Fedora Linux 45 is formally released on Tuesday, 3 November, after being declared a 'GO' at the latest Go/No-Go meeting. The release had missed two earlier target dates, first due to the release candidate not being composed in time, then due to blocker bugs that were subsequently fixed. RC 1.4 install images are available ahead of the official mirror sync. _Teams planning upgrade windows can track Fedora 45's rollout details on daily.dev._ ### What software versions ship with Fedora Linux 45? Fedora Linux 45 ships with GNOME 51 for Fedora Workstation, Go 1.27, Python 3.15, GCC 16.2, Glibc 2.44, LLVM 23, and RPM 6.1. It also replaces the in-kernel console with KMSCON, adds Stratis Storage support to the Anaconda installer, and improves support for Qualcomm Snapdragon X laptops. _Developers tracking toolchain bumps like Go 1.27 or GCC 16.2 can follow updates on daily.dev._ ### What security changes are in Fedora Linux 45? Fedora Linux 45 restricts ptrace by default for better security and enforces signature checking by default. It also expects package builds to be reproducible and introduces the DRM Panic front-end, which gives a more convenient experience if a kernel problem occurs. _Admins hardening Linux defaults can keep up with distro security changes via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Fedora 45 Will Not Be Released Next Week](https://daily.dev/posts/fedora-45-will-not-be-released-next-week-gbxxv3eko) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Fedora 45 Hits A Second NO-GO: Not Releasing Until November](https://daily.dev/posts/fedora-45-hits-a-second-no-go-not-releasing-until-november-tiwi3irrq) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 1 comments - [The Fedora Linux 44 Release is Here\!](https://daily.dev/posts/the-fedora-linux-44-release-is-here--yijseof80) · Fedora Magazine · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/fedora-linux-45-shipping-next-week-on-3-november-8fzl27koh) ```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 Linux 45 Shipping Next Week On 3 November","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/fedora-linux-45-shipping-next-week-on-3-november-8fzl27koh","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/fedora-linux-45-shipping-next-week-on-3-november-8fzl27koh"},"datePublished":"2026-10-29T22:06:03.809Z","dateModified":"2026-10-29T22:08:37.616Z","description":"Fedora Linux 45 ships Tuesday, 3 November, after missing two earlier target dates over blocker bugs.
