Fedora Project

Bootc as a project is one with tons of promise and lots of community support. It's what is powering the next generation of Atomic Desktops, CoreOS, and Fedora IoT, not to mention all of the work that @UniversalBlue has done to show off everything that can be done today.

If you want to follow bootc more closely, regular updates from Fedora's end are shared here. :)

Bazzite/Linux Steam people, have you seen this? It would appear something to do with Steam Input plus Flatpak means a DualShock 4 doesn’t work correctly in some games. I’ve personally seen this with Ultimate Chicken Horse on Bazzite, but someone is reporting the same thing with Museum of All Things from Flathub:

"You should just use #Ubuntu because it's the easiest one" - this is propaganda for #Shuttleworth and tells me you haven't tried any other distro - or that you use #Arch.

#LinuxMint is fantastic still, #Fedora is my go to recommendation, but with #uBlue and #Bazzite we see a new era of usability focused #distributions.

Add to that the fact that #snaps are a centralizes repository with no third party vendors, and you've got a #vendorlockin.

Ubuntu is the #anticonsumer distribution as a result.

also if #bluefin had a configuration file, that would be incredible. kinda like nix but maybe just run a command 'bluefin-profile backup'. it could spit out a file bluefin.profile.

the profile could store: flatpaks installed, remotes installed, settings in GNOME like dark mode, language settings, etc.

it would be an awesome way to 'sync' across different bluefin laptops i use.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but #System76 needs to rebase #PopOS. No shot, the current stable is 22.04... 22... 04.

#Ubuntu #Linux cannot be trusted, because snaps - and Shuttleworth - which means they have to go fully #Debian, which is respectable, but hear me out here...

#Arch + #ostree...

I can hear you booing from the back, and I can feel the glee of @BrodieOnLinux , but even though I like #Fedora I think competition is good and that #uBlue has that vector sown up. Also, #IBM.

This is why we recommend #Fedora or a #uBlue variant in 2025. Ubuntu has become this massive Ship of Thesius, where planks and nails are flying off the thing.

Also Snaps... Snaps is an attempt at creating vendor lock-in on Linux, which is an evil onto itself (even though I full heartedly support #Flathub, largely because #Flatpak can load third party repos).

#Fedora really tipped #Ubuntu from its perch, and #uBlue as well as #Bazzite are examples of that.

Don't get me wrong, #Mint and even #Arch are still the everyman distros, but point me to another #libre distribution that has pushed the envelope as much as Fedora has.

#Nouveau, #Wayland, #PipeWire, #Ostree, etc. When it comes to #Linux, Fedora is a technology leader, and its users & organizational governance is key to that success.
