I use Aurora for my wife’s laptop. It, Bluefin, and Bazzite come from Silverblue.

If you want GNOME: Bluefin or Bazzite.

KDE: Aurora or Bazzite.

Like Silverblue, updates happen in the background automatically. You just have to restart the computer to pick up OS updates.

I can confirm the dev is great. I had two feature requests and they did a great job communicating and then implementing those requests.

Given that DF is free and has been around for nearly 20 years, I doubt that.

Lemmy also pushed me into trying Linux about 2 years ago and I also ended up on Aurora. Aurora has a pretty small user base, but it’s nice.

I’m thinking about finding an alternative to ntfy. The maintainers are increasingly vibe coding it.

There’s also an image for Copyparty if you’re already hosting stuff as containers. It’s super handy.

I would use Debian for servers, except that the version of Podman (at least on Debian 12) was old enough that it couldn’t do quadlets. So I went with Fedora.

I was a Windows fanboy for close to 30 years, until I switched to a Linux fanboy and never looked back.

Kevin sounds like the best. Thanks for sharing.

Socialize the costs. Privatize the profits.

That’s not how these OSs work. You’re thinking in terms of traditional distros.

Think of it like this. With an image-based OS like Bazzite, whenever you do an update or you switch between different flavors, it’s like completely wiping the system directories and reinstalling them fresh, while leaving the user directories alone.

So you’re not removing GNOME or KDE. It’s like they were never installed in the first place.

To spread the love, basically.

Aurora sitting down there at the bottom of the desktop OSs. I’d love to some of the Bazzite users migrate to Bluefin or Aurora.

If you’re not aware, switching between different Universal Blue OSs is super easy, with one caveat. Switching from a GNOME OS to a KDE OS or vice versa is problematic.

This isn’t at all what I implied. I really don’t understand the hostility here.

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that Google is trying to suggest videos to you it thinks you’ll watch. Their whole goal is to keep you watching as long as possible.

As someone who also doesn’t get recommended right or far right content, it’s not victim blaming to say that the algorithm thinks they want to watch those kinds of things.

The algorithm is shit. But there’s something about their activity, when filtered through the algorithm, results in those suggestions. This is just a statement of fact.

I had some issues with Bazaar, but it’s easy to switch back to Discover or back to Bazaar.

Instead of Kinoite, I’d suggest either Bluefin or Aurora. They’re made by the same group as Bazzite.

Bazzite was my first attempt at really daily driving Linux. I ended up on Aurora dev and I don’t have any reasons to move to something different.

The U-Blue OSs really feel like the future to me.

Incredibly cool tech, but it just works.

I didn’t realize how much I would miss my cat and how big of a hole he’d leave in my life until he was gone. You just get so used to them always being there. You don’t realize all of the little ways you interact every day.

I never wanted that cat, too. He was old and had health issues. But he was a friend’s cat who couldn’t keep him. My now wife pestered me for days to adopt him, but I resisted. Then a month later when he still hadn’t been adopted, she pressured even harder and I finally gave in.

Over the years he bonded with me more and became my cat. And now it’s been a year since he passed and I still get choked up sometimes, like right now.

What do you mean by “get a horse”?
