In parallel with the transition of the GNOME OS distribution to use the systemd-sysupdate component to organize atomic system updates, started development of a new installer for GNOME OS. The development is still at the initial prototype stage, which is based on the interface layouts published in April, prepared by the designers of the GNOME project. At the current stage of development, the main focus is still on the general architecture and determining the internal logic of work, for example, organizing navigation and setting the order of page display in preparation for installation. The installer code is developed in Rust and distributed by licensed under GPLv3.
GNOME OS is an experimental distribution for GNOME developers and testers to evaluate the state of desktop environment development, explore new features as they emerge, and test their applications running on development branches of GNOME. To demonstrate the interface of the initial prototype of the installer for desktop and mobile systems, several videos are presented:
