tl;dr Project Bluefin's Dakotaraptor alpha 2 is incoming this week.
#Bluefin built on #GNOME OS via BuildStream, shipped as a bootc container. A #COSMIC variant has already turned up, apparently quick to build now that the plumbing's in place.

If you could not find an excuse to use Bazaar instead of straight going with Flatpak in the command line, I'll just give one that is now good enough for me.
I wanted to install a given app, and just because it already showed up in the Gnome search list, I just clicked, and that brought me to Bazaar. When I clicked "Install" it gave me a pretty interesting warning to let me know that the application is high risk, and it was very specific about which security concerns there are.
I tried to install the same app using the Flatpak command line and I did NOT get the same warning.
Sold. Bazaar all the way now.

Using homebrew for the first time on Bluefin I immediately hit a snag trying to install 'cowsay' (homebrew-installed perl vs system perl). This led me to try out Distrobox for the first time and it works like a charm.
New ways of doing things introduce new tools and methods. I'm approaching Bluefin with "beginner's mind". 🙂

Curious about immutable Linux. Going to give Bluefin a go on my mini pc:

well, I'm still not convinced that #homebrew is a suitable package manager for #immutable #linux distros

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

Remember I did that bootc KDE container, based on the Bluefin template? That method is really handing the power to the user. I've now tried Origami (Cosmic), today a brief stint with Zirconium (Niri and Dank) and I'm now heading into Zena. That last one looks to be very special, and is also a bootc container. More later.

We're favouring Fedora Bluefin for client laptop and desktop installs. The silent background upgrades and ability to roll back to the previous image are HUGE for desktop Linux user experience.
Having the latest GNOME and Fedora goodies is brilliant for usability and letting users install up to date apps using Flatpak and Brew reduces the chance of clients having issues with the base OS.
Check it out:
https://projectbluefin.io/There's also other versions using the same concept e.g. Bazzite for gaming:

This new Bluefin Wallpaper Artwork really shines on the Xiaomi Pad 5. (Easily installable via Universal Blue Homebrew tap
Thanks to the people at pocketblue for an amazing bootc image btw (I just added a few things like brew on top)

Live on github @ thesaigoneer/aurorix-saigon. Customized install with adjusted default applications & flatpaks, brew files, font configs and a just command to clean out unnecessary flatpaks.Have a go!

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.
-
Until my previous laptop died, I had been running #Aeon Desktop for quite a few months, and had #Bluefin LTS on the second drive (after the previous SATA SSD died while running OpenBSD).
So with this new/old laptop (both are 2017 HP models -- the dead one all Intel, the current one Intel/Nvidia), I did a few days of testing and decided to run Bluefin for AMD/Intel (not LTS).
I'm not a hard-core developer. I would say I'm more of a dabbler. I'm way more of a writer and editor.

@jorge I just threw #Aeon Desktop (based on #OpenSUSE Tumbleweed packages) on this laptop.
You can't beat it for things like simplicity and boot speed, though Bluefin is still in the ballpark.
Contrasting #Aeon and #Bluefin
Simple vs. batteries included (a whole lot more batteries, many optional)
OpenSUSE world vs. Fedora/CentOS world
10+ images (via BTRFS) to fall back on vs. 2 images (unless you pin some)
Aeon auto-updates Distroboxes (by choice), Bluefin does not (also by choice)

I have been thinking about leaving the image-based (atomic/immutable) world and going with Ubuntu or Mint to easily get a signed kernel with the proprietary Nvidia driver.
But since #Bluefin and Bluefin LTS for AMD/Intel run so well, presumably b/c this 9-year-old laptop has a good-enough Intel GPU, I might be able to stick with the kinds of systems I've been running for the past few years, which include #Aeon Desktop and #Fedora #Silverblue and #Kinoite.

I am doing tests on my old (2017) HP Intel/Nvidia laptop to see where I'm going to end up, #Linux-wise.
So far I've learned that my GPU (GeForce 940MX) is definitely not compatible with the current Nvidia driver (version 590).
For that reason, `modprobe nvidia` doesn't work in #Bluefin for Nvidia, and that process permanently takes up half a CPU core.
Bluefin for AMD/Intel runs just as well as Bluefin LTS. Definitely a contender.
I'm going to try #Aeon. Maybe it will run as well or better.
-
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.
-
After the very timely death of my 2017 HP Envy (all Intel) laptop, I just managed to move the SATA SSD and the 16 GB RAM over to my daughter's retired 2017 HP Pavilion (Intel + Nvidia).
The Bluefin install I was using on the dead laptop booted right up and is working as if nothing happened.
FYI, this is my first time using Nvidia.
The old laptop had a spinning Win 10 drive and 12 GB of RAM (one 8GB stick, one 4GB -- who does that?? HP, I guess.)
-
We've just finished moving Bluefin and Aurora to a shared OCI container instead of using RPM packages for all of it, now you can do crazy stuff like Ubuntu-based Bluefin with the Bootcrew images if you want to :P Who would've though that not relying on packages would be a good idea, huh!

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

I'm trying this now on Bluefin LTS:

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 -
Tech Care makeover on a budget #1
As we establish our co-op, we bring with us our philosophy of technology. Our approach is based upon principles of privacy and sustainability. The best way to show off our style in the early days of our co-op is to generate a hypothetical scenario (based on upon experiences with clients). In the future, we'll hopefully have permission to illustrate actual client makeovers so we can take some nice photos of their setups. Early days! Hypothetical client Jamie, 57 is a unionised postie for […] -

I still hold my preference for #ZorinOS for PC newcomers, #Bazzite for gamers, and #LinuxMint for Windows refugees.
For people needing for something rock solid and stable like a rock, #VanillaOS.
For those who want Linux on hardware released last month, #Fedora (personally, I prefer #Bluefin or #Aurora).

Now this is strange.
I just installed #fedora #bluefin on a laptop, and one of the #chromecastaudio device appears as an output, without me doing any configuration. The other chromecast speakers are not shown.
I would very much not have this speaker, but I don’t know how to disable it.
I thought this might have been connected to via bluetooth, but even with bluetooth disabled, the speaker is still shown.

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.

No?
