I figured out the problem, but don't know the situation.
On the Dell Precision T3610, I see the Dell logo, then the boot menu, and after selecting the USB (Fedora SilverBlue), I see the grub menu with the choice to install and test, and then I see it begin the boot sequence, but my display cuts out. 🙄
It's the same video card I use on my other PC (Dell Precision T3600). It is an AMD Radeon RX 6400 and I am connected the same way through HDMI.
I finally found an immutable Linux distro that works for me, except I cannot find a VPN Client that will install in an immutable distro, and so by extension, I have once again not found an immutable distro that works for me.
The Linux distribution that I am almost sold on is a distribution I was dared to try and I came in with some bias. I have previously spoken out against the company and their policies. I never imagined I would find myself liking something under their ecosystem.
The distribution in question is, IBM's Fedora Kinoite. 🤯
I am more surprised than anyone. But it really does work and it works well. 😅
The only problem is I cannot find a paid VPN Client that works 😭
If you're still looking for more Fedora immutable (hmm, atomic?) content, check out this history video by @linuxuserspace about Fedora's work on Silverblue!
Immutable desktops episode of the Fedora Podcast is today! We're talking with two important figures on this topic from inside and outside Fedora - @siosm and @jorge
So, at the beginning of the week I installed #fedora#silverblue on a test laptop and fell in love, then I installed it on my main laptop and was very happy, yesterday I installed it on my main desktop and met many issues, all of which were fixed by switching to #fedora39 silverblue and I'm in love, still not totally on board with gnomes way of doing things but the gnome apps are and have always been bang on.
Because I cannot be expected to fo something as intended I wanted to install Asahi on the macBook, but on an external drive. Next, I didn't want to install fedora but Silverblue. Unfortunately the Silverblue AARCH64 Images are stuck on 37 (39 will soon be out) and won't boot (probably too old of a kernel).
Are you on one of our Fedora immutable spins but want to try out the Fedora 39 Beta? You can rebase to the beta and rollback easily - here's a guide on how to do it!
Works for all immutable spins: Silverblue, Kinoite, Sericea, and Onyx. 👍
A 2009 #Macbook got a second life. It had #MacOS Sierra (EOL 4 years ago) installed and was terribly slow with it. The original hard drive replaced with SSD, memory upgraded from 4 to 8 GB, #Fedora#Linux (#Silverblue) installed and it's a decent laptop again.
Hello everyone, so at my new job I'll get a MacBook snd until #AsahiLinux supports the security processor I will be a good girl and use #macOS. For someone coming from a setup mixing #ArchLinux, #Fedora#Silverblue / #CoreOS, even some #NixOS and does weird stuff with #podman sometimes: Are there some general recommendations from other #Linux exiles (I use vanilla #GNOME nowadays mostly, so maybe not too much lol?)
I currently plan to use the mac as mostly a shiny looking physical terminal + some vscode/vi, that should be mostly trivial. As such I'm mostly worried about things like a proper keyboard layout (I use us altgr-intl, caps mapped to ctrl, tab to esc).
Otherwise I'm thinking of grabbing #Firefox and activating Lockdown Mode. I've seen nix-home and will try setting that up for day-to-day tasks/tools.
Coming from Evolution, is Apple Mail decent? Any other "classic" GNOME tool I'd miss? Currently looking for trustworthy replacements for Nick's YT downloader, Warp (Wormhole GUI), Frog (OCR tool), Obfuscate (picture obfuscator/censoring tool), Characters (searching through Unicode symbols/emoji). Anything else I may take for granted but is different? ¹
¹ I already know the cli differences w.r.t. bsd based tools, but my personal scripts are mostly posix/ksh8x compliant anyway :D
A while ago I switched from #Fedora#Silverblue to #NixOS. Mostly because I wanted to use and learn nix - and at the time installing #nixpkgs on Silverblue was a bit awkward. It’s been fun, but I’d quite like to move back to Silverblue. Is it easy yet to install Nixpkgs on it?
I have to say, my favorite thing about uBlue by far has been startingpoint
a lot of the recent hype has, understandably, been around bazzite, and most people are gonna be just fine using that, or bluefin, or even just their silverblue/other-preferred-desktop image
but startingpoint is awesome for us tinkerers that want to shape their own experience, but, for one reason or another, want an easy-to-use foundation to build upon
I threw uBlue's Bazzite GNOME (Deck version) onto the secondary PC in lieu of having a Steam Deck, and
Bazzite is great and would recommend it to those who want a Steam Deck-like experience on an HTPC (or just want it on their Deck)
thinking I want to try doing a zeliblue-deck image. I do like the gamescope-session stuff, but Bazzite includes a lot of extras in the GNOME session that I don't want. not bad extras or anything, I just like having a minimal base
I've set up a "davincibox" repository to build a container with the needed packages for installing and running Resolve on an image-based distro (i.e. Silverblue, Kinoite, etc) from distrobox (or toolbox).
