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.
#OpenBSD 7.5 seems likely to be released soon. I considered switching back. But I just don't feel like I could make it a "forever OS", because there are factors which could force me to use something else. Either I get a new computer and have unsupported hardware, or somebody makes me use some software that doesn't run on it.
#Silverblue seems a safer bet for both of these possibilities.
How do you name your devices? I name my devices after #philosophers. I've had Schopenhauer, Kant, Diogones, Socrates, etc. But for this newly installed laptop using #GNOME#Silverblue, I decided for something a bit different.
My new system is called Fanton, after Frantz Fanton, who studied the psychology of #colonization - that is both the colonized and the colonizers. His statement that colonization dehumanizes both still rings true today.
Been curious about what it's like to use Bluefin? Here's a quick tour of it, walking through some of the main changes we make to Silverblue! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_yyyUMecwo
For more stability, the Bluefin custom image defaults to GTS (grand touring support), meaning that we hang back one release of Fedora. It brings stability in general, but specifically to all the GNOME extensions we use.
I moved my backup desktop machine from #Kubuntu to Fedora #Silverblue. I've been using it on my laptop for a couple of months now without significant issue, but still manage to confuse myself once in a while about which toolbox container I am in.
Part of me is tempted to use #UBlue to make a custom #Fedora#Silverblue image to add in the Pop_OS Gnome extensions, make #vim the default editor, and #Thunderbird the default mail reader and call it "Blue Bacon Linux"
Sur #debian depuis 3 ans, je suis fatigué de devoir pallier les plantages pendant les màj [...].
#question J'ai en mémoire une disti linux qui fait les màj en fond dans un "container", et qui livre d'un coup les màj d'un redémarrage à l'autre. J'aimerais bien la tester maintenant, mais je me souviens plus son nom. Un peu d'aide svp ?
For users of any operating system, not just #Linux, what might keep you from trying/running an #immutable#Fedora desktop? If you are already running one, why did you choose it?
I had a good one-year run with #Fedora#Silverblue, but for business reasons I had to revert back to regular/standard Fedora. I did learn a lot, though. For example, I'll keep using #Toolbx (#Toolbox?) as part of my development workflow. I do believe immutable distros have their place, and are very appreciated, but some of their limitations are very hard to deal with when you have a very chaotic workflow like mine, that requires a lot of context switching and new tool testing.
#Linux users, particularly #Debian & #Ubuntu: are you going to switch to #Mozilla's own #Firefox repository? Are you already using their snap or flatpak release? Or are you sticking to the binaries provided by your distro's maintainers?
Not sure how I missed this article @jorge, but it prompted me to check out Podman Desktop, which is exactly what I have been looking for (an easier entrée into making and using containers).
@dhry in general, using an atomic env like #silverblue 'properly' is a bit different from using a traditional packaged distro, it takes a minute to read up on docs or forums and get used to the differences. if it seems like too big of a leap you might just want to try Workstation for now?
