Hi,
I've packaged 3 userspace consoles, on my copr repository for Fedora.
They can replace fbcon (The default kernel-based console), have more
features (like scrolling) and are more secure as they run in userspace.
* Kmscon: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jfalempe/kmscon/
* Cage/foot or Gnome-kiosk/Ptyxis:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jfalempe/Userspacevt/
You can follow the instructions to install one of them, and set it as
your default console for testing.
You won't be able to launch a graphic environment from there (like
startx) but you can still restart your main graphic environment if it
has crashed.
Also this won't replace the emergency console if there is an issue in
your ramdisk, or to prompt for the disk encryption password (if not
using plymouth).
The long-term goal would be to deprecate fbcon, and use drm_log and
userspace consoles to achieve a similar user experience, so that's a
first step in that direction.
Best regards,
