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

== Summary ==
Create an official Fedora Spin shipping the up-and-coming Miracle Window Manager
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:mattkae| Matthew Kosarek]], [[User:tsimonq2| Simon
Quigley]], [[User:ngompa| Neal Gompa]]
* Email: matthew(a)matthewkosarek.xyz, simon(a)tsimonq2.net, ngompa13(a)gmail.com
== Detailed Description ==
The Miracle Window Manager is a tiling window manager based on the Mir
compositor library. While it is a newer project, it contains many
useful features such as a manual tiling algorithm, floating window
manager support, support for many Wayland protocols, proprietary
Nvidia driver support, and much more. Users are increasingly
interested in using miracle in various systems.
The goal of the miracle spin is to build a complete and elegant tiling
window experience within the Fedora ecosystem.
== Feedback ==
== Benefit to Fedora ==
Miracle will provide Fedora with a high-quality Wayland experience
built with support for all kinds of platforms, including low-end ARM
and x86 devices. On top of this, Fedora will be the first distribution
to provide a Miracle based spin, ensuring that it will become the de
facto distribution for running Miracle.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** SIG request: [https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/11856 #11856]
** comps: TODO
** fedora-release-miracle: TODO
** kickstart: TODO
** livesys-scripts: TODO
* Other developers: N/A
* Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/12077 #12077]
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: [https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/491 #491]
* Alignment with Community Initiatives: N/A
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
This is a new spin, so there is nothing.
== How To Test ==
{{package|miracle-wm}} is available in Fedora Linux 40, so it can be
installed on top of something like the existing Sway spin and
configured to reuse much of the tools used there.
For Fedora Linux 41, once the spin is produced, people can download
and try the experience intended to be released.
== User Experience ==
The experience will be similar to the Sway spin, though with more
features there may be some different choices on defaults.
== Dependencies ==
N/A
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: Push off to the next Fedora release.
* Contingency deadline: Beta freeze
* Blocks release? No
== Documentation ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Release Notes ==
This release introduces the Fedora Miracle Spin. The Fedora Miracle
Spin aims to provide the premiere Miracle window manager experience on
top of Fedora Linux, the leading edge platform for developers and
users alike.
