Technically possible but if its like Silverblue its more involved/complicated
So youāre saying one canāt manually partition to get the size they want? How about BTRFS? No reason for a Linux OS this day and age to use EXT4 on the OS drive.
Unfortunately not everyone thinks like you. Also with A/B system you have 2 root partitions no matter what, repartitioning wouldnāt fully claim the space.
I personally donāt like the the containerized nature. I find this way too slow among other things. Not for me.
I donāt get the point of immutablity when I can achieve a similar outcome with BTRFS snapshots.
Me either and my btrfs is extremely fast, reliable and no issues.
There is no āstealā in open source lol
Never say that
If you look the video, you will see that its more a non-crediting problem than a steal. Also this video confirm (for me atleast) that they use Distrobox in the backend.
edit: Also, the conclusion is great.
and now that the Knome guy video got invoqued things are going to become funny
Immutable distros are probably easier for casual users than dealing with BTEFS snapshots.
SteamOS is a good example
You bet they will!
With flatpak going strong, its a great combo
Iām not fond of their installer. I have 2 M.2ās. 1 with Garuda and Arch on it with free space on the end of it. The 2nd one as CachyOS using the entire drive. I go launch blendOSās installer and not one of the options listed when I get to partitions is the free space on the main M.2. Then you have the general layout of the installer, just awful in my book.
SteamOS is good because of the software-hardware integration, not because of immutablity. You can find people taking extreme measures, especially on the 64 GiB model to save space like converting the filesystem to BTRFS. SteamOS could have used preconfigured BTRFS snapshots, a read-only file system to avoid breakages and updates using file sets. SteamOS has like 3-5 different branches, all updating seperately. The ability of having more than 2 root filesystems would make testing easier by allowing switching between branches and versions of branches
While an interesting concept it is not for me. Iām more than happy with Endeavour and see no reason to change.
A lot of PKGBUILD files pull in other packing formats (typically Debian from what Iāve seen) as long as the file includes what the OS needs to know to install it. I guess trying to do something like this was inevitable but, maybe, not necessary?
Itās ⦠not my thing! Pass on both. Iāll stick to EndeavourOS and AUR and KDE!
maybe it just keeps rolling in place, like not moving anywhere⦠(that wasnāt very funny I know)
Like spinning your wheels?
