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 by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
== Summary == Switch the installer used by Fedora Atomic ISO images from the legacy GTK-based Anaconda installer to the new WebUI installer.
This aligns the installation experience of Atomic media with Fedora Workstation, KDE and Fedora Live Spins.

== Detailed Description ==
The Anaconda WebUI is becoming the standard installer experience across Fedora. This proposal extends that transition to Fedora Atomic installer ISOs, providing a consistent installation experience with current Live installations.
Affected installer ISOs: * Fedora Silverblue * Fedora Kinoite * Fedora COSMIC Atomic * Fedora Sway Atomic (Sericea) * Fedora Budgie Atomic (Onyx)
== Feedback ==
== Benefit to Fedora == Reduces maintenance by using a single installer implementation. See also the Change proposal from [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AnacondaWebUIforFedoraWorkstation#Ben... WebUI adoption to Workstation].
== Scope == * Proposal owners: - Switch Fedora Atomic installer ISOs to use the Anaconda WebUI. - Complete validation and testing across all affected Atomic variants.
* Other developers:
* Release engineering: [https://forge.fedoraproject.org/releng/tickets/issues #Releng issue number]
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with the Fedora Strategy:
== How To Test == Once the anaconda-webui package is required by `anaconda` main package [1] the affected Rawhide Atomic ISOs can be used for testing.

== User Experience == See [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AnacondaWebUIforFedoraWorkstation#Use... Change proposal for WebUI adoption] from different Fedora variants.
== Dependencies == The [https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/anaconda-webui package] for WebUI installer is maintained by the installer team and has dependency on [https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cockpit Cockpit]. There are not unfinished work items blocking this initiative.
== Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: If significant issues are identified before the release, Fedora Atomic installer ISOs will revert to using the GTK-based Anaconda installer * Contingency deadline: We have the contingency plan ready * Blocks release? No. We can revert the change easily if blockers show up
== Documentation == N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Release Notes ==
