@[email protected] @[email protected] If you want a project that's forward thinking, uses a ton of the latest tech, excels for developers (and writers and editors and ...) yet requires almost no effort on the user's part to maintain, Bluefin is a great place to hang your hat.

Posts like these and communication -- and collaboration -- with the community is a HUGE plus for the entire #UniversalBlue project.

You get:
- Stability
- Rollbacks
- Latest updates
- Batteries included

Just a delightful Linux experience, their take on AI’s cool too

ps: their dev mode’s really nice too

@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.).”

Universal Blue: otra forma de entender Linux (sin cambiarlo todo)

En el ecosistema Linux hay proyectos que nacen con la intención de romper con lo establecido, sin conseguirlo en la mayoría de las ocasiones, y otros que, sin hacer demasiado ruido, intentan avanza…

I really like the idea and practice of #bootc Is there a way for me to make a backup of the base image (with flatpaks, settings and all) from one machine and apply it to another locally? And once that is done, when I get normal updates whether through Bluefin git repos or the Fedora ones, will that overwrite settings and flatpaks I have or will it just merge?

Ok, now I have to write up something about this: https://s3kshun8.games/blog/flatpak-won/

Yeah. Well. Ok.

Let's talk about Bazzite - by which I mean Universal Blue and the bunch of related Fedora SilverBlue derived distros.

(Disclaimer: I believe there have been AI-related developments in and around this distro, so this is describing my feelings as of 6 months ago)

I came to this as a gamer: Steam on Debian Testing wasn't doing it for me any more - i.e. I had weird compatibility issues - so I was looking for something better, and Bazzite was right at the intersection of gaming-focused and interesting container-based interestingness.

Their approach is interesting: Fedora is the base, but you don't install packages, you install apps, and by apps I mean Flatpaks. Or if you need some CLI tool, you use Homebrew. (Yes, the app installer for MacOS)

I'd already used Flatpak for a couple of things on my Debian laptop, so I was familiar with it - it generally Just Works - so a thumb drive and an SSD later, I was cooking.

And it Just Worked. The game that wouldn't play: buttery smooth. Random other apps I installed? Flawless. Flatpaks and "normal" apps ("system" apps?) blend together like there isn't any real distinction. (It's nearly the same on my Debian laptop)

So what's the big deal?

And to be honest, I can't find one. I am beginning to wish more apps were Flatpaks. I recently started playing with Gram instead of VSCode, and it's nice that they provide deb packages, but it'd be nicer if it was a Flatpak. I fantasise about rebuilding more computers in my life around container images. I'm starting to worry that I'm turning into a true believer.

So yeah, who cares what your init system is, who even cares what your distro is. Flatpaks mean that I have a Linux machine in my life where the hobby is what I do with it, not tending to Linux itself. I'm somewhat concerned that I'm happy about this.

I’d been using Fedora Silverblue for forever, but have been dabbling with Bazzite recently. I don’t really game on my PC, but there were some niceties from Universal Blue or Bazzite that I wanted.

Buuut I’m getting kind of annoyed with some of the UX changes that Bazzite makes from stock GNOME. The shell extensions I can disable, but I keep finding things: fonts and window switching (alt+tab) behavior are the most recent.
