Hey Stargazers,
New stable update is now rolling out! This is the first stable stream update based on Fedora 44.
Check out the previous release announcement for all the goodies.
This update has the 6.19.14 kernel with backported patches for CopyFail2 and DirtyFrag exploits that were discovered last week.
Hey Stargazers,
Fedora 44 releases today (Tuesday 28th) and we have enabled Fedora 44 based builds of Aurora on our latest stream, which is aimed at enthusiasts who want the latest and greatest.
Users who are already on the latest stream will be automatically updated to the new base or you can run ujust update if you don't want to wait :).
Current :beta users may want to rebase to :latest now as we will be turning beta builds off in the coming weeks.
Hello Stargazers!
The 6 month release cycle for Fedora is once again near us and Fedora has released Fedora 44 Beta.
Aurora is also starting its beta cycle and today our beta stream is once again active.
Update 03.04.2026: Nvidia images are now available on the beta stream!
Hello, Stargazers!
This post is relevant if you happen to be running either our stable-daily or latest stream and affects images from 6th of March.
One upstream package — rpm-ostree — was updated to version 2026.1 last week, and that version contains a bug that prevents updates.
Hello Stargazers!
We are removing freeipa-client permanently from Aurora because it is breaking our updates. Among other issues, there are multiple issues, in particular this upstream ostree/bootc bug and this bug. Our change is tracked in this PR, and the related SELinux policy discussion is on the Fedora SELinux issue tracker.
If you depend on freeipa-client, you can build a custom image with the package re-added as a layer. New stable images with the package removed will be pushed out shortly. Thanks to RoyalOughtness for tracking this down!
Cheers ~Niklas

Hello Stargazers, today we look back at the year 2025 for Aurora and also check in to year 2026. This article will contain most of the same material as the Bluefin Year End Wrapup with some Aurora-specific updates added.
This article is going to be on the longer side, so grab your favorite drink and let's get on with it!
Just a quick update on the last few weeks. We have continued to streamline our build pipeline and today we have mostly finished the biggest parts of the work.
Our coneheads have always had a bond with dinosaurs so we have worked with the bluefin people on most of this stuff.
A couple of weeks have went by from our last update. And Winter is indeed coming, atleast here in the North 😄
