  1. Anyone managed to any of the #Fedora #AtomicDesktop distros booting on #LibreBoot yet? I can boot it fine if I explicitly choose the NVME drive but the "normal" boot process doesn't find Fedora's bootloader. The Fedora specific instructions on the Libreboot website don't seem to apply to #Atomic versions.

  6. The Linux desktop is evolving.

    Fedora Atomic, Universal Blue, and the shift from "snowflakes" to verifiable, reproducible images. I wrote about why OSTree, bootc, and images like Aurora & Bazzite are the future of reliable desktop computing.

  11. What would be a good immutable Linux distro, sometimes called an atomic distro?

    First, accept that no matter what phrase you use — atomic vs. immutable — someone will claim you’re using the wrong term. There’s still disagreement in the tech community about the correct terminology for this type of Linux distro.

    That said, for the average consumer (home users — most of you reading this), these types of distros are still “new.” By new, I mean they are still establishing themselves. Having said that, if your overall goal is to have a Linux distro that is rock-solid, automatically updates itself, can automatically recover itself, and you mostly just want a basic system — meaning you primarily plan to browse the web, work with documents, stream movies and music, and print or scan files — then an immutable/atomic distro will be fine for you. You should also be comfortable accepting that most apps will come from the app store (Flatpak) rather than installing them manually.

    Yes, you can technically add layers to such distributions and customize them to your heart’s desire. You can geek out just as much as you would on any other system. But understand that this requires extra effort, and it’s generally not the primary focus of these systems. The main goal is for users who want a “set it and forget it” system that just works out of the box with a GUI (graphic user interface)

    Assuming you are coming from Microsoft Windows, you should first decide between KDE Plasma and GNOME. I recommend KDE Plasma, as it will be the more visually familiar and include the most easily found, easiest-to-use graphical interface settings and options — keeping everything simple and “point-and-click.” Out of the box, it will look closest to Windows 10 or Windows 7. If you prefer a layout more like Windows 8, while still offering many easy-to-use settings (though fewer than KDE), GNOME would be a better choice. GNOME may also be a better option if you’re using a device with a touchscreen, just as Windows 8 was better suited for touchscreens.

    Next, it all comes down to what you're looking for from your system.

  17. Welp, I'm back to installing a "light" distro on an old tablet with an Atom x5-Z830 (Cherry Trail).

    The chip is relatively old for today standards, and 2GB of RAM doesn't help too much. #VanillaOS requires 4GB so there is that.

    The purpose is to demo some HTML pages with the touchscreen. This is not negotiable.

    Do you think Fedora Budgie Atomic will work on this little machine?

  23. Introducing Fedora Atomic Desktops

    Personally, I think that such atomic desktop distributions are the future of Desktop Linux.

    I found those much more stable and user friendly in terms of system upgrade time and overall user experience. I've recommended Fedora Silverblue in particular to a number of my friends and they were totally satisfied with it.

    This part, I actually didn't know, as I'm a relative latecomer as a developer to this space (After Richard bolted #GNOME on top of #MicroOS), and wasn't particularly involved in the #Fedora world at all, so I haven't the foggiest what the early development of #AtomicDesktop looked like.
