Fedora 42 Earlybird FAQ
Q: Can I update the Fedora 42 Alpha/Beta/Snap#/Preview release to the final Fedora 42 release?
A: Yes. A few days before F42 is finally released, at 10am EST, there will be an updated "fedora-release" package which will change your release name from Rawhide to the final Fedora 42, and more importantly, change your package repositories from rawhide to stable.
While upgrading from rawhide to final will work OK most of the time, there may be some corner case issues with bad interim rawhide updates leaving the system in a different state than a final clean install, or even a regular F41 to F42 upgrade (or preupgrade).

If you delay updating too long after F42 is released, you may miss the final F42 "fedora-release" transition package, and instead of going from Rawhide to Fedora 42, you will remain on Rawhide.
Q: I found a Fedora 42 ISO leak before release day! Is it legit or is it exploited?
A: The only way to know for sure is to verify the leaked SHA1SUM's GPG signature (if available) with the official Fedora GPG key. If you can't, or won't do this, it's safer to just be patient and wait for release day. Also note that even if the early leak does check out, it might not be the FINAL release, as Fedora has in the past re-pushed out last-minute final-final releases.
Q: I avoided Fedora 9 because there was no proprietary ATI display driver available. Is this fixed?
A: No. Please contact ATI. There's nothing Fedora can do about ATI not updating it's proprietary driver. Fedora 9 originally was released with a pre-release version of Xorg Server 1.4.99 . However the ABI (Application Binary Interface) has remained fixed after that and Fedora 9 includes the current latest Xorg 1.5 release in an update without any ABI changes. We recommend users try the latest open source ATI driver or use Intel or other cards which do not require proprietary drivers.
