Description Allison King 2025-12-04 13:27:22 UTC

This is a tracking bug for Change: Changes/UseKmsconVTConsole
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UseKmsconVTConsole

This change is to replace the kernel console '''fbcon''' with the userspace console '''kmscon''' in Fedora, to provide an enhanced and more secure console for Fedora users.

The long term goal is also to deprecate fbcon/fbdev emulation in the kernel, and this is the first step in this direction.

If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.
