From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I recently put the nvidia variant of ublue-os on my work laptop, which has Optimus graphics. Couldn't be happier.
It's great to see these variants popping up! I really think ostree may be the future for desktop Linux, and not even very far away.
I kinda hope not, to be honest. Unless there could be an easy way to get tiling window managers working. It's easy on NixOS, another immutable distro, but it's definitely not as easy on something like Silverblue.
You can totally use one of the tiling window manager images (sericea is based around sway) -- it wouldn't be a ton of work for that to be added to bazzite, it's just another parameter in the matrix, feel free to hop into github and help out, I'm sure people will want lots of options.
You're the main developer of UBlue, right? 🤩
