The_Zen_Cow_Says_Mu,

i use the universal blue silverblue-main image because it’s basically silverblue along with some packages included that I otherwise would have to manually layer in anyway (e.g., distrobox, freeworld-amd drivers from rpmfusion) and some quality-of-life improvements (some just recipes, automatic updates enabled)

I tried bluefin, but it was “too opinionated” and I didn’t agree with a lot of its opinions. Same for bazzite.

The_Zen_Cow_Says_Mu,

Use the universal blue silverblue-nvidia image to get silverblue with Nvidia built in

The_Zen_Cow_Says_Mu,

why not use fedora’s built-in openvpn client and just add the pia info? That should likely work. …privateinternetaccess.com/…/linux-installing-ope…

or built-in wireguard client? …privateinternetaccess.com/…/linux-manual-connect…

DOS -> slack ware Linux -> win 3 -> os/2 warp -> win 98 -> win XP -> osx (several years on Mac) -> win 10 -> Ubuntu 14, 16, 18, 20 -> fedora 34, 35, 36 ,37, 38 -> Debian 12 --> fedora silverblue 40.

The_Zen_Cow_Says_Mu,

moneydance for household finance tracking

The_Zen_Cow_Says_Mu,

Fair, but last time I tried them, the foss apps were awful. But that was several years ago so might be worth looking again

The_Zen_Cow_Says_Mu,

Looks interesting. Thanks!

The_Zen_Cow_Says_Mu,

whelp, EPEL package updates are on a slightly different time trajectory for release, so almalinux update goes oopsie fail. gotta wait a little longer for that 9.4 goodness.

The_Zen_Cow_Says_Mu,

Debian: boring installer, bare-metal install completed in about 10 minutes

Almalinux: nice installer, bare-metal install completed in about 10 minutes

Opensuse: nice installer, bare-metal install completed in about an hour. WHYYYYYYYY?

The_Zen_Cow_Says_Mu,

DKMS isn’t supported on Silverblue. Only Kmods. So there’s your problem.

docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/…/troubleshooting/

Even if you can get it to work, running ZFS on fedora generally is an exercise in frustration because the kernels update to newer versions than what ZFS supports anyway.

The_Zen_Cow_Says_Mu,

ublue built zfs as a kmod.

The_Zen_Cow_Says_Mu,

Ubuntu -> Fedora -> Debian stable (and lots of flatpaks) for my desktop. Ubuntu has only gotten worse with age, and I got tired of being on the leading edge and just want stuff to work (and I use ZFS so I don’t want rapidly upgrading kernels). For my home server Ubuntu -> Centos -> Almalinux
