Fedora Workstation 43 ships with GNOME 49, featuring improved multi-display support, a new Focus Mode, and better performance through background throttling. The release removes X11 session support, making Wayland the only display server option, which enables triple buffering for smoother visuals and better hardware compatibility. Other updates include Showtime as the new default video player replacing Totem, COLRv1 scalable color emoji fonts, and Peas 2.0 for plugin development.
