An absolutely huge failing of my #Kinoite on Lappy is the atm 100% inability to be able to connect to my dad's pooter to do some tech support for him. Both #AnyDesk & #RustDesk work fine for that critical task from my Tower's #ArchLinux #KDE #Plasma. Ofc that's not an immutable, but it is #Wayland. Trouble is, atm Tower is all disconnected & partly pulled apart, for reasons.

In Lappy's Kinoite [also Wayland]:

• AD & RD Flatpaks did not work [cannot now recall any specifics, twas a week ago]
• AD & RD #Distroboxes also DNW.
• AD layered onto the core system with rpm-ostree does launch, does let me connect to him, but uselessly then presents an entirely blank window, ffs
• RD layered onto the core system with rpm-ostree does launch only in as much as its icon then appears on the Plasma panel task manager, but its actual window is entirely transparent, ie, invisible. In fact i can only know it's there via Plasma's Overview & Desktop Grid, in which is manifests as a rectangular border of transparent content [ie, i just see my own desktop wallpaper thru it]

Given dad rang me for help, i'm gonna hafta partly put Tower back together again & use it. I am really unimpressed.

How on earth do other users of Kinoite manage to use AD or RD?

#DadsPooterProject

My new fav VM, ergo distro candidate once the day finally arrives when i utterly destroy my #ArchLinux Host & need to reinstall.

#Aurora #UniversalBlue #Fedora #KDEPlasma #Distrobox

1/5/24: Created from aurora-latest.iso via https://getaurora.dev/, which is based on Fedora Kinoite 40 afaik.
Did auto-partitioning, with LUKS.

4/5/24: This distro is impressive!

• Includes nice native system updater tool [its Plasma & Frameworks versions match Arch's], nice lean pkg suite from original installation, & a bloody fabbo native GUI tool for creating innumerable #Distroboxes.
• I created an #Arch one, in which i installed yay & thence ConkyManager2, & exported it [via that GUI tool] to the Aurora/Fedora/Plasma App Menu. It all works brilliantly.
  
• So this distro is better than Fedora's #Kinoite IMO coz these lovely #QoL touches. I get the stability & hand-holding of an atomic Fedora KDE base, seamless Flatpak installation via Discover, & the full range of #AUR goodness via Distrobox.
• Win! 🎉️💜️
