🔥 Bazzite: la Fedora immutabile per gaming e handheld con Steam e HDR integrati

@LightKind @vuuc Even if you’re not a gamer. You can also try https://getaurora.dev. Also made by #universalblue. Works the same as Bazzite but is more a workstation OS.

One of the big things I like about the #UniversalBlue world is the openness -- especially the sharing of information.
Once I realized that #Bluefin and Bluefin LTS both updated on a weekly cadence, that made me want to switch from LTS to regular.
https://docs.projectbluefin.io/changelogs/
I wasn't so worried about changing kernels and packages as I was by the frequency of updates.
Specifically I wanted to get away from daily updates (#Tumbleweed-based #Aeon is VERY dynamic).
Weekly is more what I want.

@steltenpower @matv1 Yup, maar verandering bij ICT is vaak ervaren.
Voorbeeld: Bij 3 collega’s op hun oude laptops (2019) Aurora van #universalblue geïnstalleerd. Firefox en Edge. Edge om gemakkelijker vanuit thuis ‘op school’ te werken. Voor al het anderen Firefox. (Eentje wilde Chrome,… 🤢) LibreOffice, VLC, etc.
Heb ik gedaan omdat ik het leuk vind. En zonde als die dingen niet meer gebruikt zouden worden.
Reactie: Huh,.. dit werkt net als Windows?
Me: Yep, en beter voor je privacy. 🥳 -
BananaFin, my mix of project Banana (immutable KDE/Aurora) and BlueFin, is reaching finalization.Tomorrow some more testing (have brew and flatpak install my own applications upon first boot), but it is all running very smoothly. Aside from this being my hobby as well, you'd just install this and get on with it. And yes, it's a bootc container, from the cloud, secure boot enabled and it runs flatpaks and systemd. And very well, thank you!

A post from @jorge on Homebrew in Linux, which is the present and future for Ublue:

@mattdm @sozutovo @fedora Even in Fedora Atomic upgrades are not automatic. Someone has to press a button. In my experience watching people using any computing device, many people do not see or care about notifications. People will fall on EOL OS image for years unless you do yearly support.
So, I'd substitute #UniversalBlue in this response.
Lack of automatic updates is the reason #Fedora #Silverblue is not my first recommendation to beginners, preferring #EndlessOS or #UBlue instead.

Switched to Bluefin DX over Fedora Silverblue and while everything was a bit more painful to customize for me because it has so much more stuff preinstalled and floating around in it, I will say once that was done it's been more enjoyable to use on the whole. I like using brew for CLI packages and flatpak for apps and that's all setup for me out of the box. Bazaar for flatpaks is interesting. It still feels pretty young but is worlds faster than gnome software. It doesn't feel as newbie friendly but that's fine for me and I specifically chose the developer focused version so I'm sure that has something to do with it.
#UniversalBlue #ublue #ProjectBluefin #FedoraSilverblue #FedoraP.S. Dinosaurs are rad!

finally got around to adding in default flatpaks as part of my ISO builds for Zeliblue, just like how Bluefin and Bazzite do it, so the first-boot experience on my image is a lot nicer now
that is only for the ISOs from the Github action, tho, which I don't (currently) provide public downloads for
for rebasers and otherwise, there's also now a `restore-default-apps` `just` command (also like Bluefin and Bazzite have) to do as the name suggests
-
ok so alongside the brief stint on Bluefin and borrowing more stuff from it, I also switched Zeliblue over to use the fsync kernel à la Bazzite
there's no "custom kernel" module in BlueBuild right now, but we do have a containerfile module, so, here's how that's going: https://github.com/zelikos/zeliblue/pull/256

I've merged my experimental COSMIC image into Zeliblue's main branch
it's still mostly experimental since COSMIC is still in alpha, but it does mean new builds will happen daily instead of only when I pushed to the initial PR
main changes I have for it vs upstream uBlue base image are including most of the GNOME apps I use in Zeliblue, to fill in the gaps in default apps that COSMIC has (such as a web browser or an audio/video player)
-
A quick overview of Universal Blue, Bazzite & Bluefin, and BlueBuild: https://youtu.be/GyMqCZYNPzE
-
COSMIC desktop alpha is out, uBlue has been doing builds of COSMIC base images
so what better way to check out COSMIC than setting up a spin of my custom image
-
finally got around to setting up ISO builds for Zeliblue again, since uBlue switched over to offline ISOs a while ago
next step would be for me to maybe finally show the Zeliblue page on my website some love, and provide a download link... https://zelikos.dev/apps/zeliblue
...but for now, just having the ISO builds in CI again is great
-
spent the evening working on a new branch for Zeliblue: porting everything from BlueBuild to instead be based around uBlue's own image-template stuff. this was all for the sake of experimenting, to evaluate differences between the two approaches of doing a custom uBlue image
tl;dr:
the extra flexibility of the latter approach is enticing, but there's a lot more to learn vs using BlueBuild's YAML-based approach to customizing things -
@bitprophet seems very similar to what @UniversalBlue is doing, especially with #Bluefin. But so far I love using Bluefin. I do also love #Debian so might try VanillaOS on another computer or VM.
But yeah still looking to experiment with a headless immutable #homelab server OS that is, first of all, easy to install, and second, easy to manage (e.g. via Cockpit). I think Universal Blue’s #uCore does a lot of that but it’s confusing to install unless I’m just an idiot (likely).

@vivante probier doch mal Bluefin. Gefällt mir sehr gut. https://projectbluefin.io/

Welcome to Aurorix Saigon, my opinionated take on Aurora KDE, showing a menu and a terminal window with installed cli tools. These CLI tools were installed using a predefined list in Homebrew , as was the Ungoogled Chromium flatpak. An automatically created custom image.This is very cool; further tweaking to follow.

J'avais installé la distribution Aurora sur le PC de @Plume malheureusement avec le passage à Fedora 43 ils ont décidé de ne pas garder les images contenant le pilote nvidia legacy (la version 580, dernière à supporter le GPU de son ordinateur portable.)
Il fallait donc la passer à Bazzite qui avait annoncé maintenir une variante avec ce pilote là. Vous savez comment ça s'est passé ?
J'ai lancé un backup vers son disque dur externe de backup (on utilise Pika Backup, c'est une interface graphique pour borg) histoire d'être sûre.
Et puis j'ai tapé une commande :
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-nvidia:stable, j'ai attendu, j'ai redémarré une fois la commande terminée, il a redémarré une fois tout seul pour faire ses trucs et quand @Plume a tapé son mot de passe elle a pu s'exclamer « Oh mais il y a rien qui a changé »Voilà c'est pour ça que je dis que les distribution immuables c'est un peu le turfu et que je suis méga fan des distribution Universal Blue.

Having fun setting up Bluefin LTS. It'll get the daily-driver test when it's ready.
I still have Aeon on the other drive.

I've installed #Bluefin in DX mode last night and I'm impressed, it's a good first experience and a Swiss army knife out of the box. With gaming flatpaks even Homeworld 3 was playable for the first time on this PC.
I need to get to work on customizing the image (I can't live without SwayWM and some other tools) and switch as soon as possible.

did some more refactoring in Zeliblue related to adding the `testing` tags recently. I revamped what came with the BlueBuild template into a reusable build action w/ + separate stable and testing builds
`testing` builds daily + on commits to main (same as before)
`stable` images are now strictly built and pushed daily at a set time. I've thought about making them weekly instead a la Bluefin, but for now I prefer daily

@jorge as an aside, is there a way to donate to the #Bluefin / #UniversalBlue project? I've recently cancelled the last of my #Microsoft subscriptions so I've been spreading the love for some of the #FOSS things I've been using as an alternative such as #Lutris and #LibRetro, but I couldn't see a Patreon or donate link anywhere related to

It's spring time, which means it's time for me to get bored with the operating system on my daily driver and start to re-investigate my options. The oncoming onslaught of age verification laws that look like they were written by badly trained AI is also helping preempt this thought, since Linux distributions will of course be forced to react in some manner.
I'm currently running Project Bluefin, which is an opinionated variation of the Universal Blue project. I'm a fan, and I'm not investigating change because of anything holding me back in the current front.
Ground rules:
- I've run Fedora for almost 2 decades. While I certainly can work in Ubuntu/derivatives, I'd prefer not to simply due to toolset familiarity.
- I know, Arch exists. I don't want to. Did Gentoo before Pentium was a thing and compile time flags actually mattered. Don't need to do that again unless some other compelling reason.
- If I'm going to go all the way in on managing the tool, I'll go all the way to Linux from Scratch. At least that way I've built the OS from ground up, so there's actual benefit to compiling everything from scratch - not imagined performance gains on i7's with 64GB ram.
- If you choose "Something Else," leave a comment with the suggestion and discuss/justify why you think I should move. I'm not against new things, but it won't replace my daily driver "just because, bro."
- Don't do the distro war thing. It was tiring on IRC in 2002, it's exhausting 25 years later. Sell your opinion on it's own merits, not by flaming other things.
Boosts welcome. It'll be a fun time.
