The Fedora Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Fedora 25, the next big step [on] our journey into the containerized, modular future!
Fedora is a global community that works together to lead the advancement of free and open source software. As part of the community's mission the project delivers three editions, each one a free, Linux-based operating system tailored to meet specific use cases: Fedora 25 Atomic Host, Fedora 25 Server, and Fedora 25 Workstation.
Each edition is built from a common set of base packages, which form the foundation of the Fedora operating system. As with all new versions of Fedora, Fedora 25 provides many bug fixes and tweaks to these underlying components, as well as new and enhanced packages, including:
- Docker 1.12 for building and running containerized applications
- Node.js 6.9.1, the latest version of the popular server-side JavaScript engine
- Support for Rust, a faster and more stable system programming language
- Multiple Python versions — 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 — to help run test suites across several Python configurations, as well as PyPy, PyPy3, and Jython
You can get Fedora 25 from getfedora.org. It is shipping with the Linux 4.8 kernel. The default environment is Gnome 3.22 with the Wayland display server. I did a DNF upgrade from release 24 and tested it with my Intel and Radeon setup and everything has just worked out of the box. If you aren't a fan of Gnome, there are other Desktop Environments available, called Spins. Enjoy!

I would have been dollars-to-donuts that the first comment, were it not a troll comment, would mention systemd. But there are two, and they don't!!

Modular? So you mean I can just swap the systemd module out on Fedora 25?

Okay, I'll bite: for server scenarios systemd sucks. It's really not bad for home use though. I run Arch (because seriously as much as I love Gentoo, SCREW compiling on mobile Core 2 Duo...) and it's never given me trouble. Servers I run tend to be sysvinit-based or *BSD these days though.

There's nothing to bite on here. It's just that EVERY story about linux or BSD distribution almost always has a systemd comment right off the bat. It is just reassuring to see it not happen so quickly. Must be because people went out of town early this week.
