I’m looking for a Fedora 38 workstation iso. I cannot seem to find one. Fedora 40 doesn’t seem to want to play nice with my surface pro 7. Any help would be appreciated.

Does it lock up when booting? Fedora’s kernel has issues booting on Surface devices since Fedora 39.

You either need to switch kernels (e.g. linux-surface kernel) on a different machine or switch distro.

Running an outdated Fedora version is not the solution.

Fedora 38 reached end of support in May. So even if you could find an ISO of it, it is not supported at all anymore.

IIRC, any of the uBlue images offer to ship these by default. Hence, they might as well pick one of those instead.

Just fyi, that is not Fedora workstation, thats a Fedora atomic spin, which is an immutable os. Installing packages and updating works a bit different than a normal distro.

While I don’t recommend using unmaintained version of an OS, you can find Fedora torrent files here. Might as well explore other distro if Fedora doesn’t work for your laptop. (I am biased with Solus).

probably not a good idea, you’d have to upgrade quite soon. take a look at centos or rocky Linux instead, they’re both down stream from fedora

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
