The Fedora team has announced the release of Fedora 43.

Notable changes, according to Fedora project leader Jef Spaleta, are:

• Anaconda WebUI is now the default installer interface for Fedora Linux 43 Spins.
• GNOME is now Wayland-only. “GNOME upstream has deprecated X11 support, and has disabled it as a compile time default in GNOME 49. Upstream GNOME plans to fully remove X11 support in GNOME 50,” Spaleta says.
• Fedora Linux 43 is the first release featuring RPM 6.0. “RPM 6.0 provides some interesting security enhancements, like multiple key signing of packages. This should help future-proof package signing as we transition to post-quantum-crypto OpenPGP keys in future releases,” Spaleta notes.

Additionally, as of Fedora 43, Fedora CoreOS updates will be delivered exclusively as OCI images, instead of using an OSTree repository.
