I don't think this is going to do anything but I really want to urge @jorge and the whole #bluefin team to reconsider their decision of quitting Discourse for GitHub Discussions. I believe that this is a huge mistake and makes the project even more inaccessible to people who are not developers.

I've had to use Github for years as a non developer and I still can't find my way around it. There are few things I dread more than having to find something on a GitHub project's page. It's not meant for most users, for me, it's an awful experience to use EVERY TIME, to the point where, and I kid you not, find it genuinely emotionally distressing which I know is purely an autistic bunny me thing, but still. It's not good.

One of the big aspect I love about Universal Blue projects, including Bluefin, is that discourse forum! It's been such a valuable resource for me. Making this switch makes it so that, for users like me, there might as well not be a forum at all. I understand that a lot of the Bluefin people are developpers, but they also keep advertising it as a project for everyone, with the ease to use of a Chromebook... and Github is everything but easy. :/

I may rebase to #Bazzite on my Framework honestly for this alone. Because I'm serious, the forum is that big of a ressource for me and GitHub is just that much of an inaccessible nightmare to me. And the justification given on the thread about AI tools are... I don't know, I really don't think that this is the more user friendly approach the teams seems to think it is.

How to choose the perfect #Linux #Distro for you

This guide may be a bit different from what you know. Linux offers a ton of choice, and there are some factors you might want to think of, rather than using #DistroWatch or #DistroChooser for a half-baked recommendation.

Dont hesitate to try them out! But for a longer investment, make a good decision!

Image mode is awesome

Well as expected, eventually this instance of #linux on the desktop, has started acting weird out of the blue. running #Bazzite / #universalblue with KDE plasma, where the plasmashell (??) will just try to restart it self then just die.

Don't know if its a #kdeplasma problem or a Bazzite problem but will now I gotta nuke this entire install all over again and try CachyOS. What a PITA.

So this laptop has been off for a week and no doubt the battery drained to fully zero.

Anyhow now Bazzite attempts to boot, but just claims the risk by uuid doesn't exist? How in the heck?

Edit: fk me, the bios loosing the date/time should have been a clue, somehow the sata mode reverted from AHCI to raid ​​ it boots fine actually

After using #omarchy and #universalblue / #bluefin for a for a bit I kind of want omarchy on universal blue. Getting all the benefits of never having to update because of bootc and how universal blue does things pair with the omarchy setup would be awesome. It would also be nice if bluefin-dx had mise pre installed but that's minor thing. Mind you I'm coming at this from 10+ years of my own home grown Arch setup. Having omarchy x ublue can probably replace all of that on day one

#UniversalBlue

I see #Bazaar seems to now be borked on the #UniversalBlue #Bluefin stable so expect I'll have to roll-back and hope it gets fixed at some point.

A rare double merge just occurred. 😮

We have just released `default-flatpaks@v2` for automatically setting up your Flatpaks in a custom image, which should be way more robust and maintainable than the old version. Read the announcement post: https://blue-build.org/blog/default-flatpaks-v2/

Additionally, the new `soar` module was merged, providing automatic installation and configuration of a nice new alternative to brew for local packages. Read the docs: https://blue-build.org/reference/modules/soar/

What would it take for the Atomic Desktops to be the default option in Fedora?

I tried to answer that question in my talk at this year's Flock to Fedora conference.

Ah. I was correct in my assumption re Bazaar #UniversalBlue #Bluefin

Hello. Software centre has disappeared from my #Bluefin desktop. Assuming #Bazaar is now the default manager of Flatpak software. #UniversalBlue
