#3487 Change: Unified_KDE_OOBE
Closed: Accepted by decathorpe. Opened by alking.

Closed: Accepted
Reopen Issue

All Fedora KDE variants will use the KDE Initial System Setup application to configure the system after installation. Anaconda will have redundant settings disabled for installation.

Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended.
The Fedora Program Manager will create a tracking bug in Bugzilla for this Change, which is your indication to proceed. See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.

REMINDER: This ticket is for FESCo members to vote on the proposal. Further discussion should happen in the Discourse discussion linked above. Additional discussion may happen on the Fedora Devel mailing list.

I think the Change page should say that this mirrors what was done for the gnome spin with gnome-initial-setup and link to the appropriate docs. This would make it much easier for people who don't closely follow development to see that this is a part of a longer development arc.

It's not relevant and wasn't the motivation for it, so it is deliberately not referenced.

Is it not? After reading the Change text, it seems to be the same things as for previously for Gnome, except that s/Gnome/KDE/g. As I missing something?

I have no idea what the motivations were for GNOME Initial Setup.

IMHO we don't have to mention GNOME as a motivation, but mentioning that this change would make the setup experience more similar to GNOME's as a "by the way" is reasonable.

And I think it's fine not to explicitly mention the arch-nemesis :)

Hey, leave Arch out of this! :smile_cat:

Let's agree to disagree. I think we're all paddling in the same boat here, and the fact that this makes KDE follow in GNOME's wake and makes the two flagships align their course is important. I had to ask on the mailing list because I couldn't find the relevant Change. It turns out it was https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/InitialExperience and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReduceInitialSetupRedundancy.

After slightly more than a week:
