There was one on Reddit - I came to see if someone linked one

For the Steam Folders, you can use Flatseal to declare other folders any Flatpak you install is allowed to access

Google is certainly planning on it being viable.

They’ve been merging RISC-V support in Android and have documented the minimum extensions over the base ISA that must be implemented for Android certification

Yeah, that’s bizarre. I’d never have guessed /home was created by tmpfiles

There are reasonably frequent rebuilds of basically all packages as new versions of the compiler, gcc, come in

Thanks! That sounds like exactly what I’d want to run mpd. I’ll check it out

For virtualization, I’m all good since I went with uBlue instead of Silverblue for now - the developer images come with lxc/lxd/qemu/libvirt :)

Hey! Thanks!

I’ve installed Aurora to my new drive based off the comments here so far, and it’s been pretty smooth bringing my configs over :)

Immutable is new to me, so I’m wondering how you manage host daemons and cli applications, such as mpd for music and password-store for password management

Is the best practice to keep one Fedora distrobox with them?

Also, are there any issues with upgrading a distrobox to a new major release over time?

So far my mindset has been make sure I don’t layer anything, but maybe some things like mpd do make sense to layer?

I also see brew as another option. Perhaps that’s the preferred way for those types of tools? However, it seems like the system upgrade script updates distrobox and not brew?

Sorry for the rambling question - just trying to understand best practices with an immutable distro 😅

When I check out the ISO for microOS, it lists microOS Kalpa as “alpha”

Is it ready to be used as a primary install?

The developer image, dx, includes rocm-hip and rocm-opencl:

https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/blob/main/packages.json

The packages under “dx” are the main reason I’m considering it over stock Fedora

How does bluefin fit in the dependency chain here - is this just the repository that builds official uBlue images?

Part of my confusion is trying to understand how these projects are related to each other

Edit - oh, I guess bluefin is the Gnome variant

 

I’m considering trying out an immutable distro after using Tumbleweed for the last 6 years.

The two major options for me seem to be Fedora Kinoite or uBlue Aurora-dx

My understanding is that universal-blue is a downstream of Fedora Atomic

So, the points in favor of Kinoite is sticking closer to upstream, however it seems like I would need to layer quite a few packages. My understanding is that this is discouraged in an rpm-ostree setup, particularly due to update time and possible mismatches with RPMFusion

uBlue Aurora-dx seems to include a lot of the additional support I’d need - ROCm, distrobox, virt-manager, libratbag, media codecs, etc. however I’m unclear how mature the project is and whether it will be updated in a timely manner long term

I’m curious what the community thinks between the two as a viable option

Wow! I didn’t expect sched_ext to be accepted based off historical precedent of not allowing multiple schedulers

I thought the focus would be on optimizing EEVDF now

They’re saying that it only works if your browser is installed natively and your password manager is sandboxed, which is the exact opposite of what you’d want

The browser is the vulnerable software that needs sandboxing

Both being sandboxed would be fine, too
