https://tilde.club/~passthejoe/zola/blog/fedora-44-atomic/<p><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-linux-44/">Fedora 44</a> is out, and for the past few releases, I haven't been able to figure out if <em>anything</em> new has been done with the Atomic distros, including Silverblue and Kinoite (and Sway, Budgie and Cosmic).</p>
<p>For F44, Timothée Ravier, who works at Red Hat and is the Atomic Desktops Maintainer, has posted <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://tim.siosm.fr/blog/2026/04/28/fedora-atomic-desktops-44/">What’s new for Fedora Atomic Desktops in Fedora 44</a>.</p>
<p>Things that are of interest to me:</p>
<ul>
<li><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/atomic-desktops/">New, unified documentation</a></li>
<li>GNOME 50 and Plasma 6.6</li>
<li>He recommends the <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://universal-blue.org/">Universal Blue</a> distros. I use <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://projectbluefin.io/">Bluefin</a> and appreciate all the tech from Fedora as well as the spirit of cooperation.</li>
</ul>
<p>TBH, I wish the list were longer, but it is what it is. I could see myself back with Silverblue or Kinoite, though Bluefin is running so well that it would be hard to switch.</p>
