===[[Changes/Unify bin and sbin | Unify /usr/bin and /usr/sbin]]===
The /usr/sbin directory becomes a symlink to bin, which means paths like /usr/bin/foo and /usr/sbin/foo point to the same place. /bin and /sbin are already symlinks to usr/bin and usr/sbin, so effectively /bin/foo and /sbin/foo also point to the same place. /usr/sbin will be removed from the default $PATH. The same change is also done to make /usr/local/sbin point to bin, effectively making /usr/local/bin/foo and /usr/local/sbin/foo point to the same place. The definition of %_sbindir will be changed to %_bindir, so packages will start using the new directory after a rebuild without any further action. Maintainers may stop using %_sbindir, but don't need to.

This is a proposal for upgrading systems which produce composes to createrepo_c > 1.0 and changing some options used to create Fedora repositories metadata. Note that some of these changes are inevitable due to createrepo_c >= 1.0 behavioral change. We aim to change both Rawhide/F41, then move all following releases to the new settings, while preserving most of the current settings for releases <= 40.

Anaconda WebUI for Fedora Workstation by default

The new PatternFly-based UI has been developed by the Anaconda team for some time now and we would like to make it available for users of Fedora to enhance and modernize installation experience. As the first step in this user adoption process, we are targeting Fedora Workstation only.

Continue the work done in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/OstreeNativeContainer but in an officially stable format, and expanded to cover more OSTree-based editions. This goes "all in" on being container-native and significantly changes the technology and user emphasis.

DNF/RPM Copy on Write enablement for all variants

RPM Copy on Write provides a better experience for Fedora Users as it reduces the amount of I/O and offsets CPU cost of package decompression. RPM Copy on Write uses reflinking capabilities in btrfs, which is the default filesystem starting from Fedora 33 for most variants. Note that this behavior is not being turned on by default for this Change.

Fedora Linux 41 Accepted Self-Contained Changes

Enable auto-updates by default in Fedora Kinoite

On Fedora Kinoite, Plasma Discover supports automatically updating the system in a safe fashion via rpm-ostree staged updates. We want users to benefit from bug fixes and updates in general by default thus we want to enable auto-updates by default. Users will still have the option of disabling that or tuning the frequency at which updates happen.

mkosi-initrd

mkosi-initrd is an alternative builder for initrds. It will be packaged in Fedora, so that users can use it to build initrds locally. A kernel-install plugin will be provided to build the initrd when a kernel package is installed. As a stretch goal, initrds will be build in koji and delivered via rpm packages. As a further stretch goal, pre-built initrds will be used in Unified Kernel Images that can be delivered via rpm packages.
