I really like the idea and practice of #bootc Is there a way for me to make a backup of the base image (with flatpaks, settings and all) from one machine and apply it to another locally? And once that is done, when I get normal updates whether through Bluefin git repos or the Fedora ones, will that overwrite settings and flatpaks I have or will it just merge?

I’d been using Fedora Silverblue for forever, but have been dabbling with Bazzite recently. I don’t really game on my PC, but there were some niceties from Universal Blue or Bazzite that I wanted.
Buuut I’m getting kind of annoyed with some of the UX changes that Bazzite makes from stock GNOME. The shell extensions I can disable, but I keep finding things: fonts and window switching (alt+tab) behavior are the most recent.

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

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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."
- 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.

Welcome to Luminance, and say hello to Lumina

Using #bootc install-to-existing-root you can now "rebase" from any classic distro to an image based OS like the ones from #UniversalBlue or #BootCrew !
----
I used EndeavourOS as a base to easily switch to arch-boot, Bluefin's Egg and many others with no issues!
All you need is bootc, podman and systemd-boot! -

@LightKind @vuuc Even if you’re not a gamer. You can also try https://getaurora.dev. Also made by #universalblue. Works the same as Bazzite but is more a workstation OS.

Finished writing up my notes from the deployment of our latest home server and our switch to uCore: https://github.com/scottsweb/hamlet
Highlights include local SSL, an in home Steam server with Wolf and services that scale to zero when not in use (thanks to Sablier).

Bazzite is joining the Open Gaming Collective, which honestly only has one irksome addition...Playtron, which is responsible for yet another crypto Web3 nonsense OS that will never see much success with polluting gaming with cryptocurrency. There has been a lot of failure with monetizing Web3 games and a lack of VC funding in that space (a trend that I hope stays the same).
Beyond that thorn in an otherwise amazing announcement; this collective is designed to reduce the duplication of effort, strengthen other members and still spoil Linux gamers with a variety of options for distros!
As well as improving the quality of the custom OGC Kernel they will be using to power the gaming distros that have joined Open Gaming Collective. As well as upstreaming patches made to Valve packages or other relevant projects to increase project quality!

The Linux desktop is evolving.
Fedora Atomic, Universal Blue, and the shift from "snowflakes" to verifiable, reproducible images. I wrote about why OSTree, bootc, and images like Aurora & Bazzite are the future of reliable desktop computing.
Goodbye dnf update, hello atomic rollbacks.

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.
-
@steltenpower @matv1 Yup, maar verandering bij ICT is vaak ervaren.
Voorbeeld: Bij 3 collega’s op hun oude laptops (2019) Aurora van #universalblue geïnstalleerd. Firefox en Edge. Edge om gemakkelijker vanuit thuis ‘op school’ te werken. Voor al het anderen Firefox. (Eentje wilde Chrome,… 🤢) LibreOffice, VLC, etc.
Heb ik gedaan omdat ik het leuk vind. En zonde als die dingen niet meer gebruikt zouden worden.
Reactie: Huh,.. dit werkt net als Windows?
Me: Yep, en beter voor je privacy. 🥳 -
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 -
BananaFin, my mix of project Banana (immutable KDE/Aurora) and BlueFin, is reaching finalization.Tomorrow some more testing (have brew and flatpak install my own applications upon first boot), but it is all running very smoothly. Aside from this being my hobby as well, you'd just install this and get on with it. And yes, it's a bootc container, from the cloud, secure boot enabled and it runs flatpaks and systemd. And very well, thank you!
#universalblue -
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.)
-
J'avais installé la distribution Aurora sur le PC de @Plume malheureusement avec le passage à Fedora 43 ils ont décidé de ne pas garder les images contenant le pilote nvidia legacy (la version 580, dernière à supporter le GPU de son ordinateur portable.)
Il fallait donc la passer à Bazzite qui avait annoncé maintenir une variante avec ce pilote là. Vous savez comment ça s'est passé ?
J'ai lancé un backup vers son disque dur externe de backup (on utilise Pika Backup, c'est une interface graphique pour borg) histoire d'être sûre.
Et puis j'ai tapé une commande :
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-nvidia:stable, j'ai attendu, j'ai redémarré une fois la commande terminée, il a redémarré une fois tout seul pour faire ses trucs et quand @Plume a tapé son mot de passe elle a pu s'exclamer « Oh mais il y a rien qui a changé »Voilà c'est pour ça que je dis que les distribution immuables c'est un peu le turfu et que je suis méga fan des distribution Universal Blue.

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
https://www.xda-developers.com/homebrew-good-linux-mac/ -
I used to think that I was and would "forever" be a GNOME user, but I gotta say, huge props to the @kde team because I've been using #Bazzite #KDE for more than a month now, as well as @getaurora on my laptop and I don't think I'm ever going back. I used to find KDE messy and overwhelming to use, it seems it has gotten a lot of polish recently and it's making all of the difference.
Props to the people at #UniversalBlue as well for the stability and ease of use of their systems!
-
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.
