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.

Today, I made switch to fedora silverblue and then rebased to ublue image because it has flatpak included in the image. I am also thinking about making my own image based on silverblue. there is a video made by bigpod a youtuber about how to make your own custom ublue image and I learned a lot from that video. I am using toolbox to install various software and I am linking it however I am thinking if toolbox consumes more RAM and CPU. I guess I will find out ones I install silverblue on my laptop with old HDD.

I downloaded my favourite browser from flathub. the flathub repo isn't enabled by default in kinoite image of ublue. I have also find a way to export toolbox container to move it to different machine.

So yeah, I am liking it so far :D

From Silverblue's Getting Started Guide:

Flatpak is the primary way that apps can be installed on Fedora Silverblue (for more information, see flatpak.org). Flatpak works out of the box in Fedora Silverblue...

Just seems very odd to distrohop for one main reason (flatpak in this scenario), without even checking if that reason is available in your current distro....which it is, out of the box.

What do you mean ublue has flatpak included in the image?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I mean flatpak binary. Other people have mentioned that it's already included in fedora silverblue. I didn't know that.

I mean, it's the main way of installing software in immutable Fedora distributions, so it would be very surprising if it wasn't preinstalled.
