#kinoite — Public Fediverse posts

I've now made it a habit to turn on basic telemetry on new #Linux installs. These people won't use that data for advertising, but _actually_ improving the product. Let them know I put #Kinoite on a #Chromebook, #NixOS on a MacBook and #ArchLinux on a Surface Hub (that last one wasn't actually me).
The Year of the Linux Desktop is NOW, we just don't know, because we've lost all trust in telemetry.

A new home for the work laptop. Introducing asterix-danang, my own bootc image, based on Fedora Kinoite. to be found here: https://github.com/danangineer/asterix-danang
KDE 6.7, distrobox, homebrew, all fluff removed.

@britter No, I do not.

Fedora Kinoite and U-Blue Aurora (and Fedora Silverblue ...) are based on container images. So when doing an upgrade or update, actually you are just jumping from one image version to another under the hood.

As they are immutable, most of the system is read-only. Which includes the root partition, so creating the `/nix` directory is not possible.

So my simple solution back in 2023 was to build my own container image that only creates that directory. During the image build this is still possible.

But now this fails, as the base image has too many layers already and docker runs into issues in the GitHub Action.

Hence I need to find another solution. Getting rid of the container image would be good, because why have a container image for just a directory...

#Fedora #Kinoite #ostree #docker

Meh, after the U-Blue Aurora image now my Fedora Kinoite 44 container image with the nix directory hits the "max depth exceeded" error and cannot be built normally. Or does anyone have a trick to solve that error?

"buildx failed with: ERROR: failed to build: failed to solve: failed to register layer: max depth exceeded"

I guess I'll have to look into the nix package now being provided by Fedora and copy their tmpfiles file to create the /nix directory. Which would mean I could get rid of building my own image just for the /nix directory and can start using the official images...

(Not sure I can swap out the existing nix installation while keeping the nix store intact)

Has anyone made the switch from #KDE Plasma to #COSMIC?

I'm tempted to rebase my #Fedora #Kinoite to #COSMIC Atomic now that COSMIC Files has scripting support: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-files/pull/1728

Things I discovered in a VM that I would be missing out on:
- inhibiting screen blanking
- wallpaper of the day

Things I'd gain:
- automatic tiling
- a simpler, less cluttered desktop

Things I'm concerned about:
- stylus support

Has anyone made the switch and is (un)satisfied with it?

#COSMICdesktop #Linux

Upgraded my office workstation to #Fedora #Kinoite 44 today.

Immutable linux is my second favorite operating system after FreeBSD. My secondary laptop is installed with Fedora Kinoite because I use this laptop only for lecturing. FreeBSD in my first laptop is the only one that handle hardcore and radical programming. #freebsd #immutable #linux #fedora #kinoite

Alongside the Fedora 44 release, I’m happy to announce that we have sealed bootable container images ready for testing for the Fedora Atomic Desktops!

Sealed bootable container images include all the components needed to create a fully verified boot chain, from the firmware to the operating system composefs image. This relies on Secure Boot on UEFI systems.

Fedora 44 has been released! 🎉

You can catch up with all the changes for the Atomic Desktops in the usual What's new article in the Fedora Magazine: https://fedoramagazine.org/whats-new-fedora-atomic-desktops-in-fedora-linux-44/

Any #fedora geniuses know (not speculation, I have lots of that already) why on #kinoite the battery charge limits get reset every few updates?

Another release of #Fedora is coming up, and once again I see almost nothing for #Silverblue or #Kinoite in the changelog. TBH, Fedora Atomic has kind of a ghost ship vibe https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/44/ChangeSet
