There's a really exciting #Atomic#Linux#KDEPlasma project i like, & thought to follow here in the fediverse. I was going to add it, #Aurora, getaurora.dev/, to my large list of #followedhashtags but unfortunately atm my timing is a little poor. Bloody physics, astronomy, sun 😜
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?
Anyone from #fedora#atomic images are they all long term supported if not which one is considered LTS? I don't know much about Fedora or its ecosystem. Been mostly debian/ubuntu/arch linux over the decades.
This week, Jonathan Bennett and Dan Lynch talk with Shawn W Dunn about openSUSE Kalpa, the atomic version of openSUSE Tumbleweed, with a KDE twist. What exactly do we mean by an Atomic desktop? Is …
Besides #ublue, are there any other up and coming immutable #Fedora laptop/gaming/projects? For example, I've seen some interest in a #Kinoite derived plasma mobile centric environment recently.
Today in Labor History February 3, 1961: The U.S. Air Forces began Operation Looking Glass, code name for its airborne nuclear weapons command and control center. Ever since, there has been a "Doomsday Plane" always in the air, able to take direct control of U.S. nuclear bombers and missiles if the land-based strategic command (USSTRATCOM Global Operations Center (GOC) is incapacitated. Perhaps it will come in handy, should its current game of chicken between the US/NATO and Russia go sideways.
Today in Labor History January 31, 1950: President Truman ordered the development of thermonuclear weapons (Hydrogen bombs). The U.S. tested the first thermonuclear weapon in 1952. It was developed by Edward Teller. H-bombs consist of a nuclear fission primary stage, much like older atomic bombs. The fuel for this stage is usually 235U or 239Pu. This is followed by a nuclear fusion reaction using the heavy hydrogen isotope deuterium and tritium. Modern thermonuclear weapons use lithium deuteride. The nuclear fission stage creates a temperature of over 100 million Kelvin (180 million degrees Fahrenheit), flooding the radiation channel with X-rays. The X-ray energy implodes a plutonium spark plug, compressing the secondary stage and driving the plutonium into a supercritical state that drives a fission chain reaction. The fission products heat the thermonuclear fuel to 300 million Kelvin, igniting the fusion reactions.
If you're a longtime #Windows user who might want to give #Linux a try but you don't know where to begin and are worried it will all be too overwhelming for you, then I suggest #Fedora#Onyx. You'll get a very similar desktop experience via #Budgie with a very low maintenance Linux experience under the hood. And yes, you can game with it 😎.
Hey Scott, are you familiar with vtoyboot? I use it to boot linux distro I installed on a virtual disk (vdi,vhd,etc) so I have native hardware performance when booting the disto vdi disk using ventoy. https://www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_vtoyboot.html
In order to do that, I have to run vtoyboot script on that disto, I don’t know exactly what that script do, I am not that knowledgeable on #linux (hopefully nothing nefarious).
I would like to know if fedora #atomic desktops are compatible with that vtoyboot script.
