Fedora is perfecting the Web-based installer UI, and officially announces the latest development.

CTOnews.com, February 11, the Red Hat engineering team has been working on a new Web-based user interface for the Fedora installer for more than a year.

Martin Kolman introduced Fedora's new installer UI on FOSDEM last weekend, and the interface looks very good, but at this stage there is still a gap compared with the GTK-based Anaconda installer.

The main reasons why Fedora installer wants to switch to the new Web-based UI include reducing reliance on X.Org servers, getting rid of "outdated technologies" such as GTK3, curbing inefficient and insecure remote access by VNC, and a clear trend towards Web-based system management tools.

Fedora says that around Cockpit projects, Web-based UI makes it easier to achieve consistency, leverages modern and widely used tools and libraries, and provides more secure and efficient remote access.

An unofficial ISO image with this Web UI has been available since Fedora 37. Interested CTOnews.com netizens can download it here.
