>
> The Fedora Workstation is a new take on desktop development from the
> Fedora Community. Our goal is to pick the best components, and
> integrate and polish them. This work results in a more polished and
> targeted product than you've previously seen from the Fedora
> desktop. We want our desktop operating system to solve your problems,
> not be your problem.
>
> Easy access to all your software
>
> The cornerstone of the Fedora Workstation is the App Catalog, which
> lets you find all kinds of applications quickly and easily. The
> improvements to the App Catalog in Fedora 21 provide a responsive and
> fast user experience. In addition, Fedora packagers have worked with
> developers around the world to greatly improve the number of featured
> applications.
>
> Improvements to the Terminal application
>
> We want developers to have a great experience, so a strong Terminal
> application is absolutely important. We've integrated a set of
> additional features in the Terminal, such as:
>
> * Support for transparent backgrounds
> * Automatic title updates to help you identify different terminals
> * A simple toggle for system keybindings in both the Terminal and
> GNOME desktop overview to help you search for Terminals by name
>
> Experimental Wayland Support
>
> Wayland is a new and exciting technology that will power Linux
> desktops of the future. With Fedora Workstation 21 you can visit the
> future now, and see how well your applications work with Wayland. You
> can also experiment with making your applications take advantage of
> Wayland's new capabilities. Much of the core Wayland development comes
> from Fedora Workstation contributors, so this is your chance to try
> out Wayland straight from the source.
>
> Developer Assistant
>
> We recognize developers need an easy and straightforward way to set up
> many different programming environments. In Fedora Workstation, we
> offer the Developer Assistant, which takes care of this setup for a
> large number of language runtimes and IDEs. And now, thanks to its
> integration with new Fedora Software Collections, multiple versions of
> different languages are available to suit your needs.
>
> Ease of installation
>
> We want the installation of the Fedora Workstation to be as
> straightforward and simple as possible. In Fedora Workstation we've
> distilled this process down to selecting the layout of your physical
> media, and then pressing "Install." (In fact, you can even let the
> installer choose the disk layout for you.) And because the future of
> installations is not optical disks, we ship with an easy to use tool
> to help you create bootable USB sticks.
>
> Toolkit integration
>
> We recognize you have a job to do, and you want to use the tools that
> let you get it done. That's why we've been working hard to make all
> your applications in Fedora Workstation look and feel the same. From
> the new theming for Qt to the ability to run HTML5 web services in a
> chromeless window, we want all your apps to feel like a natural
> extension to your desktop.
>
> Support for extremely high resolution displays (HiDPI)
>
> Technology never stands still, and as a software developer you're used
> to using the best technology available. So we've spent a lot of time
> and effort on supporting the new generation of HiDPI displays. That's
> probably why Fedora has been called "the best of HiDPI."
>
> Exciting roadmap
>
> This Fedora Workstation release is not the end. It's the beginning of
> a new era for Fedora on the desktop. We have a roadmap lined up to
> bring a range of exciting new technologies to the Linux desktop:
>
> * Containers
> * Smarter virtual machines
> * Better development tools
> * More web integration
> * ...and much more
>
> So if you want to be part of the future of the Linux desktop be sure
> to get on board now!
