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?

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.

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).

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.

#Linux #Fedora #AtomicDesktop #UniversalBlue #OpenSource

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.

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.

@mattdm @sozutovo @fedora Even in Fedora Atomic upgrades are not automatic. Someone has to press a button. In my experience watching people using any computing device, many people do not see or care about notifications. People will fall on EOL OS image for years unless you do yearly support.

So, I'd substitute #UniversalBlue in this response.

Lack of automatic updates is the reason #Fedora #Silverblue is not my first recommendation to beginners, preferring #EndlessOS or #UBlue instead.

How to choose the perfect #Linux #Distro for you

This guide may be a bit different from what you know. Linux offers a ton of choice, and there are some factors you might want to think of, rather than using #DistroWatch or #DistroChooser for a half-baked recommendation.

Dont hesitate to try them out! But for a longer investment, make a good decision!

I don't understand the excitement for #bazaar the new #flatpak frontend created for #bazzite and #UniversalBlue.

It doesn't seem to do anything better than #kdediscover and looks extremely out of place on #plasma.

I'm kind of confused

#fedora #atomicdesktops #flathub #appstores

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.

Work shill. I will be running a 2 hour interactive workshop next week on #redhat #linux #imagemode AKA #bootc upstream and what forms the basis of a few really cool community projects including #bazzite / #universalblue

This is an #APAC/#ANZ friendly time-slot next Tuesday - register here : https://red.ht/3ZrFJrK

There are five types of users who may try Linux instead of Windows, one a couple of distros for each one of them.

1. Complete newbies: ZorinOS
2. Students and office workers: VanillaOS
3. Windows refugees: Mint
4. Content creators: Mint, Fedora Workstation
5. Programmers: Universal Blue (Fedora Atomic)

Go ahead, change my mind.

@jorge as an aside, is there a way to donate to the #Bluefin / #UniversalBlue project? I've recently cancelled the last of my #Microsoft subscriptions so I've been spreading the love for some of the #FOSS things I've been using as an alternative such as #Lutris and #LibRetro, but I couldn't see a Patreon or donate link anywhere related to

does anyone know if bazzite:testing tracks the fedora updates-testing repo? Or is it just testing new changes to the bazzite tweaks?

#bazzite #fedora #updates #testing #universalblue #ostree #bugsinmesa

So, I don't suppose anybody can #help me with #installing a #tablet #driver for #Huion #Kamvas (#Wacom usually is a good first step) on an #atomic #Linux #desktop (#Bazzite in my case)?

I installed the #OpenTabletDriver but the tablet is not recogniced and just turns itself off again …
