The Fedora Project announced the availability of Fedora Asahi Remix 40 distribution today. This distribution has been developed in collaboration with Fedora Asahi SIG and the Asahi Linux project specifically for Apple Silicon Macs.
Fedora Asahi Remix 40 is built upon the Fedora Linux 40 operating system and the KDE Plasma 6 desktop environment series. The OS brings conformant OpenGL 4.6 support to Apple Silicon, high-quality audio out of the box, and a custom initial setup wizard based on the Calamares graphical installer.
Following up on the report from December last year when Fedora Asahi Remix was officially released for Apple Silicon Macs, users can now experience all features of KDE Plasma 6 desktop environment.
Fedora Asahi Remix 40 is also accessible with a variant featuring GNOME desktop environment. This variant has the latest GNOME 46 desktop environment series and is a suitable choice for those not preferring KDE Plasma on their Apple Silicon Macs.
Moreover, there’s now a Fedora Server variant of Fedora Asahi Remix for those who want to turn their Apple Silicon Macs into servers or for other types of headless deployments, as well as a Minimal image for Apple Silicon Mac users who want to build their own, custom Fedora Asahi Remix experience from the ground up.
Fedora Asahi Remix 40 can be installed right now on supported Apple Silicon Macs using these instructions. Existing Fedora Asahi Remix 39 users can upgrade their installations following the official Fedora Linux upgrade process.
Fedora Asahi Remix is currently supported on MacBook Air M1 and M2, MacBook Pro M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M2, M2 Pro, and M2 Max, Mac Mini M1, M2, and M2 Pro, Mac Studio M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2 Max, and M2 Ultra, as well as iMac M1 devices. For more details, check out the official website.
