[$] Modernizing openSUSE installation with Agama
Wednesday August 21, 2024. 05:37 PM , from LWN.net
Linux installers receive a disproportionate amount of attention
compared to the amount of time that most users spend with them. Ideally, a user spends only a few minutes using the installer, versus years using the distribution after it is installed. Yet, the installer sets the first impression, and if it fails to do its job, little else matters. Installers also have to continually evolve to keep pace with new hardware, changes in distribution packaging (such as image-based Linux distributions), and so forth. Along those lines, the SUSE team that maintains the venerable YaST installer has decided it's time to start (almost) fresh with a new Linux installer project, called Agama, for new projects. YaST is not going away as an administration tool, but it is likely to be relieved of installer duties at some point.
