Fedora Linux 41 will reach its end-of-life cutoff just over a week before December 15th, 2025. After this date, there will be no more updates available, including security patches and official notices. This means that critical security fixes may face delays, leaving your system vulnerable unless you manually install older versions. It's recommended to upgrade to a supported version as soon as possible to stay secure and updated properly.

Fedora Linux 41 will be discontinued on 15 December 2025

For Fedora Linux 41 users: get this quick note. Just over a week short of December 15th, 2025, that release will reach its end-of-life cutoff.

So, from now on, no more updates are coming for it, not even security ones or official notices. This doesn't merely refer to the absence of features; it also implies that critical security fixes and other upgrades may face delays due to their queue.

Because of this EOL status, your system won't get the latest patches unless you manually install older versions (something tricky). If you're still using Fedora 41, now's definitely not the time to wait. Upgrade soonest to a supported version, it'll keep things secure and updated properly.

Good news if you're on the newer Fedora Linux 42 though: that one is sticking around in maintenance mode for at least another month or two, well past when Fedora 44 launches. So don't feel rushed just because 41's support is ending. Keep using it until updates stop completely, then decide.

If you're unsure about your current version or need help planning the jump to a future release, check out the detailed upgrade guide on the official Fedora site. Consider looking at the project's overview of its maintenance plan for more context.

There's no grand wrap-up here. Just know that time is ticking for 41 updates, and consider your next steps soon.
