Hi there. We just learned that there's an opportunity to have a brand new Fedora Media Writer 5.0 (with a completely redone UI, but using the same background code) together with the Fedora 36 release. The timing is tight, but we agreed that we'd like to give it a try.

We'd like to gather test feedback today and tomorrow, so that we can decide whether it's a good idea to make it public next week on Tuesday for F36 GA (assuming we're GO today). If it doesn't work well, we'll ask Jan Grulich, the developer, to keep to the old FMW 4.2 for now.

The latest 5.0 builds are here:

and here:

Can you please help us test FMW 5.0 on all possible platforms and system configurations as possible, and report here?

There's a guide here for making FMW see the latest F36 RCs, instead of feeding it the ISO manually:

(of course the Setup phase doesn't apply, use the links above instead)

Please tell us which version you tested (rpm/flatpak/windows/mac), on which OS, with which hardware (especially the GPU could be relevant for rendering the UI, and if you used closed/open drivers in case of Nvidia), and how it went. Thanks!
