#ublue — Public Fediverse posts

...mkay. #Flatpak next is very important, and so is #uBlue - but they are not of the same project. I could've told you that.

But as we see generally in #OpenSource, people don't know where to direct their problems. Not only that, but issues are imagined... as if it's an AI hallucination... and it's weird.

The #Linux desktop is a weird place.

@Ivovanwilligen I’m ‘in love’ with anything #ublue. My game pc is running #Bazzite and the laptops are running #Aurora.

Universal Blue also has a gnome version called #bluefin, https://projectbluefin.io/

These are all immutable Linux distros, you can’t really break anything. And if you do, there’s a rollback feature. 😎

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". 🙂

Universal Blue/Bazzite/Silverblue/other immutable Linux friends: (why) should I be using Homebrew?

I contribute to a handful of web projects that use npm, ruby, and probably other package managers. I’ve not really had a problem lately installing things the way those projects say to for Linux, but I keep hearing about people using Homebrew on Linux. When needed, I can also spin up a toolbx container and work in there. Am I missing something?

Waar bestellen jullie je laptop stickers? Beetje nerdy stickers zoek ik.

Gisteren in bezit gekomen van een mooie Lenovo Thinkpad E14 gen 2 voor €25,-. Moet nog een nieuw toetsenbord in.

#Aurora van #ublue geïnstalleerd, lekker snel. 😎

Practically finished setting up Universix-Saigon, my Cosmic bootc image based on a solid Bluefin base. It's live on github at thesaigoneer - universix-saigon.
Many edits in applications, flatpaks and QoL, read up on it in the readme.md. Or just give it a go!

Apparently a little toy image I made with my friends @valerie_tar_gz and @bri reached 100 users at some point close to new years! I've been daily driving Zirconium for a bit now and I'm having a lot of fun, works pretty well on my dual core laptop as well. Maybe check it out if you are interested :3c

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.

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!

@hrbrmstr also applies to #bluefin #bazzite and #ublue I guess, thanks for the tip

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

I'm trying this now on Bluefin LTS:

Homebrew is just as good on Linux as it is on Mac

Today is a "production" day with Bluefin LTS.

For me, production is a whole lot of Google Chrome windows with multiple tabs -- that plus gVim.

I do more of my photo editing tasks in the browser -- a byproduct of my Windows 11 work laptop. I carried the practice over to Linux and don't use gThumb and GIMP much any more.

But you can't beat a great text editor stuffed with helpful macros. For me that's Vim, and I prefer the GUI version for editing news stories.

Having fun setting up Bluefin LTS. It'll get the daily-driver test when it's ready.

I still have Aeon on the other drive.

@daniel #Aurora can be used instead of #Bazzite. #ublue has built several versions and Aurora is their workstation version, I believe.

My HP laptop running #Bluefin has stopped waking up properly from when suspended. The screen stays blank while the system itself appears to resume. I've tried booting to live versions of Ubuntu and Fedora and can't reproduce it. I've now rebased to #Bazzite which also doesn't have the problem. Besides all the gaming stuff (which I don't really need), Bazzite seems to have everything I need. I'll keep the Bluefin image pinned for now...

#ublue #universalBlue

Rebased from bluefin-dx:gts to bluefin-dx:stable this evening and I had to check the update had actually gone through by checking package versions as it was so seamless. I’m just so impressed with this OS!

@jorge you and the team have done an amazing job, really looking forward to seeing how this develops!

@sfalken Looks like #ublue #bluefin does this too https://docs.projectbluefin.io/administration#system-updates
