Fedora 41 did not see big changes for Fedora Atomic Desktops, but we are certainly ramping up for the switch to bootc and being fully image-based!

Keep in mind that this is not the official release for Fedora nor for us. This is basically so you can try the beta and will require rebasing. Once Fedora does the stable release then we will work on transitioning all of our channels.
Another small update for Bluefin and Aurora! The main thing this go around is the addition of a new channel, the `stable-daily` channel. All about finding the update frequency sweet spot for folks. Please give us feedback on that channel!

More efficient updates coming your way with Bluefin and Aurora 3.4!
The main change is that those on the `latest` channel will have rechunk enabled, with this feature coming to `gts` and `stable` users after it's gotten more testing. Daily and weekly updates will be smaller!*
Goal is still to move to ztsd:chunked images - this is to help with the issue in the short term.

Fedora Atomic Desktops can make testing the Fedora 41 Beta a little easier. Follow these directions to try Fedora 41 on your system and rollback when you want to (or if something breaks 😅).

You know how with Fedora Atomic Desktops and Fedora CoreOS you can rebase to other images with rpm-ostree? With that you need to have an rpm-ostree system to start and then rebasing becomes available to you.
What if you could do the same starting from a regular Linux system and migrating to an atomic one? That's one feature being explored with bootc that Ben Breard talks about in this video!
