Fedora Linux 44 Beta is out and all the Atomic Desktops variants are ready for testing: https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-linux-44-beta/

We have two important removals for this cycle:
- Dropping FUSE2 libraries and thus support for AppImages that require them.
- Dropping old polkit pkla rules support

Latest GNOME, KDE Plasma and Budgie releases are also ready.

I just installed Publii (a static site generator) using the appImage. This will not work anymore in Fedora 44? I thought it was a good idea, because this way I don't have to layer the rpm-package anymore.

@Scott_Trakker I don't know, it depends on what runtime they're using for their AppImage. It looks like they are also offering an RPM that could be installed in a toolbox and Flatpak support is in progress https://github.com/GetPublii/Publii/issues/1966.

Thanks!

When I install the RPM-package in a toolbox, I can also only executed it from inside the toolbox?

@Scott_Trakker You can export the desktop entry and update it to run the application. Distrobox also has integration for that. The Application will run in the container but it still has access to all your files.

Ah, okay, thanks!

If the appImage doesn't work anymore in Fedora 44, then I think I will go back to layering the file. I will wait until they have created the Flatpak.
