Instalador

The Fedora Silverblue installer now supports pre-installed flatpaks. These are a part of the installation image and will always be installed.

ZRAM is now started during live installation, which allows the installation to run on some systems with lower memory than before.

Starting with Fedora 31, password-based root logins over SSH are disabled by default (see Security). To ease the transition, the installer now provides a checkbox in the graphical user interface in the Root Password screen which can override this behavior and enable password-based root SSH logins.

GUI screens from the User Settings category have been moved to the Summary Hub.

Support for hiding certain screens using a configuration file is now provided by the hidden_spokes option in the Anaconda config file, as opposed to the user interaction config file which was used to do this in previous releases.

The default size of the EFI System Partition created using automatic partitioning has been increased to 200-600 MiB.

An existing unlocked LUKS device cannot be used for the installation without an encryption key. The installer will now show a warning and ask a user to rescan the storage.

When the boot drive is not specified, the installer will now try to find a disk with a valid stage1 device. In previous releases the installer instead looked for a disk with a /boot partition, which is not guaranteed to be a valid stage1 device.

You can now switch between chosen keyboard layouts without accessing the keyboard spoke to approve the changed layout.

The installer no longer fails when no primary monitor is configured by the user.

Displaying multiple IP addresses in the Network spoke in the GUI has been improved.
