yes it’s cross distro, it’s controversial becaune some people don’t want to install apps with their own libraries or dependecies, and some apps are not oficial so they break with the flatpak sandbox
So I took the plunge and installed Fedora Silverblue because of all that immutable buzz. And it’s the most frustrating change I have made in almost 20 years of my distrohopping....
yeah, home directory is mutable, but you can simply create another user, the /etc is also mutable(the system do a diff of it every update) but you can see every file that changed there(compared with the remote image) using ostree, or create another deploy where you discart your /etc, so, if you discart your /etc, and create another user, you have fresh install, without needing to reinstall using a pendrive etc
bro, trust me i tried to break it, i booted without kernel parameters, my system didn’t even had a root partition, shit was craze, and it didn’t have a /home, rolled back just fine
-rebase from different fedora versions, i couldn’t even login because of kernel versions(yeah even trying to login as root didn’t work)
but, i read a history that happened a bug in ostree, in the early days, and the devs needed to ask the users to fix it manually, but was when in the start of silverblue
up-to-date, full support silverblue, don’t need to unlock the filesystem, full support for selinux too, they create the /etc/nix forlder and mount it on /nix
you couldn’t do it without uninstalling the codecs for Firefox
what happened is rpm-fusion was lagging behind the official fedora repos, so, you could have just waited, or enabled the automatic update and forget about it
oh, the 15 years to do anything is true, i know when my system is updating in the background just from the sound of my laptop fan lol, but they do a 3-way merge using the remote image, your overlays and your /etc, so it’s a intensive process i guess
you want your application to work everywhere, that’s why flatpak is needed, no one complains about nix, when they have the same principle, flatpak is just more distro-agnostic and with a more powerful sandbox
pretty sure the garbage only gonna grow, it was already garbage before AI, maybe indie games, or afher the game industry implode, at least the biggest companies
that’s why they started getting their shit together on linux?, it don’t look like it
edit: the article only talk about windows, and it’s a mediatech endeavor, they want to integrate nvidia gpu in their chip, with AI because that’s gonna help gaming sure
err, why? actually it can be skewed against wayland(wayland users tend to be more security aware), and why the suprise, KDE, GNOME are wayland from the get go, steam deck too, hyprland and sway etc
yep, plasma was still x11 from default when steam deck launched, plasma 6 switched to wayland as default, now i don’t know if steam deck was updated to plasma 6

coming from a true democratic country is kinda sad read this, just accepting the lesser evil of the two options, both paid by billions dollar companies, and still calling itself democratic
