The release switches PackageKit to the DNF5 backend, ahead of mainline Fedora 44. New hardware support includes Mac Pro, working microphones on M2 Pro/Max MacBooks, and 120Hz refresh rates on MacBook Pro 14 and 16. Fresh installs require a single curl command via the Asahi installer, and existing users can upgrade via Plasma Discover or dnf system-upgrade. ## Content Fedora Asahi Remix 43 is out, bringing Fedora Linux 43 to Apple Silicon Macs with a handful of meaningful hardware and software improvements. ## What's new The flagship desktop is KDE Plasma 6.6, which adds OCR support in Spectacle, a new on-screen keyboard, and a first-run setup wizard. A GNOME 49 variant is also available, along with a Fedora Server variant and a Minimal image for those who want something leaner. On the package management side, this release ships RPM 6.0 with post-quantum cryptography support and switches PackageKit to the DNF5 backend. That's actually ahead of mainline Fedora, which is expected to make the same move in Fedora 44. The kernel is Linux 6.17. ## Hardware support - **Mac Pro** support is new in this release - **Microphones** now work on M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBooks - **120Hz refresh rates** are supported on MacBook Pro 14 and 16 models M1 and M2 series Macs are supported broadly. ## Installing or upgrading Fresh installs on Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13.5 or later require a single `curl` command from the Asahi installer. Users already on Fedora Asahi Remix 41 or 42 can upgrade through Plasma Discover or `dnf system-upgrade`. ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@khauma** · 0 upvotes > This project has been a blessing. --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#fedora](https://daily.dev/tags/fedora) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/fedora-asahi-remix-43-released-with-mac-pro-support-and-120hz-display-585wumr9y) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Fedora Asahi Remix 43 released with Mac Pro support and 120Hz display","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/fedora-asahi-remix-43-released-with-mac-pro-support-and-120hz-display-585wumr9y","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/fedora-asahi-remix-43-released-with-mac-pro-support-and-120hz-display-585wumr9y"},"datePublished":"2026-03-18T15:56:01.408Z","dateModified":"2026-03-19T12:40:50.193Z","description":"Fedora Asahi Remix 43 brings Fedora Linux 43 to Apple Silicon Macs with notable updates including KDE Plasma 6.6, GNOME 49, Linux kernel 6.17, and RPM 6.0 with...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/e9401f1816a4022e933db37e2d3d5473?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/e9401f1816a4022e933db37e2d3d5473?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collections","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Collections","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--fk_6ycEi--/f_auto,q_auto/v1780996001/logos/collections?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},"commentCount":1,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/fedora-asahi-remix-43-released-with-mac-pro-support-and-120hz-display-585wumr9y","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":5},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":1}],"keywords":"linux,fedora","timeRequired":"PT1M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collections","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Fedora Asahi Remix 43 released with Mac Pro support and 120Hz display"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/fedora-asahi-remix-43-released-with-mac-pro-support-and-120hz-display-585wumr9y","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","text":"This project has been a blessing.","datePublished":"2026-03-18T18:56:26.921Z","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/585WUMr9y#c-vwatht08H","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Kahlil Wallace","url":"https://daily.dev/khauma","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--QvppE9Ip--/f_auto/v1767378558/avatars/avatar_7eQFeSQRDx0muV3n92gxT?_a=BAMAK+ZW0"}}]} ```
