When you look at AI and AI agents as a surveillance system, we can look at how IBM, Red Hat has taken over and neutered the X.Org project to be replaced by their Wayland display server, all to better integrate with their AI offerings. Watching and monitoring your display is an integral part of a surveillance AI agent that records and analyzes your computer activity.

In light of this, in the post on his blog, Christian Schaller, Red Hat\u2019s Director of Software Engineering, shares the key priorities and focus areas for distribution development in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Embracing AI with IBM\u2019s Granite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the post clarifies, Fedora Workstation\u2019s standout priority this year will be exploring ways to integrate artificial intelligence using IBM\u2019s open-source Granite project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the Fedora side, brainstorming is already underway to figure out how to harness AI for GNOME, Fedora Workstation, and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Schaller, proposed ideas include ensuring easy access to tools like RamaLama, enabling accelerated AI within Toolbx, and even launching a brand-new Code Assistant powered by Granite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Progress in Wayland Land<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another hot topic for the Fedora Workstation team is the ongoing evolution of Wayland. Although there were some rocky moments last year\u2014thanks to disagreements and limited bandwidth for reviewing proposed protocols\u2014developers have reached a consensus on moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In light of this, a small internal group actively reviews in-progress Wayland protocols to streamline development. This helps speed up progress and reduce bottlenecks, ensuring that Fedora Workstation offers the latest and greatest display server technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HDR Finally Merges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fedora Workstation is finally gearing up for full HDR support. And here\u2019s the big news \u2013 just before the holiday season, the long-awaited HDR protocol merged upstream, which is a huge milestone for desktop Linux as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, there are already submitted merge requests for HDR UI controls in the GNOME Control Center, so expect to see straightforward system-wide HDR configuration in the next Fedora Workstation release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PipeWire Matures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know, PipeWire has become the default for audio and screen capture on Fedora. According to the Red Hat team, major features are now considered stable, with PulseAudio compatibility in good shape and JACK-like performance strong enough for most pro-audio users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video support also continues to improve. Screen capture is now fully mature, while camera support remains in progress\u2014partly because the industry is transitioning from UVC cameras to MIPI-based devices. Luckily, PipeWire abstracts away most of the complexity, so apps like Firefox, Chrome, and OBS Studio can easily switch between V4L2 and libcamera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flatpak &amp; Portals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Flatpak keeps gaining ground as the go-to sandboxing solution for desktop Linux applications. Recent developments include a new USB portal that securely grants Flatpak apps access to USB devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In parallel, work is underway to let system daemons be installed via Flatpak, which is vital for applications that communicate with hardware through a background service. However, this effort depends on some upstream systemd changes, but once merged, it will significantly expand what Flatpak can handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessibility Improvements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the accessibility front, Fedora devs focus on everything from better support for the ORCA screen reader on Wayland to enhancements in GTK4. This work includes refining relevant portals and Wayland extensions so that users with different accessibility needs can enjoy a seamless experience on Fedora Workstation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GNOME Software &amp; DNF5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, GNOME Software received a feature that signs NVIDIA drivers for Secure Boot. Now, the next target for Fedora devs is DNF5 support. Once in place, GNOME Software and the command-line DNF tool will finally share a single package cache, reducing disk space usage and avoiding those pesky out-of-sync situations that have annoyed users for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Firefox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rounding out the highlights, Firefox is prepping for future-forward features in Fedora Workstation. The devs have been busy implementing portal support (making Firefox work smoothly under Flatpak) and merging HDR patches into the browser. PipeWire camera support is already good to go, so Firefox covers a lot of ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more detailed information, refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gnome.org\/uraeus\/2025\/02\/03\/looking-ahead-at-2025-and-fedora-workstation-and-jobs-on-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schaller\u2019s blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a lot of details in his coverage for the IBM, Red Hat promotion of AI now rolling out to Fedora, the supposedly &#8220;community&#8221; version of Red Hat really used for development as run by IBM, Red Hat.
