Session
Could we actually reach the Year of the Linux Desktop soon? Join this session to hear how an enterprise Linux distribution could potentially deliver a just-right Linux desktop by combining a 3-year release schedule with a smaller package set—leaving more room for community-maintained packages. We’ll explore workflows for making these packages available, including challenges and best practices. You’ll also get a quick demonstration comparing a stock Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 desktop with a version running packages from Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)—both GNOME and KDE desktops—as well as a comparison with Fedora running GNOME and KDE.
