Fedora Workstation 40 Considering Inclusion of Privacy-Preserving Telemetry
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Fedora 40 might consider adding a privacy-friendly telemetry system to provide insights to developers.
|
||||
|
||||
![fedora 40 privacy][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Fedora's development changes are always interesting to keep an eye out for, and a new change proposal is something similar.
|
||||
|
||||
**The Red Hat Display Systems** team**,** has suggested a new change that would allow for collecting anonymous usage data from Fedora Workstation systems.
|
||||
|
||||
I know Red Hat has not been on the best terms with the Linux community recently. But **before you take up your pitchforks**, let us check out what it is all about.
|
||||
|
||||
**What's Happening:** If approved, Fedora Workstation 40 will feature a **privacy-preserving telemetry system** that will report system metrics back to the Fedora dev team.
|
||||
|
||||
The main focus would be collecting **aggregate usage metrics,** which would help them understand the usage patterns of Fedora Workstation users, enabling them to develop features accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
It has become a **relatively common practice** for software and OSes to have some form of telemetry going on in the background. But, the telemetry system proposed for Fedora is **claimed to be more privacy-friendly than most**.
|
||||
|
||||
The change proposal mentions that:
|
||||
|
||||
> Fedora is an open source community project, and nobody is interested in violating user privacy. We do not want to collect data about individual users. We want to collect only aggregate usage metrics that are actually needed to achieve specific Fedora improvement objectives, and no more. We understand that if we violate our users’ trust, then we won’t have many users left, so if metrics collection is approved, we will need to be very careful to roll this out in a way that respects our users at all times.
|
||||
|
||||
They also highlighted that telemetry data collection **would be an opt-out system rather than an opt-in system**. That means, by default, upload of all telemetry data would be disabled, even though it would be collected offline and deleted automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
**Telemetry data will only be uploaded** when the user manually enables it during first setup of the OS or from the '**Privacy**' tab in the settings menu.
|
||||
|
||||
This could be a bit confusion for some users, here's what the proposal mentions:
|
||||
|
||||
> _To make this a little more confusing, metrics collection is actually separate from uploading. Collection is always initially enabled, while uploading is always initially disabled_
|
||||
|
||||
> 📋 Even after a system upgrade, the sending of telemetry data would be disabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
**In any case, this change doesn't matter if it's not approved.**
|
||||
|
||||
Similar to the recent Anaconda Web UI installer [implementation on Fedora][2], this change proposal too is subject to voting by the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo).
|
||||
|
||||
**What to Expect:** According to the change proposal, they **intend to deploy Endless OS's metrics system,** which is[known][3] to be a privacy-preserving metrics system.
|
||||
|
||||
> 📋 The change proposal also mentions that they expect to collect less data than Endless OS.
|
||||
|
||||
To achieve this, they will be using [Azafea][4], an open-source metrics collection server that **consists of five key components**:
|
||||
|
||||
- **A nginx Proxy Server**
|
||||
- **[azafea-metrics-proxy][5]**
|
||||
- **[redis][6]**
|
||||
- **Postgres Database**
|
||||
- **And finally, Azafea itself.**
|
||||
|
||||
You might explore the technical details for it if you are curious.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, you can check out the [change proposal][7] to learn more about the potential implementation of this tool and any discussions surrounding it.
|
||||
|
||||
If pulled off correctly, the telemetry system can deliver valuable usage data to the developers of Fedora while also preserving the privacy of the user.
|
||||
|
||||
However, we must wait until this is implemented to see how it fares.
|
||||
|
||||
_💬 Would you opt for sending telemetry on Fedora if it were an option?_

Solus 4.4: The Long-Awaited Return with Refreshed Desktop Experience
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
**After two years, Solus 4.4 “Harmony” hits the shelves with impressive improvements.**
|
||||
|
||||
A new Solus 4 series release named Solus 4.4 “Harmony” has finally arrived, putting an end to a two-year gap in releases. This eagerly anticipated release comes with a slew of updates to the desktop environment, software stacks, and hardware enablement, marking an important milestone for the Solus project.
|
||||
|
||||
Over the past two years, the Solus project has undergone several changes in direction, leaving users eagerly awaiting the latest release. Now, the wait is over, and Solus enthusiasts can rejoice as the new release is now available.
|
||||
|
||||
![Solus 4.4 Budgie Desktop][1]
|
||||
|
||||
As a continuation of the previous 4.3 release, Solus 4.4 significantly upgrades core applications and desktop environment offerings. Regardless of the edition you choose – Budgie, GNOME, MATE, or KDE Plasma – each comes packed with default applications such as Firefox 114.0.1, LibreOffice 7.5.3.2, and Thunderbird 102.12.0. Moreover, each edition offers unique audio-video multimedia playback software, delivering a tailored user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
The Budgie edition of Solus 4.4, featuring Budgie 10.7.2, now makes Nemo file manager the default choice over Nautilus. This change was prompted by alterations in Nautilus that diverged from the desktop environment’s intended look and feel. Additionally, the Budgie edition introduces bug fixes, performance improvements, and an enhanced user experience through a new power dialog for session management, dual-GPU support in Budgie Menu, and an improved Budgie Screenshot application.
|
||||
|
||||
In the GNOME version, users will find the latest [GNOME 43][2] series release, GNOME 43.5. Dark mode is now the default, and there have been changes to the shell theme. Notable improvements include updated system UI styling, a redesigned system status menu, and an improved screenshot experience. Tracker, responsible for file indexing, has also received enhancements to improve startup times and reduce memory usage.
|
||||
|
||||
For the Plasma variant, Solus 4.4 ships with [Plasma][3] Desktop 5.27.5, KDE Frameworks 5.106.0, and KDE Gear 23.04.2. This release introduces new customization options, gesture support for touchpads and touchscreens, floating panel support, and enhanced window tiling functionality. System widgets have improved, and the Wayland Session is now available out of the box.
|
||||
|
||||
The MATE edition comes with the latest MATE 1.27 series release; however, the Solus team has announced plans to sunset the MATE Edition. Due to the project’s Wayland strategy and overall development progress lagging behind the demands of the modern desktop landscape, Solus 4.4 will be the final release to include a MATE edition ISO. Nevertheless, Solus assures users that existing MATE installations will continue to receive support, and they are actively planning a seamless upgrade path to Xfce.

|
||||

Looking ahead, the future holds even more promise for Solus with the upcoming Solus V (Solus 5). The team has announced a major upgrade in the works, as Solus V will be based on Serpent OS and will bring additional updates. You can visit [this blog post][5] for more information on Solus 5.
