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.

#GNOME #Linux #Bazzite #UniversalBlue

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?

@cassidy run before @alatiera embarks you on a GNOME OS journey
@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 need to start gathering testimonials from people about how shockingly stable they found GNOME OS and how it was not a big deal in the end.

You should totally try it, you have all the people you need on speedial anyway 😆

@alatiera @sri @cassidy @thibaultamartin do many people even use GNOME OS that you're likely to be able to find testimonials? I thought it was just a development / reference platform
@fraggle @alatiera @cassidy @thibaultamartin just wanted to mention @fraggle that I love Sopwith. I still play that game after 3.5 decades.

@sri
Always a pleasure to encounter another fan! I'm the maintainer of the version that's found in most Linux distros. You might want to check out the website, I'm still actively working on it and recently added support for custom missions (levels) among other things:

The game's 40th birthday was a couple of years ago and I organized a celebration, including an interview with the author. Have a look through the history section if you're curious; I think it's on the second page
