They are focusing on consolidating flatpak, and move toward immutable desktop. If you read the some press release in red hat blogs, they move their teams to make Wayland more stable now, and they aim to bring full flegede gaming desktop also 3D tools as most Hollywood company use RHEL on desktop for processing, it’s what some of the engineer said on reddit, and libreoffice, rythmbox, totem, bluetooth, are offered with flatpak, so… User can move to that.
Sadly their way of communicating always bad when they move to new project these days… Really bad…
And some other are making FUD on those news with community left confused and make assumptions…
However, this is not about dropping RPM in support of Flatpak. In this case, they asked an upstream maintainer to reduce their involvement. And it’s not FUD: it’s written in the blog post itself.
Yeah. But red hat already say it first, that it need to focus on other part of desktop for Wayland.
There are trade off when you are moving resources, and Red Hat do it for free…
So why I called it FUD, because they talk because they don’t know the chronology…
And for the post from Red Hat Engineer, I know they don’t like it, but Wayland need more focus also 3D part as it’s core part of Red Hat business and for greater masses… You can’t have shinny thing sucking out people or corporation without win win benefit… And the engineer are employed by red hat… That’s it.
I’m also not sure about it, as I’ve always liked Fedora.
However, these news impact the whole Linux desktop, and GNOME in particular :(
