The Fedora Linux installer application is getting a new look… 👀🎨⭐️

It’s quite some time since we created the current GTK based UI for Anaconda: the OS installer for Fedora, RHEL, CentOS. For a long time we (the Anaconda team) were looking for possibilities to modernize and improve the user experience. In this post, we would like to explain what we are working on, and—most of all—inform you about what you can expect in the future.

BIOS be gone? A group of Fedora contributors proposed a change for Fedora Linux 37 that officially deprecates legacy BIOS and requires UEFI a hardware requirement for new Fedora Linux installations. Existing legacy BIOS systems will be able to boot, but new installs will not have the option to install with legacy BIOS.

If successful, this change would pave the way to remove BIOS support entirely in Fedora Linux 38. While this will eventually reduce workload for boot/installation components (grub2 reduces surface area, syslinux goes away entirely, anaconda reduces surface area), the reduction in support burden extends much further into the stack - for instance, VESA support can be removed from the distro.

We just learned that there's an opportunity to have a brand new Fedora Media Writer 5.0 (with a completely redone UI, but using the same background code) together with the Fedora 36 release. The timing is tight, but we agreed that we'd like to give it a try. The latest 5.0 builds are here:
