#501 Remove gnome-abrt from default install
Closed: Fixed by catanzaro. Opened by asciiwolf.

We should consider removing gnome-abrt (the "Problem Reporting" app) from the default Workstation install. The Problem Reporting app is outdated, in many ways broken/unreliable, and generally leads to a rather poor user experience.

It is still based on GTK3 (the GTK4 port is blocked by this issue) and as I understand it, the current maintainer (@msrb) does not have enough time to work on this component properly and nobody stepped in as a possible new maintainer/developer so far.

Also, I believe that we should focus on automated crash reports/telemetry rather than informing users about crashes and relying on them to report them manually using a GUI tool that doesn't work properly half the time.

By the way, the Problem Reporting app is as far as I know already not pre-installed on Fedora Silverblue and other immutable variants.


It's already approved in #130. Time to implement....

We don't have a Duplicate resolution status here, so I will use Fixed.
