Butterbian

Butterbian is a Debian 13 (Trixie) installer built around one idea: your system should be snapshotted before anything breaks it. Most distros leave BTRFS and Timeshift as an exercise for the user. Butterbian does it for you — subvolumes laid out correctly, Timeshift configured, grub-btrfs wired in, so you can roll back from GRUB if it all goes sideways.

@dobbie003 Thanks 🤓 I'll try to keep up with it 🤣 Tbh, right now the Debian btrfs project by Drew (with dwm and qtile amongst others) is an awesome project. It installs through a tui he build himself from bash scripts. He previously referenced #archlabs and #archbang as his 'examples' that he really enjoyed using. It's cool. Recommended!

The vibrant landscape. I can't give it up. So many exciting things happening:
- RakuOS: immutable bootc image, but with a normal package manager. And Cosmic.
- Project Bluefin: the Dakota alpha is out, which is based on Gnome OS. So no more distro involved, pure Gnome as the basis.
- Butterknife: as mentioned yesterday Debian Stable, btrfs snapshots and a number of window managers to choose from (Qtile, Awesome, dwm, Sway, SwayFX, i3). Plus good looks and many, many scripts to install additional sw (Helium, Zen, ghostty etc etc).
- TunaOS: the bootc concept for enterprise Linux, based on Alma and CentOS. But also Bonito, which provides Fedora44 and Niri!
Wild!

Shout out to Drew aka @justaguylinux who just introduced his Butterknife project and iso. Used his xfce spin briefly before, but was anxiously waiting for the window manager version. Great stuff, Drew, just watched the YT vid about it. I'll certainly have a go at that Qtile one. And dwm of course ☺️ Thanks 👍🏻

#Butterbian just got a bit better and smoother (for me) by adding a dash of #Gnome to my set up. It might a be a bit more work for this lower powered #ebox, but now it is more fun to use.
