Fedora 44 released

 April 30, 2026

Three days ago, the Fedora project released Fedora 44. This release was delayed a couple of times due to an issue with the NVIDIA driver and installer. Since neither of those was relevant to me, I was not blocked by that. I appreciate that Fedora caters to many different kinds of users and use cases, and therefore, there might be delays for reasons that do not affect me.

I’ve used Fedora 44 on my laptop for months, but prefer stable versions for servers. The difference is due to the greater simplicity of rolling back on laptops compared to server systems. Since I use bootc on all my Fedora systems, it is enough to select the old version in grub if something goes wrong. But since the servers are headless, changing the grub selection might require finding a display and keyboard.

Fedora on Scaleway Dedibox with bootc

 March 31, 2025

For a while now, I’ve been looking into optimizing and reorganizing some of the infrastructure that powers my self-hosting services. After evaluating a few alternatives, Scaleway’s Dedibox lineup caught my attention: it is a European company with good hardware and decent pricing.

However, as with every good solution, it is not perfect. Scaleway does not provide Fedora as an OS option for their Dedibox machines. They offer a decent selection, including Rocky Linux, Debian, and Ubuntu — but no Fedora. Now, if you know me, you know that Fedora is not just my distro of choice — it’s the one I trust for both personal and professional projects.
