Isn't it SDDM instead of SSDM ?

ARM, Application installer, sendmail purged from default? Desktop and tablets, brace yourself. Fedora for human beings are coming.

Wayland too?

It is. But either way this is awesome news.

Wayland too?

right desition with arm, but we need a tablet-wm or sometting ^^ are there some qt-based that can be installed in a normal distro easily? I think on tablets and even smartphones.

but other than that it sounds not to interesting... hope thats only a incomplete list... like somebody said wayland have to be default, its fedora bleeding edge testing stuff blabla distro

All I care about is that you can install using RAID + LVM + LUKS. I knew this was missing from 18 and I forgave them for that but I was truly flabbergasted that they didn't have it sorted for 19. I even tried dropping LVM but I still couldn't get it to work. The interface isn't as horribly buggy as it was in 18 but it still seems to have some quirks. In the end, I had to do a minimal install of 17 and then upgrade, which is ridiculous. I don't consider Kickstart to be an acceptable solution but I did try it anyway and couldn't get that to work either. It seemed to get stuck on the "starting installation" bit or something. I've used Debian's preseeding stuff before without issue. I like that system because if you miss anything out, it just prompts you for it as usual.

Kickstart works exactly the same way. If you miss anything, Anaconda will prompt for it. If it doesn't, that is a bug. All the other issues should be reported in bugzilla as well for the relevant developers to see it
