Vince Pooley, the founder of the Chapeau project, had the great pleasure of announcing today, June 13, the immediate availability for download of the final release of the Chapeau 22 Linux operating system.
Based on the Fedora 22 Workstation distribution and
built around the latest GNOME 3.16 desktop environment Chapeau 22 is
dubbed Indurain and comes with gorgeous artwork based on the Moka and
Faba themes, the latest open-source software and technologies, and
numerous attractive features that are not present in the upstream Fedora
22 Linux distro.
Prominent features of Chapeau 22 include the latest
versions of the Mozilla Firefox, LibreOffice, VLC Media Player, Wine,
PlayOnLinux, Steam for Linux, and GNOME Boxes applications, the addition
of the GNOME Calendar, GNOME Photos, GNOME Books, GNOME Power Manager,
and systemadm apps, as well as new wallpapers.
Moreover, the Pitivi video editor software has been
replaced with OpenShot, Adobe Flash Player plugin has been added to the
default web browser, the RPMFusion software sources are now
preconfigured, and the official Dropbox client has been integrated.

While the Fedora 22 Workstation uses Wayland,
Chapeau 22 defaults to the X11 display server, disabling the Wayland
session. Also, the distribution includes out-of-the-box support for
multimedia playback and software virtualization based on KVM
(Kernel-based Virtual Machine).
DNF is now the default package manager
Being based on Fedora 22, the new Chapeau 22 release
inherits some of its Linux technologies, such as the brand-new DNF
package manager that replaces the old-school YUM tool, and Linux kernel
4.0. Of course, DNF can be used to install, update and remove packages
from a Chapeau installation.
"Chapeau includes access to software repositories
from other projects. At the time of release the Korora 22 rpm repository
used for pulling updates of the Pharlap application is not yet
available," says Vince Pooley. "Because of this, if using dnf on the
command-line you will notice a warning for this repository until it
becomes available."
The latest version of the distribution also borrows
some elements from the Korora distribution, such as Pharlap, a utility
that allows users to install proprietary drivers.
