replaces the traditional kernel console with KMSCON, adds support for the Stratis advanced storage management tool, strengthens system security mechanisms (such as enabling x86_64 Shadow Stack protection by default), and enhances the reproducibility of software builds. This version is scheduled for official release on October 20, 2026, maintaining the biannual iteration rhythm.
