Paul Richards@tsuri_by Bluefin because even though it claims to not be a distro it’s somehow the best distro. :)

If you could not find an excuse to use Bazaar instead of straight going with Flatpak in the command line, I'll just give one that is now good enough for me.
I wanted to install a given app, and just because it already showed up in the Gnome search list, I just clicked, and that brought me to Bazaar. When I clicked "Install" it gave me a pretty interesting warning to let me know that the application is high risk, and it was very specific about which security concerns there are.
I tried to install the same app using the Flatpak command line and I did NOT get the same warning.
Sold. Bazaar all the way now.
Daniel Wayne ArmstrongI explored the immutable Bluefin Linux on my mini pc for a week. Very solid project!
Even more so than a Linux aimed at developers, I could see it being a great *first* Linux for someone with the pre-installed Flatpak software centre, automatic updates, atomic read-only system images, and rollbacks if things go wonky.
But I'll be putting Chimera back on the box. I guess I'm just a mutable "read-write" kind of guy. 🙂
JumpyViUbuntu based #bootc, composefs and systemd-boot image running on bare-metal.
Using all the same cool tools #bluefin uses.
@bitflipped maybe try Bluefin? It got a mention in the recent Fedora 44 Atomic update post:
“As always, I heavily recommend checking them out, especially if you feel like some things are missing from the Fedora Atomic Desktops and you depend on them (NVIDIA drivers, extra media codec, out of tree kernel drivers, etc.).”

cmars 🅅@jorge I saw that. Glad you fixed it in #bluefin. At time of writing, my #bazzite machine is still unpatched and vulnerable. I can't rmmod, I don't have grubby to block it on boot.
I raised the bluefin issue on Github, was told it was not a major risk because it's not remotely exploitable.
Well I disagree with that. Local and remote isn't as separate as one might expect, now more than ever. Everyone has a personal threat model and tolerance for risk and this whole copy.fail thing brought that into sharp focus for me.
I am totally melting this strix halo. I'm using this tool to run a memory system locally. I can even send the local model to do stuff as a subagent. And then someday, completely local.
That makes sense to me, this is just the AI version of "hybrid cloud". The other workload maxing the CPU cores is building #gnomeos and #bluefin dakota, which I do all locally via this setup - test NUC reboots.

Hey @kyle greg k-h was explaining his setup to me and now I am kind of motivated to see how people home lab this stuff out. I am going for the "locally driven testlab to make Project Bluiefin" because that would make a good talk lol.

I started using Bluefin and Fedora Silverblue at the end of 2023. The concept of primarily using cloud technology and containers matched perfectly with my workflow.
