These are installs which "include all the components needed to create a fully verified boot chain, from the firmware to the operating system composefs image."

Please give them a try and give us feedback.

Lastly, here is how you can rebase to Fedora 44 from Silverblue or other Atomic Desktops. 🙂

The changes made to the mainline variants of these desktops apply, like Gnome 50 and KDE Plasma 6.6. There are also some changes that may affect you if you use AppImages or KDE Vault. Budgie Atomic and COSMIC Atomic are also updated.

However, the best news is how Atomics Desktops continue to evolve toward running as bootable containers as we target Fedora 45 for migrating to Image Builder!

Definitely, would like to upgrade from 43 to 44 soon.
@kde extension, managed by is not yet updated for @gnome 50. Either update the same at earliest or at least confirm that it's abandoned.

Just upgraded from 43 to 44 with GNOME 50. Smooth. Beautiful. I mean, why businesses, government and schools do not move over completely to linux at this point is beyond me. This is not the days of Slackware or even Warty Warthog (Ubuntu 4.10).

Thank you Fedora for doing what you do.
