#atomicdesktops — Public Fediverse posts

Fedora Linux 44 Beta is out and all the Atomic Desktops variants are ready for testing: https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-linux-44-beta/

We have two important removals for this cycle:
- Dropping FUSE2 libraries and thus support for AppImages that require them.
- Dropping old polkit pkla rules support

Latest GNOME, KDE Plasma and Budgie releases are also ready.

Fedora's elections are now open until Wednesday, 7th January!

I'm applying for a seat at FESCo [1] as I want to represent the interests of users, developers and maintainers of what we call Atomic, Bootable Container, Image Based or Immutable variants of Fedora (CoreOS, Atomic Desktops, IoT, bootc, etc.).

You can find my full interview at https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/f43-fesco-elections-siosm/

And vote at https://elections.fedoraproject.org/

How to choose the perfect #Linux #Distro for you

This guide may be a bit different from what you know. Linux offers a ton of choice, and there are some factors you might want to think of, rather than using #DistroWatch or #DistroChooser for a half-baked recommendation.

Dont hesitate to try them out! But for a longer investment, make a good decision!

Amazing! The #Fedora #COPR is one way to try it, even on #AtomicDesktops like #uBlue

Some things that come to my mind:
- adjustable size
- padding to left/right so it doesnt take up all the screen
- nice show/hide functionality with a button, swiping, dynamically
- functional keys (Ctrl, Alt, Super, Arrows, Fn keys, ...)

Bootable Containers are the future of Fedora Atomic Desktops and we presented that at @allsystemsgo.

Introduction by @cgwalters and Ben: https://media.ccc.de/v/all-systems-go-2024-266-bootc-generating-an-ecosystem-around-bootable-oci-containers

Then take a look at how we could use sysext's to improve the local layering story with @tormath1: https://media.ccc.de/v/all-systems-go-2024-313-waiter-an-os-please-with-some-sysext-sprinkled-on-top

And then finally dive into Trusted Boot with UKI and composefs with @jbtrystram: https://media.ccc.de/v/all-systems-go-2024-309-the-road-to-a-trusted-and-measured-boot-chain-in-bootable-containers
