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.

I’m fine with other changes, like using Bazaar by default and the way updates are handled.

Should I just go back to Silverblue, or is there a stock GNOME Universal Blue image that would make sense to use? What would the less-visible differences be?

@thibaultamartin oh, I forgot to mention GNOME OS in the thread. I am not opposed! I just don’t think I should use it on my primary work computer rn… but I’d love to some day.

@cassidy @thibaultamartin It's surprisingly good and stable. I have bluefin on one laptop and gnome os on another. I use both often.

@sri @cassidy @thibaultamartin I can also vouch for GNOME OS as a stable OS - its everything I have ever wanted, and I have had few issues (and when I did, its easy to rollback). I recommend it for most GNOME contributors

@sri @cassidy @thibaultamartin Which is probably saying a lot given the fact
- I use an Nvidia Card
- I have the most broken Arch installs of anyone on fedi*
