MobilityPhoshImage

Summary

Phosh is a Wayland shell for mobile devices based on Gnome. The mobility SIG has packaged up Phosh and related packages into a 'phosh-desktop' package group and would like to start making x86_64 and aarch64 images for mobile devices.

Current status

Targeted release: Fedora Linux 38
Last updated: 2022-12-01
devel thread
FESCo issue: #2896
Tracker bug: #2150052
Release notes tracker: #931

Detailed Description

There's a number of x86_64 and aarch64 tablets and other mobile devices that could use a more mobile centric interface/desktop than traditional Fedora desktops/labs/spins. Having Fedora images for these devices will make it easier to install and use them. Having a image will also help remix efforts, allowing them to reuse userspace packages and metadata (kickstarts, etc) with a modified kernel.

Note: Plasma Mobile is also being packaged and will be requested in another change

Note: Pinephone and Pinephone Pro are eventual targets for these images, but more kernel patches must be upstreamed before these devices will boot and function.

Feedback

Benefit to Fedora

These images will spread Fedora to mobile devices and bring more users into the Fedora community as well as showcasing upstream work to provide a 100% open source phone interface for devices once they are workable from vanilla kernels.
