Now that I'm running Fedora Kinoite I wanted to get weekly reboots on my daily driver to make sure I'm ready with the latest image for a new week. After figuring out rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer I am now able to check for and apply updates Monday morning so my daily driver is ready to go by time I'm ready to work. The move from Windows->Linux->Immutable Linux has been the most computer fun I have had in a long time.
I'm not sure how I found this album recently but the opening line on the first track just sets a tone I need these days.
"Hello, we're glad you made it! Welcome to the future!"
I'm trying to use this as a hopeful, let's be positive vibe, to counteract my natural doom and gloom attitude.
It's all changing, everything looks bleak, but we can make it better.

Fedora 44 dropped this week. After in-place updating my various machines with very little problems (dear Cisco, you suck at software, do better!), I decided to try something new and re-formatted my daily driver to Fedora Kinoite 44, the immutable KDE version of Fedora. With most my of app usage now in flatpak/appimage/web based applications the transition was easy. Lets see how I do long term.

We had an event last night at a low income housing community here in Olympia. We brought some Nixbooks, gave them away and showed people how to use them.
These people are NOT technical and still all said that Nixbook was far easier to use than any other computer they had used in the past.
All these laptops were headed for the scrapyard, but now thanks to Linux are out there changing peoples lives. :)
I really need to get better with Docker containers. Immich looks to be a really good alternative to Google Photos or Apple Photos. Maybe even look at moving from Syncthing to Nextcloud.
As someone that has always been half-in half-out traditionally when it comes to #OpenSource software, Cory Doctorow's (@pluralistic) recent essay regarding interoperability and open source speaks to me. Since moving my main desktop to #Linux I just want more and more of it and what it stands for!
In my continuing journeys in #Linux I decided to try out #Fedora #Kinoite on an older Dell Latitude 5420 today. I have to say going immutable is not as hard as I was fearing. Especially because I am already deep in the #Flatpak life. I was able to connect to my NFS shares on startup, setup #Syncthing, and even update my firmware using #fwupdmgr with no issues. My next task might be going all in on my gaming PC, I just need to ween myself off #Destiny2.
So I briefly switched back to my Mac Mini as I was having some issues with using Cisco Anyconnect. Turns out it's a bug in the KDE Plasma UI for Network Manager that ignores anything after the first / in a URL. CLI works fine though. Back to my #Linux box where it is all "just working" and daily use is overall "uneventful".
