Hi
I have noticed we are installing bunch of "enterprise" tools ( which
some might view as bloatware ) with the default Fedora Desktop which
leaves whole bunch of service enable which delay boot and eat up
cpu/memory and space thus give the end user an overall negative
experience on her or his laptop hence I have been wondering if there
have been any discussion to provide different "edition" of the Fedora
Desktop in similar manner like Windows does [1] as in "Windows 10 Home"
which mostly comes pre-installed on the laptops people buy ( stripped
down windows no enterprise features ) windows 10 Pro which is mostly
used in Office environments where joining a Windows Server domain is
required and Windows 10 Enterprise, which is Windows 10 Pro + some
enterprise related tools and apps etc.
With Fedora "Home" edition the installer could be simplified drastically
and the image size refused to bare minimum sd-boot+ systemd + Gnome (
things like atd chrony along with whole bunch of other advanced storage
related things ) skipped and end users not allow to custom configure
anything other than their language and keyboard ( targeted at noobs )
while for example "Fedora Pro" would allow for custom partitioning
filesystem selections etc and include additional tools, Fedora Developer
edition which could include all the developer tools, Fedora Enterprise (
sssd,realmd etc ) so fourth and so on.
