Most of GNOME 51 is now packaged for Fedora 45. Starting today and running through the end of the week, we will be running our traditional Fedora Test Day for GNOME . If you are a Fedora user, you can help us find last-minute integration issues and iron out what’s going to become the stable Fedora 45 release.

You can either boot the latest Fedora 45 image (nightly) in a virtual machine or update an existing test setup. Follow our guided test matrix , try out different features, and record your results. Even testing for 15 minutes and reporting a single issue makes a huge difference.
