CISA has added CVE-2026-43456, a Linux kernel local privilege escalation vulnerability, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog following confirmed in-the-wild exploitation. Here's everything covering the affected kernel versions, the vulnerability itself, which distributions have shipped fixes, and the available mitigations. If you're maintaining Linux systems, it may be worth checking whether your kernel has already been updated by your distro. Patch Now.

I just installed fedora kde and I want to enable the drivers for my rtx 3060 12vram but I have a hard time finding a guide online. Any help?

I have faced some issues concerning "no bootable device found" i searched several fixes where people said i should turn off secure boot and turn on legacy boot, i did all those but never worked, so thereby i had to install fedora again and could not retrieve my data. is there a way to prevent this from happening again?

Hello family, I'm new to Fedora. I'm a mobile development student and I'm a bit in love with Fedora, so I installed Fedora Workstation and Fedora Server in VMs. I have some basic knowledge of Debian, but since it's not the same family... If you have any advice, I'm all ears! Also, I'm a native French speaker, so I'm using a translator. Thanks, everyone!

My post was removed because it didn't follow the rules, sorry for my oversight 🙇🏾 and thank you to the admins 🙏🏾

Hace dos meses decidí cambiarme a Linux definitivamente después de ser usuario de Windows, específicamente Windows 11. Al principio le di 70gb de mi SSD a Linux (tengo un SSD de 512GB, pero Windows ocupaba mucho, además no había eliminado espacio), solo para probar, instalar herramientas y navegar, después de 3 semanas me gusto estar en Linux, me acople fácilmente, la distribución que probé es Fedora 44 Work Station; pero el espacio ya se me estaba agotando, entonces decidí volver a windows para quitarle más espacio y asignárselo a Fedora (dejé windows solo por un juego que no corría en linux), elimine 50gb y el proceso que seguí fue:

1. Reducir el volumen de windows 50GB para que quede ese espacio libre.
2. Instalar la ISO Live de Fedora 44 desde la página oficial.
3. Bootear mi USB con la ISO de Fedora
4. Iniciar desde el Live ISO USB y usar gparted para mover la partición /boot y expandir la partición de Fedora.

Ahora Fedora tenía 120GB y Windows se quedo con 356GB (de los 512GB, 476 son usables). Ahora, 5 semanas después de eso y dos meses de uso de Fedora como SO principal. He eliminado casi todas las aplicaciones de Windows, incluso desactive algunas opciones como hibernación, paginación, inicio rápido (este ya estaba desactivado), etc. Ahora dejé windows con 235GB aprox. Y liberé 120GB más para Fedora, así quedaban mitad y mitad cada uno aprox. Hice el mismo proceso que la primera vez

1. Reducir el volumen de windows 120GB para que quede ese espacio libre.
2. Instalar la ISO Live de Fedora 44 desde la página oficial.
3. Bootear mi USB con la ISO de Fedora
4. Iniciar desde el Live ISO USB y usar gparted para mover la partición /boot y expandir la partición de Fedora

Pero está vez no funcionó. La partición /boot si se movió satisfactoriamente, pero al intentar expandir la partición de Fedora, falló, GParted solo mostró errores como:

ERROR: unknown key (1861997 37 1280000) found in leaf 211373359104

...

Volví a Fedora para verificar que no se haya corrompido nada, y enhorabuena que no paso nada con mis datos (aunque tengo snapshots, no hay tanto problema), Fedora sigue teniendo 120GB, Windows se quedó con 235GB, la partición de /boot se movió y el sistema de particiones está algo así:

Windows (253 GB)

├── p3 NTFS

/boot (2 GB)

├── p4 ext4

120 GB LIBRES

├── espacio sin asignar

Fedora (120 GB)

├── p5 Btrfs

Recovery (892 MB)

├── p6 NTFS

Hay alguna forma de solucionar ese error? He probado pidiéndole ayuda a Claude y no funcionó. Me indicó que lo intentará desde la terminal con las herramientas de parted, btrfs, dd, y otras cosas;

no llegamos a nada y volví al estado inicial. Mi objetivo es lograr expandir la partición de Fedora.

After years of using Windows, I finally decided to make the leap to Fedora Linux 44. I’ve been using this laptop for a while, but I reached a breaking point with Windows 11.

The main reason for the switch was just how much memory Windows 11 was consuming while the system was idling. It felt like the OS was constantly running background processes I didn't need, which left me with very little headroom for my actual work. It was frustrating to see so much of my resources tied up just to keep the desktop environment running.

Since switching to Fedora, the difference has been night and day. The system feels incredibly snappy, and it’s a relief to see my resources being used efficiently instead of being consumed by background bloat. I’m still finding my way around (just learned how to get my terminal set up!), but the experience so far has been fantastic.

How do you guys setup snapper? Any specific partition layout or is the default Fedora one fine? I rely on my computer working as expected (not giving me a black screen after an update) and Fedora is the ultimate sweet spot except for Nvidia, thus why I need snapper, I'm currently on Kubuntu but lsblk being so polluted with loops and the kubuntu-desktop metapackage not letting me debloat properly without a huge headache is so annoying, also I feel like apt is archaic when compared to dnf

Edit: forgot to include version, it's 44 KDE

Okay so I'm gonna just vent a little bit. I am still new to fedora, I started with 41 and now I'm happily playing around in 43. Like most people i made the switch because windows 11 was literally scraping pieces of my soul away and ill being 100% i was scared to make the switch to linux because i have always been a windows and well mac guy. that being said making the swtich started this journey for me and i have learned so much in just a short span of time from learning how to make a full copy of my windows PC and store it on an external SSD to using the ventoy tool and booting into fedora for the first time. I have become more comfortable in the terminal now that i have ever been and watching progress happen via terminal at least for me is a special kind of exhilaration because i never thought of myself as a computer guy. i'm all in though being in the Linux family has given me the confidence to do my own coding projects my own maintenance both on the software and hardware side. I love it i have tried a few other distros via gnome boxes and i like a few but fedora is the one for me. I still have so much to learn but I guess what i'm getting at is this is the best experience with a computer i have had in decades and im so glad i made the switch.
if there ae any gurus with some advice on how to learn more or improve my linux journey please comment and lay some knowledge on me :) thanks in advance

I'm currently running Fedora 44 with an AlphaCool Core block on an XFX 7900 XTX, and everything has been great. Temps, frame-rates, updates, etc. No issues at all.

However, I'm in the process of cleaning and rebuilding my custom H2o loop, so I have the opportunity to switch to a 4080 Founders Edition with an EK Quantum block.

Question: Because I'm running Fedora, should I stick with the 7900 XTX (24GB) or move to the 4080 (16GB)?

System Specs:

• Asus ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Extreme
• Ryzen 9 5950X
• 64GB Corsair Vengeance 3600MHz
• 2x 2TB Samsung 990 Pro NVMe's
• LG 45-inch Ultragear 5K2K monitor
• Corsair 7000D Airflow with dual 480mm rads, a 140mm rad, 7x 140mm fans, 4x 120mm fans, and a 360mm pump/resevoir combo.

Thanks for your feedback/thoughts in advance.

I installed fedora 44 workstation with gnome. Adding online accounts for gmail but there is no email client?

I am so happy to have switched.

Formerly used Bazzite (Which is based on Fedora), switched to Fedora KDE Edition (44). And I just could not be happier.

Finally got to customize my DE, got everything like I want it.

I'm also surprised over how well my Nvidia RTX4060Ti is working with it all. Gaming has been close to flawless so far.

Any suggestions for a newbie like me? Any cool projects or recommendations for some software I should be aware of?

Either way, I am thankful for Fedora, and I finally get why so many like it now. Thats all.

Hi, I often use Discord with my friends to chat and play, but I've encountered a problem: push-of-talk doesn't work when Discord is in the background. I've looked at and tried to fix the problem, but I can't. Vdeskop, the alternative client, doesn't have push-of-talk, and there are various solutions. One of them is to switch from Wastland to x11, but I've read that x11 isn't very compatible with games. Is this a KDE problem? Will changing the desktop environment solve the problem?
