Ich bin ja schon länger Linux Nutzer und hab Fedora als Daily-Driver.

Jetzt sitzen wir hier grade und setzen Bazzite bei der Holden auf, was ja auf Silverblue, einer Atomic Distro, basiert.
Ich hab mich damit ja auch noch nicht auseinandergesetzt. Wollten AutoFS einrichten füs NAS. Geht nur unter /var, nicht unter /mnt oder /media.

Das Internet ist da aber auch nicht gerade mit Hülle & Fülle an Informationen gespickt 😬

Después de bastante tiempo, vuelvo a participar en el #ViernesDeEscritorio, en esta ocasión con un wall del videojuego F.E.A.R. 2 en el que se ve en el fondo a Alma, la peculiar antagonista de la saga (al menos en las dos primeras entregas), y en primer plano a Michael Becket, protagonista del juego y a quien controla el jugador.

La historia entre Alma y Becket es muy turbia, y además el segundo tiene un final funesto en F.E.A.R. 3.

Development on an #Immutable distro sucks. #Toolbox looks so much like an unelegant solution, with random tools polluting the host systems' .bashrc file and home directory when installing new development environments.

#emacs #vim #FedoraSilverblue #neovim

Is anyone aware of a functioning #anaconda #fedora #atomic installer?

I tried all flavor: #FedoraSilverblue #Kinoite #Budgie #Sway variant and they all crash during the installation process about one third into the installation process judging from the progress bar

Every time it is for a different reason, I cannot see a pattern here

- creating udev
- read file error
- dhcp network error
- bluetooth error

I tried several different USB sticks and microSD cards
Would be happy to hear your ideas

Looking for advice in how to rebuild initramfs on #Fedora #FedoraSilverblue

For some reason the initramfs is broken for the last 3 deployments (I had always thought it would be possible to boot into the last working deployment)

Many thanks for I should look out for when in a live system and then mounting my #LUKS encrypted partitions. I understand that rebuilding initramfs works different for ostree-based systems

I’ve got a feeling that 2026 might finally be the year of the Linux desktop. With that in mind, here’s my list of Linux distributions I’d recommend going into the new year, ranked from 1 as my top pick to 10 as still absolutely worth exploring.

1. https://linuxmint.com
2. https://debian.org
3. https://archlinux.org
4. https://secureblue.dev
5. https://fedoraproject.org
6. https://elementary.io
7. https://bazzite.gg
8. https://qubes-os.org
9. https://tails.net
10. https://paldo.org

Every project on this list brings something distinct to the table. Secureblue takes inspiration from GrapheneOS and focuses heavily on security. Bazzite is a Fedora-based distro built with gaming in mind. Tails routes all traffic through Tor by default. QubesOS isolates different parts of your digital life through strong compartmentalization. Paldo continues to push its Upkg package management approach further than most.

And before anyone starts complaining about what is or isn’t beginner-friendly: I never said this was a beginner list. These are recommendations, my recommendations, as we head into 2026.

 Happy New Year!

How Immutable Linux Could Save Libraries Thousands

In our small public library, where I volunteer weekly, we have several ten-year-old all-in-one desktops with i5 CPUs and 8 GB of RAM. They’re currently running Windows 10, and the library needs to upgrade to Windows 11, according to the IT folks at the library system. Those of us who are regular Linux users know that there is almost no such thing as a computer too old for Linux. Why should these libraries be forced to purchase new computers, especially now that memory prices are skyrocketing, when a different operating system could keep the computers secure, extend their lifetime, and save these libraries thousands of dollars?

The search for a solution led me to consider Fedora Silverblue, which is an immutable Linux desktop. I’ve been reading about immutable Linux distributions for a couple of years, but I hadn’t explored them until today. Immutable Linux distributions use a read-only root filesystem. That means it cannot be changed the way a typical Linux filesystem can. This means that every installation is identical to every other installation of the same version.

Immutable systems like Silverblue can be configured for kiosk mode in libraries and other public spaces that allow patrons to use them for internet access and other uses but do not allow those patrons to change the core system in any way.

I downloaded Silverblue and gave it a try. I set it up in VirtualBox, and after it was installed, I started it up. It ran well, and I looked at other Atomic Desktops on the Fedora Project website. Cosmic Atomic caught my eye as I have been running Cosmic from System76 on my laptop for a couple of weeks. I downloaded the ISO, created a bootable USB drive, and installed it on my Dell Latitude 7410.

The laptop has a quad-core Intel Core i7-10610U processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB SSD. It’s about four years old. I purchased it recently for projects like testing distributions. I connected the USB drive to the laptop, pressed the power button, then pressed F12 to boot from USB and started the install, which took some time. I was prompted to choose an install location and provide a username and password. Once the installation was complete and the computer restarted, I logged in to Cosmic Atomic for the first time. The initial login looked identical to my experience with Cosmic on Pop!_OS, but then I noticed some changes from my past experiences with traditional Linux distributions. LibreOffice was not installed by default. Firefox was installed by default, so I had access to a browser. I learned from reading that immutable distributions like this one use Flatpak to install other programs, such as the Brave browser, Chrome, LibreOffice, Visual Studio Code, and more.

I opened a terminal to use inxi and discovered that it was not installed by default. I tried using dnf to install inxi, but that doesn’t work on an immutable system. Some research and reading showed me that to install utilities like that, I needed to use a new command to change the immutable system.

$ rpm-ostree install inxi

Follow that command with systemctl restart, and I was in business to look at my system. I can see advantages to immutable systems. There are distinct advantages to immutable systems. They are reliable and easy to maintain. The core system is locked down so it cannot be compromised by malware. Applications are easily installed from the ‘Cosmic Store’ for Cosmic Atomic. Click the application you want to install, and in short order, it is added and ready to use. No need to remember to use

$ sudo dnf install application

Once the application is installed, it appears as it should in your library. The applications seemed to run faster on their Flatpak installs, but that might be an illusion. In any event I am impressed at how easy application installation is and how well the ‘Cosmic Store’ is appointed.

Exploring Fedora Silverblue and Cosmic Atomic reminded me that aging hardware doesn’t have to be a burden—especially for places like public libraries, where every dollar matters. Immutable Linux desktops offer a modern, secure, and low‑maintenance alternative that can extend the life of capable machines while reducing costs and complexity. After installing and testing Cosmic Atomic on a four‑year‑old laptop, it’s clear that these systems deliver a smooth, reliable experience without demanding new hardware or constant tinkering. As libraries face pressure to upgrade to Windows 11, it’s worth asking whether the real solution lies not in replacing computers, but in rethinking the operating systems we rely on. Embracing Linux could empower libraries to stay secure, stay functional, and stay within budget—a win for staff, volunteers, and the communities they serve.
