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.

Yes, I do! I personally prefer GNOME over other DEs anyways, so I'm absolutely fine with that.
They disable the installation of GNOME extensions by users. But, system-wide GNOME extensions are enabled by default. So, GNOME extensions that are found in Fedora's repositories can be installed right out of the box. Thankfully, all my extension needs are taken care of within the extensions found in Fedora's repositories. So, this doesn't constitute a limitation for me. Curiously, I've actually installed extensions through this method ever since I recognized how the other way wasn't remotely as secure. So this (relatively recent) change by secureblue to enforce it upon everyone (at least by default) came as a pleasant surprise.
Nope. I initially had troubles with playing games through Wine. But I've learned how to use gamescope for that instead. Currently, I'm honestly unaware of anything I'd need XWayland for. Wayland development has definitely come a long way. And while I'm sure some systems and/or workflows don't play nice with it yet, for myself (pure) Wayland is all I need.
Currently, I don't think I've got any use for it:
Do you run Steam inside gamescope as well ? Their desktop app runs on xwayland, right ?
RE: CLI apps, I use brew on Bazzite, casks aren't supported on it. Does your setup support casks ?
Nope I don't. But that's because running Steam isn't really a thing for me to begin with. I don't own my games through Steam aside from a couple that are only accessible through it. Whenever I need to play those, I access those through another system; be it another distro or (God forbid) M$. For the games I've played on secureblue, none of them were owned through Steam. Hence, running Steam inside gamescope has not been something I had to do yet. Unsure, if it even works as supposed.
I actually don't know. It probably doesn't, though. EDIT: Found the following within Bluefin's documentation: "Note that the cask functionality in homebrew is MacOS specific and non functional in Bluefin, flatpak is used instead."
