14 DAY TRIAL // Today, November 17, 2016, the second and final Fedora 25 Final Go/No-Go Meeting has taken place, and Fedora Project's development team have finally approved the Fedora 25 Linux operating system for landing on November 22.
As reported last week right here in this space, the highly anticipated Fedora 25 operating system was delayed a second time during the first Fedora 25 Final Go/No-Go Meeting, due to a bug that would not allow the GRUB bootloader to be displayed when installing the Linux-based operating system alongside Mac OS X.
Long story short, it now looks like that bug is history, and today's meeting was very positive, ending with the approval of the final Fedora 25 release, which will be officially unveiled next Tuesday, November 22, 2016. As expected, Fedora 25 will ship with the latest GNU/Linux technologies and Open Source applications.
"At the second round of Fedora 25 Final Go/No-Go Meeting, has just been Fedora 25 Final compose 1.3 declared as GOLD. GA of this release is planned on Tuesday 2016-November-22," said Jan Kurik, Platform & Fedora Program Manager, Red Hat. "Thanks everyone who participated on this release!"
Fedora 25 will ship with a lot of goodies
One of the most exciting new features of the Fedora 25 Linux operating system will be a new option in the right-click context menu of the GNOME desktop environment that will allow users with hybrid graphics configurations (Intel/Nvidia or Intel/AMD) to run applications or games with the discrete graphics card.
Of course, users will get the very recent kernel from the Linux 4.8 series, an evolved Wayland session in the Workstation edition, the most advanced KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment, and all the newest software releases, including LibreOffice 5.2 and Mozilla Firefox 50.0, even it they'll arrive as 0-day updates in the repos.
