Congrats to the #Fedora peeps for the release of Fedora 37!

If you want to try it out, I *strongly* recommend using Silverblue: rock solid immutable base OS, containerised applications using Flatpak, and on demand, scratch containers using toolbox. It's the future.

@ebassi toolbox or… toolbx?

@ebassi Agree with everything, except that I switched to distrobox instead of toolbox, so I can use other distros than Fedora, and set a custom home dir for each container

@nahuel @ebassi same here, I use Debian stable as default shell container. I love Silverblue.

@nahuel @ebassi You can use other distros with Toolbx.

@gnumdk @nahuel @ebassi This really is! I'd rather not layer something else and use something like this, since it fits my use case.

I used Silverblue for about 6 months, but returned to regular fedora afterwards. I still use it like I'm used to with Silverblue but some things are not ready for Silverblue yet.

Are you saying we should give up the pleasure of messing up our machines to the point of being unbootable?
That's totally unacceptable!!!! 😛😜🤪

@ebassi silverblue as a workstation os? I've always used vanilla Workstation and believed, it seems incorrectly, that Silverblue was focused as a container host for server-y installs.
Show threadEmmanuele BassiNov 20, 2022
@andrew Silverblue is really Fedora Workstation, but instead of a bunch of RPM packages, you get an immutable base OS with the ability to layer additional packages on top if you need to. GUI applications come from Flatpak, and if you need an environment for specific functionality, like development, you use containers.
