Fedora 41 Installer Proceeding To Transition From X11 To Wayland App
With Fedora's new web-based installer UI being delayed to 2025 with Fedora 42, part of Red Hat's justification for that setback was needing to invest resources first in Fedora 41 by transitioning the OS installer to being a native Wayland application
The Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) has now signed off on that work as expected to make the Anaconda OS installer a native Wayland application. While Fedora Linux has been going full bore on Wayland for years, the Anaconda installer application has remained dependent upon X11 and in turn XWayland. FESCo has granted the necessary approval for this work to move forward with Fedora 41 to ideally have the Anaconda installer as a native Wayland app in time for the OS release in October.
