Does Fedora 34 have a 5.14 Linux kernel available?

[Technogeezer]

Working through the testing guide, it's a bit unclear whether there's a 5.14 kernel available for Fedora Workstation 34. The kernel appears to be a 5.11 version.

In which case open-vm-tools won't be usable on this release according to the Fusion testing guide..

Should I be looking instead at the Fedora 35 release?.

You would have to add one of the available kernel repos and update with dnf.

Example:

sudo dnf --enablerepo=kernel-vanilla-mainline update

where 'kernel-vanilla-mainline' can be one of a few different options (see the .txt file below)
http://www.leemhuis.info/files/kernel-vanilla/repostatus.txt 

More detail:

Re: Tools... Tools is still useful and installable (in Fedora via dnf), the only thing missing is the graphics driver (which is in the kernel), which is needed to set the resolution in the guest.
You can't 'compile tools from source' without Linux 5.13 or greater tho (but that's moot since ovt is in dnf anyway)

Works like a champ. Thank you.

For those that may be interested, here's what worked for me through the links that @Mikero provided.

• Boot the Fedora 34 Live .iso, and install to hard drive.
• Reboot when prompted, and complete Fedora setup
• Drop into Terminal
• Edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf, and uncomment the WaylandEnable=false line. 
• Download the definitions to the kernel vanilla repo

• curl -s https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/thl/kernel-vanilla.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/kernel-vanilla.repo

• Install the latest mainline vanilla kernel

• sudo dnf --enablerepo=kernel-vanilla-mainline update

• Install the open-vm-tools

• sudo dnf install open-vm-tools
  sudo def install open-vm-tools-desktop

• Reboot

Disabling Weyland from the Live environment (via editing /mnt/sysboot/etc/gdm/custom.conf before reboot) and then rebooting to the hard drive caused a "Oops something went wrong" message during the ensuing Fedora setup process...

There's also the kernel packages in Bodhi which is probably more appropriate than Vanilla:

There's a copy/paste-able line for every version of the kernel.
