Homebrew is now installed for you with the latest images of Bluefin, Aurora, and Bazzite. We don't have to strongly recommend installing it anymore because it's right there!
Homebrew is a great package manager especially for CLI apps. Give it a whirl if you haven't already.
I am getting a new computer for an elderly and to be able to support it, I'm removing the Windows and want to install a #Linux distro. They have previously used Ubuntu Budgie for about 4 years. Which one of these distros do you suggest for lower maintenance burden in the long run?
@Mehrad What about Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite? You could even get one of the #ublue images which, if I'm not mistaken, are designed to be "hands-off".
Is there any good Blog post to learn #uBlue customization with relatively limited knowledge about #Docker? I don't like the idea of a distro that I can't customize easily so normal #Silverblue doesn't sound like my favorite choice but uBlue, #VanillaOS and similar approaches sound very tempting and I love the concept of #Atomic distros in general! Also, do you think it's easy enough to learn to imediately switch my main computer over or should I do some more testing in VMs first?
The Fedora Project is taking rpm-ostree and atomic systems to the next level with our bootc community initiative!
The goal is to evolve Fedora Atomic Desktops, Fedora CoreOS, and Fedora IoT to incorporate bootable containers. You will get the benefit of an atomic OS on your computer while unlocking a world of customization through the cloud native development model.
Yesterday at Red Hat Summit @jorge and @cgwalters presented to a full house of Red Hat employees to walk through the state of atomic / image-based Linux and where we can go from here.
Fedora and Red Hat are looking at what we're doing with bootable containers and are interested in carrying that forward!
Hey'all! We're BlueBuild, a FOSS community project focused on making the customization of image-based atomic Linux distributions a breeze. (atomic @fedora, @UniversalBlue
Universal Blue is generally available today! We're out of beta and ready to showcase everything a Linux desktop can be. Our work has been to show how many problems in client Linux are already solved from the cloud native world. We hope you'll join us on this journey!
Bluefin is out of beta as well and ready for you to use! We merged Silverblue with all of the extra goodness you need for a no-fuss desktop experience.
All the codecs and drivers you need already baked in
Ubuntu-like philosophy behind UX design and feel
Grand Touring Support for the scenic route to the latest software
Atomic upgrades and rollbacks
It's the hotrodded Fedora install you always wanted. 😎
Tooted about a #Fedora issue yesterday, in which I couldn't install it at all. I now have, ahem, "screenshots" so hopefully someone smarter than I can point me in the right direction.
I am booting from a 16GB SanDisk Cruzer Blade.
On UEFI, I get a message to say the image is invalid / unsupported.
On BIOS, the installer starts (after a successful self-test) but immediately crashes with a big, scary Python error.
Q: Which is the best gaming Linux distro in the world?
A: The one that works for you. :)
Of course we're very excited about Bazzite and the unique ways it can address problems as a custom image of Fedora Atomic. However, we share lots of packages with other distros like Nobara and ChimeraOS.
