I have been lobbying for this feature in #bazaar - in #bluefin we will use this as a develolper portalish area.

"Set this shit up like WSL" or k8s native, all out of the box with some lightweight hooks and links.

@siosm and I discuss this a bunch. The goal here is, app stores are so ... linux, "let's list packages". Why are people talking about packages we solved this lol. We can move on now.

"Give me the S-tier local podman setup" isn't an app. "I work at a k8s shop but I'm just a front end person give me the guardrails" isn't an app.

Experiences aren't apps - we will offer curated choices based on what people actually use -> "I am coming from windows and use WSL" will just get you that experience, chonky #ubuntu container and everything.

Ship it it's userspace.

@[email protected] And you do not have to be a developer to enjoy the benefits of #Bluefin. All the usual Linux desktop tasks can be done here, and you don't have to worry about updates or upgrades. Just turn on the computer, add your apps and get busy.

#Bluefin doesn't replace #Toolbox with #Distrobox. The image includes both. Use your favorite. And probably 99% of the things you want to layer can be taken care of with #Homebrew, which is also included on the image. I still use Distrobox for my development environments, but those everyday CLI utilities come from Brew. https://projectbluefin.io/

I'm pretty happy with the Lenovo T14 Bluefin install. Snappy, nice-looking, all the important dev tools under the hood.

My only complaint: The trackpad. Is the trackpad on these machines terrible? Or is there some linux optimization that I need to do?

At times it feels like trying to control a computer with mittens on. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the big macbook pro trackpad that I've been using for ages?

@Tutanota I've just started my journey: moved fully to Tuta 2 weeks ago. #Bluefin Linux on laptop. #GrapheneOS in mobile; Using #LibreWolf and #Mullvad browser; #bitwarden: #enteauthenticator; #cryptpad for online docs; #signal for comms.
And anxiously waiting for #tutadrive

Currently switching my #homelab from #docker compose stacks managed with #Komodo to #Podman #quadlets. Other quadlet users, how do you handle remote managment ? SSH ? #cockpit ? Something else ? I'm only interested in solutions installable as #containers , since I'm on #bluefin .

That Dakotaraptor is awesome. This mornings iso did work for me. 7:49 minutes install, encrypted, tpm unlock, homebrew, distrobox, flatpak, GnomeOS. Most interestingly: this is not a distro, it's an image, with everything included. Hope the team will make a KDE Dakota. But this is great. Exciting tech that just works.

@sesivany @jon +1 for #Bluefin everything is taken care of ootb, unlike other distros there's nothing major to set up for the average user. They dont really need to see the terminal or even do manual updates - just reboot ocassionally and the system even reminds to do that.
