Fedora 42 Looks to Ship Optimized Executables for Different x86_64 Capabilities (phoronix.com)
Fedora Linux has already supported making use of glibc HWCAPs for allowing libraries to be built for different x86_64 micro-architecture feature levels for performance-sensitive code where it can pay off when leveraging AVX/AVX2 or other newer Intel/AMD CPU instruction set extensions. For Fedora 42 is now a proposal to extend that further to allow binary executables to also leverage glibc HWCAPs for better performance.

Fedora KDE Desktop Spin Promoted to Same Tier as Gnome-Based Fedora Workstation (phoronix.com)
Earlier this year was a Fedora change proposal seeking to make KDE Plasma the default over GNOME for Fedora 42.
