Fedora 38 Might Ship With A Sway ISO Spin

It would be cool if there was some kind of install "manifest" (maybe there is, and I suppose in a way has to be) that shows what gets installed with various options. I get the need or want for various live ISO images. But that aside, having a "universal" netinstaller image where you can read through the manifests of various install options would be cool.

On a side note, I have been installing some various Gnome based distros in VirtualBox, and clearly they each have their own ideas what what all they want to install. Some are more lightweight, so include "the kitchen sink." Anyway, this is all a processes, and I want the Linux desktop to have a more mainstream place as an option, as I despise Apple in certain ways and Windows and it's constant online integration (live tiles, telemetry, etc.) is getting too much for me.

Yeah, it's called Windows or MacOS.

Indeed. Windows 2000 got it spot on. But unfortunately is no longer available to users. So we use the next best.

The command line.

Well I am not sure if this is what you mean, but kickstart perhaps?

I tend to go this route for new rigs as I can just get it setup quickly with precisely what I want.

Thanks schotty! I know this is a late response, but just saw this. I ended asking the same/similar question on a Fedora IRC channel, and someone mentioned kickstart as well. I had heard of it, but guess never looked into. I did look at a couple kickerstarter config files, but I'll also now read more of the docs you linked. Thanks again.
