This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux.
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
== Summary ==
Upgrade LXQt in Fedora to version 2.1.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:farchord| Steve Cossette]], [[User:Ngompa| Neal
Gompa]], [[User:Sfaulken| Shawn W Dunn]]
* Email: farch...@gmail.com, ngomp...@gmail.com, sfal...@cloverleaf-linux.org
== Detailed Description ==
LXQt in Fedora will be upgraded to v2.1 and will default to Wayland,
leveraging {{package|miriway}} by default for the Wayland experience.
More details on LXQt 2.1 are available from
[https://lxqt-project.org/release/2024/11/05/release-lxqt-2-1-0/ the
upstream release announcement].
== Feedback ==
== Benefit to Fedora ==
Fedora includes the latest version of LXQt and one more desktop spin
offering a Wayland-based experience.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Upgrade all related LXQt packages
*** Incorporate pending upstream changes to support
{{package|miriway}} as a Wayland compositor for LXQt
** Adjust comps and live image to use Wayland by default
* Other developers: N/A
* Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/12455 #12455]
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: N/A
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
Users will be upgraded to LXQt 2.1, though no major configuration or
user experience changes are expected.
== How To Test ==
Install using the spin, netinstall or DVD. Or upgrade from older
release. Then users should be able to test by doing any daily work.
== User Experience ==
The user experience is not expected to change significantly with this upgrade.
== Dependencies ==
None outside of this Change.
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: Roll back the LXQt packages. It will require
an Epoch bump.
* Contingency deadline: Beta freeze
* Blocks release? No.
== Documentation ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Release Notes ==
LXQt in Fedora has been upgraded to version 2.1 and now defaults to Wayland.
