I’m not comfortable that Fedora and derivatives give the same stability opportunity as Atomic distros

Atomic distros + distrobox/toolbx. Bluefin is a good start for general desktop or Bazzite for gaming (But Bluefin can be more stable, I use it for some games with steam in flatpak). If something breaks roll back to any release in the last 90 days with a single command. Install all of your packages in a distrobox (Arch if you need it). Otherwise in general Fedora is pretty good.
Also GitHub has full-text search and doesn’t filter profanities if you’re looking for material
Developers who are not willing to learn something new and not adapt are the worst
I think you mean people in general. Life is short, try some stuff, take risks
Only a spambot would ask someone ousting someone as a spambot for accusing someone of being a spambot who had claimed that they were accused of being a spambot!
Though only a spambot would respond to someone claiming to have been accused of being a spambot, accusing them of being a spambot
Yeah wtf going on there, what’s Germany, Brazil and USA got the rest of us don’t?
The Linux desktop is a very broad concept. The experience gaming on Arch could be a lot harder than gaming on Bazzite, they didn’t specify which distro they were using so you’ve got no idea as to how far in over their head they are
I give a shit
This doesn’t sound like gatekeeping at all
How many games have an official Excel plugin? Once they finish setting up their spreadsheets the EvE Online players will be here in force

I was asking about getting the clangd extension to work when developing an application against the freedesktop sdk as a flatpak. I’ve worked it out now, thanks for your interest
I’ve worked it out, thanks for the responses, maybe I didn’t word the question properly or something, but here’s what I did for anyone interested in the future:
You only need to do this once for every machine you want to work on.
Add the llvm freedesktop sdk extensions to get a clangd executable to your flatpak manifest:
"sdk-extensions": [
"org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.llvm18"
],
Install these extensions:
Run the Flatpak: Build
command in the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P
) this might take a minute. Make sure you have the required sdks installed (see the manifest for details).
There should now be two folders: .flatpak
and _build
. There should also be a script generated at .flatpak/meson.sh
. Run:
python gen-flatpak-scripts.py
This will generate .flatpak/gdb.sh
and .flatpak/clangd.sh
. If you want to use the clangd vscode extension extension add this to .vscode/settings.json
:
"clangd.path": "./.flatpak/clangd.sh"
Now run the clangd: Restart language server
command in the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P
) and you should be good to go!
gen-flatpak-scripts.py
:
# Simple script to generate scripts to make life easy when using flatpak with vscode
import subprocess;
def gen_script(outfile, exec):
with open(".flatpak/meson.sh", "rt") as fin:
with open(outfile, "wt") as fout:
for line in fin:
fout.write(line.replace("/usr/bin/meson", exec))
subprocess.run(["chmod", "+x", outfile])
# GDB for debugging
gen_script(".flatpak/gdb.sh", "/usr/bin/gdb")
# clangd for suggestions
gen_script(".flatpak/clangd.sh", "/usr/lib/sdk/llvm18/bin/clangd")
Not sure I follow. I’m talking about using the clangd language server to give me code completion, etc. when developing a flatpak application. I’ve already got it making the package and running it through the vscode debugger
The automatic updates are really good it would be better if they integrated with GNOME software, but it is still a distro I would recommend to people who want something that “just works”. Atomic really is the future of linux
Their instructions aren’t quite right, I did find that I had to change the icon theme back to adwaita myself using GNOME tweaks.
Yeah I use silverblue on another computer and previously on this one, but the killer feature of bluefin is that NVIDIA drivers and codecs are built right into the image (as with the other ublue images) meaning that you don’t need to layer them and risk a bad upgrade. I’m planning on bringing the other computer over as well even though it’s AMD, at least I’ll get ROCm and the codecs.
Recently switched to bluefin from workstation, I was initially a bit held back by all of the GNOME customisations, but they’re pretty straightforward to revert back to default. While I like the idea of automatic updates it would be nice if it integrated with GNOME software to make it easier to control. Otherwise if you’re looking for an immutable/atomic desktop and want it to pretty much work out of the box I would highly recommend
No they probably wanted to hear how great some random Arch derivatives that does that thing 3 people are talking about
