Linux

I had an entirely different experience with Bazzite. It would not boot to Wayland after an update, so I had to boot to xorg, reboot, and then wayland would work, until the last update where Wayland just wouldn't work anymore, so I ended up going back to Fedora Workstation.

I'm a bit behind on these immutable distros and have a small question. People keep saying you can just switch to another image if you want to switch desktop environments. But how does this solve the problem of the config files of the various DEs (GTK rc files or other theme stuff) messing with each other in the home directory? Because this was always a pain in the ass in normal distros

Wow I was so confused while reading this haha, got me good there! Happy to hear its working as expected :P

Silverblue killed distrohopping for me. Really frustrating.

Then kill it. Distrohop again.

But well, if that helps, look at the bright side: while it's true that it'll almost never give you problems, I think it's true that the time the problems will happen, they will be pretty hard to solve, so it might break very bad. That's great, isn't it?

Don't tell me that this thing just cannot breaks. If that was even possible, that'd be tremendously evil.

Welcome to the very reason I'll never ever try Silveblue 😄

Only thing I haven't figured out, yet, is how to install the Private Internet Access client. It uses a .run install script, and it fails when installing via rpm-ostree (tries to write to /etc) and doesn't like being installed in a Distrobox (needs systemd).

But yeah, I'm currently looking at some other options for my main system to drop Windows, and I'm always comparing to Fedora Atomics, now.

I'm honestly so trolled, I hate change & hate the idea that something might be better than my existing Arch install. I hate that security, reliability, and flexibility are improved. I cope by reminding myself that I'm very low on disk space right now, for the needed extra partitions

I've been considering it for a while but my main setup (knock on wood) has been rock solid with traditional fedora. If I ever end up switching distros silverblue is probably going to be it.

I rebase quite often, its the better distrohopping.

Have a look at Fedora Discuss, interesting things there.

I'm still getting things set for Silverblue to be my baremetal hypervisor distro on my laptop. And by that, I mean giving up on Incus, setting up libvirt, and... everything is working like it should. I wasn't expecting that. Now, I've got to find something else to do with my time.

And good resources on how to learn to use Toolbox properly?

You got me so good. Been using fedora for a few years now and I've been hesitant to hop to silverblue but now, after reading your issues with it I might just have to stay away. I can't imagine a world of painless updates and rebasing smoothly. If I don't have things to troubleshoot what else am I gonna do on my PC!

Agreed. Been super boring and stable on Aurora.

Is this a First Linux-World Problem? :D

To me, I like how clean and coherent GNOME looks like, but what I don't like about it, is how hostile it is in regarding of themeing/coloring.

Oh man. I'm so sorry for your loss. May your system break at some vague point in the future in a way that is nigh impossible to diagnose and that no one else seems to have experienced. Godspeed, you unwillingly content penguin!
