Fedora Workstation 45 VM QEMU/KVM Fedora-45-20260818.n.0 [1] [1] The initial setup worked fine, but was by far the slowest setup I did. Past testing days with the same setup on the same machine were much faster. There were big delays between clicks and system responses. Delays caused confusion as to what is going on.

Vitezslav Humpa
Live-iso: virt-manager VM, spice+virtio, 4GB ram [1] [1] The installation went fine. Only issue - after booting the live iso, pressing the "Install" button in the initial screen did not open installer. EDIT: it just took really long (40s) - the welcome screen's "Install" button provides no loading indicator, and the user has no way to know the installer is starting up in the background. The fedora-welcome GJS script (/usr/share/anaconda/gnome/fedora-welcome:107) just calls anacondaApp.launch() and immediately closes the window — no spinner, no "starting..." message.

Fedora Workstation 45 VM QEMU/KVM Fedora-45-20260818.n.0 [1] [1] Very slow, the loading times are looong.

One glitch noticed: with "Expandable Folders in List View" I expended a folder with one image file and even the expander animated it did not show the content. I cannot reproduce on will though. It can also be a slowness due to thumbnailing, maybe, even for small images (50.6k here). I do not know. Not reported, due to lack of reproducibility.

Celluloid plays the video without issue, totem will open and display an error message about the missing codec (both installed as rpm's from official F45 repo).

VM from Fedora-45-20260817.n.0 [1] [1] screen reader works as decribed in the test, the only odd thing for me is that when I select "Window button" with Ctrl+Alt+Tab, then it does not seem to do anything visually, even the focus stays where it was (like the System menu), but no idea what it's supposed to do.

Live-iso: virt-manager VM, spice+virtio, 4GB ram [1] [1] Explored installed live system via SSH. Found a gnome-session-service coredump (SIGABRT) from the live ISO boot — the gnome-initial-setup session fails to shut down cleanly due to the missing gnome-initial-setup user (BZ#2511997). Also: gnome-boxes search provider spams errors when searching from the Overview (Boxes is installed but libvirt is not). No failed systemd units, no SELinux denials beyond BZ#2517426 (avatar), system otherwise healthy.
