What’s the actual difference to fedora silverblue?

Hi! Co-maintainer here, you can find the differences in the github repo: https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin

And there's a doc page going over it here: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/docs?topic=41

If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer them!

I use homebrew on linux, you're not going to get GUI apps that way though, the linux binaries are almost exclusively cli apps and libraries, etc.
Co-maintainer here. That's basically what it is. The value proposition is included hardware enablement on the image (nvidia drivers, controller support, etc). and flathub ootb.
Co-maintainer here, yep, you got it!
Of course you can install gparted, you can run just about anything that you want, it's still Linux.
The OCI features are pretty new (they won't hit Fedora until F40) so there's catching up to do still. They'll get there at some point, there's just a vast amount of existing work out there that they need to account for.

Yeah, look at the examples here: https://github.com/coreos/layering-examples for an ansible example.

Though some modules don't work (the flatpak one doesn't work unfortunately). This is also useful: https://github.com/j1mc/ansible-silverblue

Hope it helps!

Should work fine, bazzite even has a premade one, try it:
