How to install Fedora 35 in VirtualBox

Operating systems evolve every day so that the user or administrator has the best work options and this includes details such as compatibility, security, management utilities and more. Fedora is enterprise-class profiling and therefore has key built-in applications for this type of work. But in addition to this, it has different operating methods so that we always have the updates. Today we have the stable version 34 but for users who like to be one step further, a beta channel has been available where it is possible to know and use the next version of Fedora which is in this case Fedora 35..

 

Fedora 35 Features

Fedora 35 will be in its stable version at the end of 2021 and we find some features such as:

 

• Compiler policy change

• DNS improvements over TLS

• Autoconf-2.71

• Node.js 16.x by default

• Python 3.10

• Perl 5.34

• DNF / RPM copy-on-write activation for all system variants

 

 

 

Fedora 35 is a test system which makes it unstable, therefore TechnoWikis's advice is to install it in a virtual environment and what better way to use VirtualBox for it. VirtualBox is a virtualization platform available for various operating systems and that allows total interaction between both systems (physical and virtual), its download is available at the following link:
