Difference between silverblue / universal Blue / Bluefin / Aurora / BAzzite - sh.itjust.works

Hi ! I’m a little confuse between all immutable versions based on fedora. Is this correct : universal blue = tool to create image, based on fedora atomic desktop ? With universal blue, they created : - Bluefin = gnome - Bluefin-DX = gnome + developper tools - Aurora = kde - Aurora-DX = kde + developper tools - Bazzite = games What the difference between silverble and bluefin for example, and which are you using ?

There’s also secureblue 🤣

My quick play w them: fedora(company) atomic distros like silver blue(gnome) vanilla way. Ublue(some independent developers) making their own versions/spins of fedora, eg bluefin, aurora, bazzite. Focused on a better experience.

Secureblue(some independent developers), also making their own versions/spins of fedora but focused on privacy/security.

None of them could see my network printer so I went back to normal fedora.

Immutable distros way bigger learning curve.

Secureblue ships Chromium, is lead by a single person and does not care about privacy “if it leads to worse security” (i.e. preinstalling Chromium and removing Firefox, even though there is no evidence that Chromium is more secure, it may likely be less secure)

is lead by a single person

Ultimately, (some) decisions are made by single person. However, the list of maintainers suggests that contributions are welcome.

even though there is no evidence that Chromium is not even less secure)

The double negation makes it hard to understand; but if I would give it a try, then I would get the following:

“even though there is evidence that Chromium is even less secure)”

If the above represents your views, could you provide said evidence?
