  1. 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:

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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."
    5. 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.

  9. Bazzite is joining the Open Gaming Collective, which honestly only has one irksome addition...Playtron, which is responsible for yet another crypto Web3 nonsense OS that will never see much success with polluting gaming with cryptocurrency. There has been a lot of failure with monetizing Web3 games and a lack of VC funding in that space (a trend that I hope stays the same).

    Beyond that thorn in an otherwise amazing announcement; this collective is designed to reduce the duplication of effort, strengthen other members and still spoil Linux gamers with a variety of options for distros!

    As well as improving the quality of the custom OGC Kernel they will be using to power the gaming distros that have joined Open Gaming Collective. As well as upstreaming patches made to Valve packages or other relevant projects to increase project quality!

  10. Some of it is the newish battery, but overall I'm getting pretty great uptime between charges (more than 4 hours) with Bluefin LTS on the 2017 HP Pavilion (Intel Core i7 7th Gen/Nvidia GEforce) laptop that is now running the boot drive from my now-dead laptop. The CentOS Stream 10 core of this system seems to be very solid -- and I don't have to worry about any maintenance, which happens without my intervention.

  11. I used to think that I was and would "forever" be a GNOME user, but I gotta say, huge props to the @kde team because I've been using #Bazzite #KDE for more than a month now, as well as @getaurora on my laptop and I don't think I'm ever going back. I used to find KDE messy and overwhelming to use, it seems it has gotten a lot of polish recently and it's making all of the difference.

    Props to the people at #UniversalBlue as well for the stability and ease of use of their systems!

  12. Today is a "production" day with Bluefin LTS.

    For me, production is a whole lot of Google Chrome windows with multiple tabs -- that plus gVim.

    I do more of my photo editing tasks in the browser -- a byproduct of my Windows 11 work laptop. I carried the practice over to Linux and don't use gThumb and GIMP much any more.

    But you can't beat a great text editor stuffed with helpful macros. For me that's Vim, and I prefer the GUI version for editing news stories.

  13. Project Bluefin! The beer represents homebrew. The "ice" represents Flatpaks, there's a small Flathub logo on the glass. A small Bazaar flag hanging represents Bazaar and finally a seal hat to represent bootc!

  15. What would it take for the Atomic Desktops to be the default option in Fedora?

    I tried to answer that question in my talk at this year's Flock to Fedora conference.

  16. There are five types of users who may try Linux instead of Windows, one a couple of distros for each one of them.

    1. Complete newbies: ZorinOS
    2. Students and office workers: VanillaOS
    3. Windows refugees: Mint
    4. Content creators: Mint, Fedora Workstation
    5. Programmers: Universal Blue (Fedora Atomic)

    Go ahead, change my mind.

  17. @capriciousday fellow @fedora nerd here.

    Now is a great time to give one of the Universal Blue flavors a try if you haven't already!

    I'm running getaurora.dev and it is pretty awesome.

  18. 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)

    #UniversalBlue #BlueBuild #COSMICDesktop

  19. I really like the idea and practice of #bootc Is there a way for me to make a backup of the base image (with flatpaks, settings and all) from one machine and apply it to another locally? And once that is done, when I get normal updates whether through Bluefin git repos or the Fedora ones, will that overwrite settings and flatpaks I have or will it just merge?

  21. 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.
