I got energized by a blog post by Jorge Castro, the tireless promotor of Bluefin and all things OCI.
That's how I got busy the last couple of days in setting up Aurorix, my own take on Aurora (the KDE sister of Bluefin).
It's been an incredible lot of fun, and the result is something that works very well for me. Expect more details later on in this journey.
Now, don't worry, Slackware with Mango is superb and Gentoo (after losing it's KDE flavor for me) will be glorious with dwm.
Enough geeking still going on, but making your own automated, container-based, immutable KDE spin rocks and rolls.

With Aurorix up and running (OCI container with KDE) it's time to start Asterix up also. That's my 'immutable', auto-updating Nix. Although less 'confined' than Aurorix it should be basically the same for the enduser. Looking forward to the comparison.
#auroralinux #nixos

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.
#auroralinux #universalblue

On the automation front it's a bit imperfect the installer shows it's fetching an image, but when booted into Aurora for the 1st time it notifies me my current image is a month old. Ujust update fixes that, but it's an additional 3.4Gb download that imho should've been taken care of during install?

Has anyone tried to install linux-surface kernel on bluefin or aurora? I seem to have forgotten most of my linux skills and having hardest time getting touch screen and pencil to work. I can install either aurora ( I prefer KDE ) or bluefin but without any of the surface specifc things. instruction on linux-surface github seem to be behind times :(
I have surface pro 4 that is now outdated but works just fine

#linuxsurface #bluefin #auroralinux #linuxdesktop

Welp, #Debian Testing (#Trixie) broke something between #sddm and #PAM, so now I can no longer log in to the #Plasma #Wayland session.

But at least now I know how to launch Plasma (Wayland) directly from the console.

#AuroraLinux is looking good to me right about now.

I might just be ready for immutable, at least for work. :BlobCatDerpy:

@spaceraser @dan @ossobuffo

Sadly agreed. #LinuxPhones are purely a hobbyist zone right now.

Desktop Linux is 95% there, though.

I'm seriously considering switching my work machine from #Debian to #AuroraLinux, which is immutable #Fedora-based with #KDE #Plasma. I'm still quite happy with Debian, but I want to try something that I can recommend to my coworker who's currently stuck on Windows 10.

The only bummer is that the only distros I can whole-heartedly recommend to beginners are either Fedora or #Ubuntu-based. I cannot wholeheartedly endorse either Fedora as an org (too closely tied to #IBM) or Ubuntu (#Canonical, where is thy soul?).

I dearly love Debian, but a 2-year release cycle is just untenable today. Software changes far too quickly. I had some (minor) things break this year because even the compilers were too old. XD

@nicholasr
I've been a dedicated #Ubuntu user for years and years. The increasing reliance on Snaps combined with their slowness was really bothering me. Then I decides to try #Bazzite on my gaming rig and it was SO refreshing that after a pretty extended testing phase I decided to switch my dev laptop too. #AuroraLinux made sense because it was everything I liked from Bazzite but more dev ready.

@jameswynn Why did you chose #AuroraLinux over #Ubuntu?

New poll, which #OperatingSystem or #Linux distribution would you like benchmarked on https://everybytecounts.org #OS #AuroraLinux #KaliLinux #ParrotOS #LinuxLite
