Tried out Silverblue two weeks ago but gave up installing the fingerprint sensor that needs extra work to enable. The firmware just wouldn’t factory reset due to the target directory being read-only. Oh well. Back to Endeavour, maybe I’m meant to stay with the convenience of the Arch(-based) way, not immutable/layered systems (at least not with the hardware I have now!). The back-n-forth installing was good for practice though I’m also interested in Debian (testing), Nix, and Alma, they’re for playing around in VMs for now…
Almost a year of daily-driving Linux. Maybe I should celebrate when I hit the first year milestone!
Everforest Dark month. Good old systemd-boot instead of grub; snapper-equipped btrfs system + ext4 data partition; mostly using flatpaks now save for the few things I just can’t get right (f.ex. flatpak Celluloid doesn’t play well with SmartCopyPaste).
8 core, 16gb arm device. . . I have a serious feeling like the computers of the future aren’t far from really changing in a big way. Other than really intensive things like gaming or blender, that is so much more computer than the average person needs to just pay bills and shop amazon. That’s an awesome little device.
I have looked into it, however I find the sparse documentation of their unique tools and lack of open forum difficult to bear with (AFAIK they are on Discord only?). Silverblue and its community images (like Ublue) are quite widely used, rpm-ostree along with Fedora quirks are well-documented, and Fedora discussions can be commonly found in their forums and on the net, so that was why it was my main choice. VanillaOS was also very interesting to me, but I’ve not been able to wrap my head around ABRoot yet on top of them being based on Ubuntu 22.10…
But well, I’m happy with my system right now, manually updating once every Friday evening. If I do try to daily drive another non-immutable/layered distro, it will most likely be something Debian (SpiralLinux or Voyager) or Fedora (Ultramarine).
Not if most users keep using Windows, they are just bloating and bloating and bloating their OS so you need better devices. For Linux I find that midrange devices are capable enough
on a side node: how to “save” kde “outfits” (desktop, theme, …)? I’d love to be able to save my current setup, start with a new one, and then be able to switch between several “outfits”…
I’m also interested in Debian (testing), Nix, and Alma, they’re for playing around in VMs for now…
