A US civil war today would likely be between US military factions, not civilians.

You needed to also recite the incantation.

Oh I didn't know that, will have to take a look!

I currently manage >90% of my desktop Fedora install with Ansible, so this feels like a spiritual equivalent to that. If I could get the Bluefin folks to organise they layers the right way I could avoid needing to track what needs to be undone, and the extra storage and transfer needed for content I'll hide under my layer. Definitely something to think about.

 

I've been running stock Fedora for about 5 years, but I'm really interested in immutable distros after putting Bazzite on my TV Gaming PC. Batteries-included works well for me in a use case like that.

I have about a decade of experience with containerisation, so leveraging that experience for my desktop is really appealing.

I took a look at Bluefin for my laptop, but it seems to be more opinionated than I'd like. I'm good with having an optimised kernel and tooling that makes sense for an immutable distro, but wasn't a huge fan of preconfigured Gnome extensions and the software I don't want.

I haven't tried Silverblue yet, but I plan to do that next. Vanilla OS is on my list too, but more out of curiosity in how it does things.

My questions are: should I be looking at any other distros? Do I need to shift my expectations of an immutable distro even more?

It's just triggering Super+C under the hood, you could definitely assign it to a global shortcut with Gnome's keyboard shortcuts. You could probably also get it to work like whatever key should be there (ctrl?) with a little more effort.

Doesn't [email protected] have like 40k subscribers? Top ten Lemmy community by sub count, iirc.

It has that performance at 65% resolution scaling.

I think people don't realise how old Reddit is, it was smaller than Lemmy is now when I first started using it.

The more complete solution is ranked-choice voting.
