Fedora QA launches Test Week for Anaconda 45 installer features
Key Takeaway
The Fedora QA team is hosting a testing event through October 2, 2026, to validate new features in the Anaconda installer for Fedora 45.
Summary
The Fedora QA team has announced a Test Week for the Anaconda installer ahead of the Fedora 45 release. The event focuses on testing three major updates: WebUI support for Atomic Desktops, remote installation capabilities via a web browser, and Stratis storage configuration within the WebUI.
New features in Anaconda 45
- WebUI for Atomic Desktops: Extends the modern web-based installer to include Silverblue, Kinoite, and Cosmic/Sway/Budgie Atomic variants.
- Remote WebUI: Enables driving an installation from a separate device using a web browser.
- Stratis support: Adds the ability to configure Stratis storage directly through the WebUI.
Why it matters
The testing period aims to improve the stability of the Fedora 45 installer by gathering real-world feedback on new web-based installation workflows.
