Fast Fetch is what is replacing Neo Fetch, now that Neo Fetch has been discontinued. I think it was a wise choice among the Linux ecosystem.

Fedora KDE Spin - Wifi Bug.

In the taskbar, by the clock, click on a WiFi of your choice and enter you password.

For example, mine was called 01_localhost and the password was Hi_0007

Go to System Settings
Go to Wi-Fi & Networking
Select (highlight) you listed Wi-Fi

On the General Information tab, check All user may connect to this network. Changed Metered to NO. On the Wi-Fi tab, change MTU to 1408. On Wi-Fi Security tab, change to WPA3 Personal. On the IPv6 tab, disable. Now click, Apply.

1st, notice you can NOT click on the export selected connection.

2nd, if you reboot, you will NOT be connected. Notice in System Settings (KDE) to connect.

3rd, if you click the + and manually add the Wi-Fi, still no option to connect.

4th, if you connect using the icon in your taskbar, by the clock (again), you will connect and a new copy of your Wi-Fi will be listed in System Setting each time you do this (after reboot). - You never reboot with a working connection and need to enter your password each time.

I have repeated this bug on both an upgrade from v39 to v40 and later on a fresh installation of v40 Fedora KDE Spin and Ultramarine Linux (both distros).

It also decided to try, Universal Blue, Aurora, an immutable distro, also Fedora KDE Spin based, with the same results (bug). I configured the network during setup (during the installation processes).

Aurora -vs- Bazzite

Trying to figure out the difference between these two in the Universal Blue ecosystem. I do like the description of both. Although I will note that the name, Aurora, is easier to recall (someone thought about marketing -- Good. Good).

a call for testers for davincibox users: https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox/issues/72

I'm looking to make rusticl the default for AMD and Intel users; it works well on my own system with an RX 6600XT, but I need more testing than just my own results to make this the default. We also need to check whether this breaks anything for Nvidia users.

Tagging and here as atomic/image-based OSes are the main target audience

I'm as intrigued by as I was by , but ultimately I'm not sure the complexity is worth it for me.

Even has a ratio of complexity vs. benefits that fits well with my work (and play) flow.

, and all hide enough of the nitty gritty behind the scenes — updates happen without me needing to know it.

And traditional is so familiar and reliable, it's hard not to tap it for just about any use case.

The fact that exists and provides a valuable service just proves that Atomic makes it too hard for sysadmins to customize their installs. Because what they are doing is mostly just changing which packages get installed in the base image.

The UniversalBlue project is out of beta as of today, after 2 years. Since they are closing in on 14 million image pulls I think they've shown how solid it is. BlueBuild enables you to brew your own, and for the last 3 weeks I was running Fedora 40 Kinoite, enhanced by Ublue and optimized by yours truly 😎 Rock solid.
Congratulations to all contributors, who made this possible. On we go!

this is nowhere near a stable release and most people should look into Sodalite if they want a good Pantheon-on-Fedora-Atomic experience, but

Zeliblue Pantheon is coming together decently, though it's jank af right now because I had to build it off of silverblue-main instead of base-main for reasons, but it...mostly works

one big exception is AppCenter because of PackageKit i think, but Flatpak-only AppCenter is coming in elementary OS 8, so that'll be nice

realizing I've probably done more customization of my setup since switching to a Fedora Atomic system than when I used traditional mutable systems

i know i've mentioned them quite a bit lately, but, really,

, , are all fantastic and I can't imagine ever wanting to use a traditional, "mutable" Linux-based OS ever again

Getting a custom MOTD put together for Zeliblue, derived from Bluefin's

(hence the Bluefin tip above the issues link...still need to actually go through the tips list, keep what's relevant, make new ones, etc)

also I mention getting inspiration and borrowing stuff from Bluefin a lot, so as a reminder, you can find Bluefin here: https://projectbluefin.io

brew has been re-promoted to the default CLI experience in Zeliblue (I am still gonna keep the zeliblue-cli image available and maintained as an alternative, though)

fish is now configured to check for the presence of several of the packages included in brew-utilities and init atuin, starship, and/or zoxide, or set up aliases for e.g. eza and bat to take place of ls and cat

@Akzel@mastodon.online avatar

just ported Zeliblue from the old ublue-os/startingpoint stuff (AKA legacy-template now) over to the new BlueBuild stuff (https://blue-build.org)

from initial testing in a VM, it looks like a totally seamless transition on the client side, so that's great

on the dev side, each PR gets its own tag for builds that get pushed to ghcr, so I don't have to do local builds to test changes now. so that's nice too

today's project was putting together a zeliblue-cli container image

very inspired by (and borrowing pieces of) Bluefin's bluefin-cli stuff (https://universal-blue.discourse.group/docs?topic=39#introducing-bluefin-cli-7), but using fedora-toolbox as the base image rather than Wolfi (though I may change it in the future)

tl;dr: I can get my personalized CLI experience on any system that has distrobox or toolbox

such as Endless OS here

I opened the default just configuration on Universal Blue yesterday, and saw it provided the option of installing Fleek and DevBox. I guess I'm trying them out now…

Not sure how I missed this article @jorge, but it prompted me to check out Podman Desktop, which is exactly what I have been looking for (an easier entrée into making and using containers).

So resuming my OS research, I’ve realised that getting AMD ROCm to work is a “big deal” for me. And this has failed catastrophically on Debian mostly because AMD’s software is horrendous.

Google suggests that this “just works” on Fedora, which means I might go back to my teen years of being a RedHat boy.[1]


  1. When the package manager was rpm and you got your bits stuck to a disk on the back of computer magazine.

    @passthejoe nope it provides rpm Firefox with all the codecs already, I'm using the native Firefox myself. It has all the hardware acceleration goodies 😊

    The second day after Fedora 39, and my first day on Universal Blue! Already loving the built-in just commands so far!

    Also, not having to backup all data and reinstall to switch distros is so nice!

    Are there any other users here with hardware? I've been using the spin of Fedora 38 for over a year now, and while I adore KDE and have for years, I'm having some issues lately and I can't help but wonder if Nvidia's crappy drivers are not a great fit for KDE. 😔

    Have any of you lovely tried both and KDE on Nvidia? Is there any noticeable difference in performance/compatibility/bugginess? Would switching to Gnome be a better fit for my system, or would I likely see all the same issues?

    In that same vein, has anyone had any luck getting Wayland to work well on Nvidia hardware? IIRC, 39 or 40 is going to cut X11 altogether, which is tough for me cause Fedora is my favorite , but Wayland is a terrible experience for me, at least with Fedora KDE and my RTX 2070 Super.

    I'm so tempted just to ditch Nvidia altogether, but I would miss DLSS and good performance with raytracing, so it's a really hard choice. 😥

    Anything with -Nvidia you should be good to go.

    Well, that's never good.

    I was in the middle of an install being performed by Bazzite Portal. Walked away for a moment and came back to this.

    Fedora's Universal Blue has a flaw.

    It always defaults to OS Tree 0 upon reboot. That means all the updates likely on OS Tree 1 are not used, because you would need to manually select it on Grub

    This is a problem if you are using a wireless Bluetooth keyboard. Why?

    Because until your OS loads, your keyboard does not work. You would need a 2nd keyboard, either physically wired or an older USB wireless, to select OS Tree 1

    Bazzite for gamers? Same thing

    Linux_Is_Best,
    @Linux_Is_Best@mastodon.social avatar

    @jorge you guys really need work on the naming at the Grub boot menu.

    OS Tree 0 —I expect the to be the original

    OS Tree 1 —I expect this to be the next change

    OS Tree 2 —I expect this to be the next after 1.

    And so forth....

    Because you're telling me OS Tree 0 is newer?

    Universal Blue is not independent of Red Hat and IBM.

    It's even hosted by IBM using their services.

    https://www.whois.com/whois/universal-blue.org

    Never mind, the fact that it is also based on their product, Fedora.

    @Linux_Is_Best@mastodon.social avatar

    I have decided to try Vanilla OS, but the Ubuntu flavor, since their Alpha release is not a bootable ISO (yet).

    I am pleased to learn you can install software in /opt I use /opt for work and for Firefox Nightly.

    The odd thing is the shortcuts do not work. I have desktop shortcut in the desktop folder /home/user/Desktop/example.desktop But it gives me an error:

    Read Only - Command exited with code 512

    However, if I navigate to /opt and open the program directly, it works!

    Linux_Is_Best,
    @Linux_Is_Best@mastodon.social avatar

    @Aman9das @wyndon I have no plans on using any Red Hat products or services, that includes Fedora.

    Universal Blue is just the IBM's rebrand of Red Hat since acquiring them.
