Can you see when I started daily driving Gnome OS?

#gnome #gnomeos

Yesterday, I attempted to install GNOME OS on my PC, but it seems that the partitioning feature is still a work in progress. I would prefer if the partitioning process could be automated to accommodate multiple storage devices.

Additionally, it appears that I need to format the disk using the Disks utility while in live mode to access my storage devices.

I look forward to using it soon.

I found the first one!! Abderrahim's #GNOMEOS phone! #GUADEC2025

#GnomeOS was fun to play around with. I was thinking of installing it on my lappy, but it lacks the ability to easily install drivers (need broadcom drivers for wifi).

So now I am trying out #PikaOS, a gamer oriented #Debian #Sid based distro; specifically I am trying out there #Niri edition. So far things look pretty cool out of the box.

On my way to one of the best conferences of the year! Get all your devices with #GNOMEOS ready! :) #GUADEC2025

@razze If you have #gnomeos, can you please try adding the #flathub repo with the #floss subset using a #flatpakrepo file?

On fedora 42 with #gnomesoftware 48.3, it adds the entire unfiltered repo, while adding it on the command line works.

The point is to create an easy way for nontechies to add flathub-floss by just opening a flatpakrepo file in gnome software, without using the terminal.

Since I have been playing with #GnomeOS, I went back to my main distro (#Nobara) to change things up a bit on my desktop (aka tweak the top bar and dock).

I think I am gonna stay with a light themed desktop for awhile. In addition, I am trying to see if I can comfortably get away with a minimal doc; maybe eventually move to no dock. In my head, the idea of mono tasking seems like a noble effort.

Anywho, here is a quick screen grab of my Nobara Gnome DE setup along with the cursory #fastfetch info displayed like the good ol #Neofetch layout.

Okay, after playing around some more with #GnomeOS I am liking what it is: a #Gnome centric #Flatpak driven atomic/immutable operating system.

After some tinkering and hunting around, I was able to find alternatives to the many apps/packages that I would install via the #CLI. Honestly it is kind of nice being able to do almost everything in a well crafted #GUI.

I am going to play with it some more. Maybe this will be the OS that changes my minds towards immutable/atomic distros?

Currently playing around with two thingies at the moment:
1) Playing around with the #Cinnamon DE (plain Cinnamon, not the Ubuntu altered version) on the #OrangePiRV2. So far things are looking good AND Chromium works (at least on the #Wayland session; have not tested the #Xorg session).

2) I found a spare external ssd drive that I am testing out #GnomeOS with my main PC. It looks interesting; some decisions they made seem a bit odd...

Oh here is a cursory screenshot of the Orange Pi running Cinnamon. Also, this was written on the Orange Pi too! (see if you can spot the typos in my screenshot)

Thanks to the work of pioneers from #postmarketos it is actually easy to install any Linux OS on some phones. Here is #gnomeos on a OnePlus 6 that was installed through USB using systemd-repart. A few tweaks here and there, but it is almost stock GNOME OS.
