Gnome 3.28 is default with Wayland now, and we'll see if support exists for anything else.ĭeprecation of KDE. Replacing all of Xorg with Wayland to drive graphics is a tricky and somewhat inconsequential move if you ask me, but this was contributed by the community. While you can order machines from Dell and HP with RHEL pre-installed, you may not notice the difference here. While it's not common to use graphics on a server, don't forget that RHEL Workstation is available, and it could always be the year of the Linux Desktop. While these are my favourite changes there are in fact some more intrusive changes: Some people consider it bloat, but I think this support will go down well. Cockpit management comes out of the box and it's matured nicely. Aside from the kernel, patching is much simpler as YUM is now backed by DNF, meaning installing and patching is quicker and easier to maintain.

Unfortunately this timing came just as Linus Torvalds pulled the trigger on 5.0, which you can still run with Fedora 28 but will probably need to wait for RHEL users. What am I looking for in RHEL 8?įor starters, the RHEL Linux kernel finally catches up to major releases from 3.10.x to 4.18.
#HOW TO RUN FEDORA 28 WORKSTATION ON WINDOWS DOCKER SOFTWARE#
The great news is a lot of great community software that may not all be very stable suddenly gets hardened and closely maintained by the Red Hat team which means at least my experience that Fedora 28 is about as stable as you would expect a rock-hard enterprise OS to be. When Fedora releases get selected for RHEL It's a bit like selecting a Pope to me. With Fedora major releases are on a 6 month cycle, I even threw gas into a flame war back in 2017. As a big fan, I've been using it daily ever since. Fedora 28 was released on, exactly one year before I'm typing this. Did you realize it forms the basis of VMWare virtualization, Cisco networking, and firewall and network intrusion detection appliances? Given Fedora is the upstream of this, we've actually been able to use the core of RHEL 8 for a year. As it forms the basis for upcoming RHEL 8 I'll cover what technical changes to look for, how your Hashicorp usage might be affected, and how Enterprise Linux goes from a baby Fedora release, earns its right of passage, and gets crowned to be an industry standard release that becomes RHEL, CentOS, Oracle Enterprise Linux, Amazon Linux, and more distributions used around the world and in the cloud. Fedora 28 was released on (Happy Birthday Fedora 28). There are thousands of distributions and releases available, and you may dismiss this as you use different sources, but don't dismiss the reach of this RHEL lifecycle.

Most cloud hypervisors are running on its KVM virtualization as well. An insecure or unpatched system at your airline or bank can make or break your day pretty quickly. Even if you're not into tech, Linux is busy running the bulk of information services and apps you use including telecom, media, transportation, banking, and industry. Whether you're aware or not, RHEL supports you every day.
