SUSE's Agama Installer Switches From X.Org To Wayland For Installation GUI


SUSE developers working on their new operating system installer 'Agama' have been making steady progress and on Friday debuted Agama 16

With Agama 16 they have moved from X.Org to Wayland for powering their installer UI along with a number of other changes. The Agama 16 operating system installer has introduced better matching for storage devices, installation status reporting via IPMI for Linux servers, initial support for using existing MD RAID arrays from the Agama web interface UI, a more friendly experience for remote installations, checking the strength of typed passwords, and other enhancements. SUSE continues working on the Agama operating system installer so that it will be ready for use with the upcoming openSUSE Leap 16.0 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 16.0 operating system releases.
