Hello,
I'm setting up some F40 boxes for a client.
Their Dev-box requirement is to install & use *current* stable release versions of F40 & KDE. For running OS and any tools etc.
I installed Fedora Media Writer from distro repos.
When you exec FMW to write to a usb key the built-in downloadable iso options only include up to F40 *BETA*. Is there a setting or a newer version that pulls current F40 *RELEASE*?
The alternative is to DL source isos from the site and manually install.
The current available LiveISO for F40 KDE Spin doesn't include KDE Plasma 6.1. Just 6.0.x still.
The Rawhide iso spin looks like it does. But I don't want to point them at Rawhide. I want to stick with current release.
Where can you get current F40 + KDE Spin isos?

I think, you should download from
https://fedoraproject.org/spins/kde/
and use FMW with the downloaded image or use balenaEtcher to write to the USB stick

Right. From that page I downloaded this LiveISO
ls -al Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-40-1.14.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 arn1 arn1 2.5G Jun 23 16:57 Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-40-1.14.iso
and launched from it.
The plasma version the downloaded image contains is
plasma-workspace-wayland-6.0.3-2.fc40.x86_64
According to https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/plasma-workspace, the current release is
plasma-workspace-*-6.1.0-3.fc40
I'm looking for an uptodate LiveISO that packages current releases. And for a Fedora Media Writer that is F40 *release* aware.
Are either of those available?

We never remake the release / GA media. They stay the same for all time.
There is a respins sig ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Respins-SIG ) that from time to time remakes the live media with all updates applied.
Looks like the last one was on the 14th. The 6.1 update went stable on the 19th (4 days ago). So, I would expect it to be in the next one they do.

Yes, I remember there were some build and/or stability issues so the decision was to release with the older Plasma version. When the issues are finally resolved you usually get the latest version by the usual update process. Otherwise 6.0 would be he official version for F40. So in terms of your task you will use the official latest version for Fedora 40.
