Describe what Users will see or notice, for example:
  - Packages are compressed more efficiently, making downloads and upgrades faster by 10%.
  - Kerberos tickets can be renewed automatically. Users will now have to authenticate less and become more productive. Credential management improvements mean a user can start their work day with a single sign on and not have to pause for reauthentication during their entire day.
- Libreoffice is one of the most commonly installed applications on Fedora and it is now available by default to help users "hit the ground running".
- Green has been scientifically proven to be the most relaxing color. The move to a default background color of green with green text will result in Fedora users being the most relaxed users of any operating system.

ARM Release Criteria Changes

Summary

Proposed changes to the Desktop release criteria for ARM and AArch64 in Fedora 32:

  • drop Xfce on 32-bit ARM from release blocking desktops
  • add Workstation on AArch64 to release blocking desktops

Owner

  • Name: Paul Whalen
  • Email: pwhalen@fedoraproject.org
  • Responsible WG: ARM SIG

Current status

Detailed Description

In Fedora 32 we will have a couple new additions to release blocking deliverables including IoT and CoreOS. In order to reduce the overall test coverage and release blocking desktops we propose no longer blocking on the 32-Bit ARM Xfce Desktop spin, and adding Workstation on AArch64 as a release blocking desktop. The AArch64 Workstation image has been available for a number of Fedora releases and contains the same package set as x86_64 where it is heavily tested.

Release blocking image changes:

  • Drop: Spins/armhfp/images/Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-_RELEASE_MILESTONE_-sda.raw.xz
  • Add: Workstation/aarch64/images/Fedora-Workstation-aarch64-_RELEASE_MILESTONE_-sda.raw.xz

Benefit to Fedora

This change will reduce the release blocking desktops and potential for blocker bugs.
