Hi, In https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2803 Artem asked for a user-visible notification when a Fedora stops being supported. Various proposals for online checks were discussed in the bug, but I think we might make do with something much simpler. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/23924 proposes adding SUPPORT_END=YYYY-MM-DD to /usr/lib/os-release. My idea would that we'd e.g. pop up a desktop notification when that date is close, and a bigger redder notification once it has been passed. The date could be set to some initial value even on the initial release, and then adjusted through updates to fedora-release.rpm if our schedule slips. I guess we could add a notification during boot in systemd itself, but most users wouldn't see that, so a graphical notification would also be needed. The advantage of this proposal that it is very simple and will work even on machines that don't have network connectivity, and can be easily integrated into various DEs and tools. WDYT?
