#projectbluefin — Public Fediverse posts

Oh no, someone put a dinosaur in my linux! #projectbluefin

It's spring time, which means it's time for me to get bored with the operating system on my daily driver and start to re-investigate my options.  The oncoming onslaught of age verification laws that look like they were written by badly trained AI is also helping preempt this thought, since Linux distributions will of course be forced to react in some manner.

I'm currently running Project Bluefin, which is an opinionated variation of the Universal Blue project.  I'm a fan, and I'm not investigating change because of anything holding me back in the current front.

Ground rules:

1. I've run Fedora for almost 2 decades.  While I certainly can work in Ubuntu/derivatives, I'd prefer not to simply due to toolset familiarity.
2. I know, Arch exists.  I don't want to.  Did Gentoo before Pentium was a thing and compile time flags actually mattered.  Don't need to do that again unless some other compelling reason.
3. If I'm going to go all the way in on managing the tool, I'll go all the way to Linux from Scratch.  At least that way I've built the OS from ground up, so there's actual benefit to compiling everything from scratch - not imagined performance gains on i7's with 64GB ram.
4. If you choose "Something Else," leave a comment with the suggestion and discuss/justify why you think I should move.  I'm not against new things, but it won't replace my daily driver "just because, bro."
5. Don't do the distro war thing.  It was tiring on IRC in 2002, it's exhausting 25 years later.  Sell your opinion on it's own merits, not by flaming other things.

Boosts welcome.  It'll be a fun time.

You should try #bazzite.

Easy-peasy rollbacks if anything goes awry. Automatic updates in the background, for the next time you boot up.

Less fussing, more computering.

Back then i had an idea .. to make an atomic distro like #openSuSe #microOS or #FedoraSilverblue .
someone told me about #ProjectBluefin and now I am using .

Project Bluefin! The beer represents homebrew. The "ice" represents Flatpaks, there's a small Flathub logo on the glass. A small Bazaar flag hanging represents Bazaar and finally a seal hat to represent bootc!

Switched to Bluefin DX over Fedora Silverblue and while everything was a bit more painful to customize for me because it has so much more stuff preinstalled and floating around in it, I will say once that was done it's been more enjoyable to use on the whole. I like using brew for CLI packages and flatpak for apps and that's all setup for me out of the box. Bazaar for flatpaks is interesting. It still feels pretty young but is worlds faster than gnome software. It doesn't feel as newbie friendly but that's fine for me and I specifically chose the developer focused version so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

P.S. Dinosaurs are rad!

I've installed #Bluefin in DX mode last night and I'm impressed, it's a good first experience and a Swiss army knife out of the box. With gaming flatpaks even Homeworld 3 was playable for the first time on this PC.

I need to get to work on customizing the image (I can't live without SwayWM and some other tools) and switch as soon as possible.

Lenovo ThinkCentre build! I love Bluefin on it

@Sobieck

A reason I am an Atomic Fanboi....

View it as how our Phones work for OS updates or Chromebooks, A/B 1/2 type boot image partitions.

If anything goes bad on an update, I can easily rollback to my last deployed image.

Updating is also less painful.

App data is mostly separate, because embracing flatpak/etc.

But would also recommended to people less gaming foccused:
#Projectbluefin
https://projectbluefin.io/

#Aurora
https://getaurora.dev/en

TLDR custom Fedora Images with extra steps+community efforts out of box.

I started with Fedora KDE 32 back....whenever that was. Then tried Kinoite Beta 38 whenever that was. But #UniversalBlue images ended up being just right.

I went salted earth on windows when my W10 key refused to work on a new motherboard in ~2019, also because Linux fits my personal philosophy as well.

After my brother died, it also gave me some semblance of feeling in control of *something* in this mortal-coil. At least my PC.

I enjoy being a community member and not just a "user" of a corpo product. Proton+Steam Deck did sorta change the gaming landscape, I've been shilling for so long. 🤓🤘

Jorge has that magical energy:

If you really wanna dual boot.

I recommend having separate storage drives.

And use UEFI/BIOS to set Linux disk to boot priority #1.

Removes windows boot manager from the equation vs breaking on updates or fighting with grub.

Can also copy your font folder over if you really want.

Installed Aurora on Lenovo Laptop, learned during Flock Video session.

Paging any #projectbluefin #bluefin developers.

https://projectbluefin.io

Any of you happen to also be game devs? 🔎

@LinuxRenaissance
Not immutable. Atomic.
Want something "Chromebook easy"?
Want a "Dad Linux"?
Something you can install on Grandmas' crusty old laptop/all-in-one?

For gaming consider: #Bazzite
https://bazzite.gg

General Purpose: #Aurora
https://getaurora.dev

Dev: #Projectbluefin
https://projectbluefin.io

Harness the power of exporting from #Distrobox #Podman.

Enjoy #BREW out of box.

Can always layer as an .rpm if you really have to, OR build YOUR own IMG: 🤯
https://blue-build.org

@gnomelibre @arran

Did someone say with "Batteries Included"?

Harnessing the same OCI container image technology as other Atomic Fedora images.... but with extra goodness.

How about with Batteries and Dinosaurs included:
#Projectbluefin :fedora: X #UniversalBlue
https://projectbluefin.io/

Build your own with #BlueBuild

Or go further down the atomic Fedora rabbit hole with #universalblue

It's Atomic OCI containerized Fedora with extra goodness.

Even better, simply install Silverblue first and easy peasy rebase to Ublue even:
https://universal-blue.org/tinker/installation/

You can pin your Silverblue deployment even. If you loathe Ublue, you can boot to 📍 deployment.

@sjvn

Think Chromebook. Or how modern Android OS works.

It's not so scary when you learn more about it

I'm a huge fan of #universalblue project.

Been gaming on #bazzite myself since it launched:

#projectbluefin is pretty nifty looking as well:

I think this is significant.
Yesterday I was working away in VSCode, using all of the things including my Nvidia GPU, and I realized _it was running in an Arch distrobox (on Debian), and I didn't even notice!_
I'm getting ever so close to switching to #ProjectBluefin #Bluefin.

@jorge we need some hashtags or @s or something 🙂

With the recent instability of Debian stable, I’m all the more anxiously awaiting the day I can switch to Project Bluefin https://projectbluefin.io
