Homebrew is now installed for you with the latest images of Bluefin, Aurora, and Bazzite. We don't have to strongly recommend installing it anymore because it's right there!

Homebrew is a great package manager especially for CLI apps. Give it a whirl if you haven't already.

What do you think is the best thing to happen to in the last few years?

@gamingonlinux For servers, going with https://opencontainers.org/ OCI. Podman is great.

For Desktop, going with Proton. Although recently, atomic desktops is getting up there (go go container ideas).

Referring to this video my mate Nathaniel did with @jorge as I slowly learn about how to add stuff to one of these images to get Chromebooks running Bluefin or Aurora etc. Incredibly dummy new to all of this so there's a lot that needs to be learned it seems.

The Fedora Project is taking rpm-ostree and atomic systems to the next level with our bootc community initiative!

The goal is to evolve Fedora Atomic Desktops, Fedora CoreOS, and Fedora IoT to incorporate bootable containers. You will get the benefit of an atomic OS on your computer while unlocking a world of customization through the cloud native development model.

Yesterday at Red Hat Summit @jorge and @cgwalters presented to a full house to walk through the state of atomic / image-based Linux and where we can go from here.

Fedora and Red Hat are looking at what we're doing with bootable containers and are interested in carrying that forward!

Time to formally welcome @bluebuild to the Fediverse!

This is the project that makes it easier for you to make your own custom images of Fedora Atomic Desktops.

If you've wondered how to use an atomic system while still being able to customize and tinker, this is another good place to learn more!

We got a shoutout in the Fedora Atomic update article! We work closely with the Fedora Atomic Desktops SIG and we're super grateful for their work. There's no Universal Blue without them. ❤️

Rebased to Aurora with and , everything is great and snappy. But could the / experts tell me how to disable transparency in the terminal? I use a custom color scheme for Ptyxis, but the bundled themes are transparent too. Can't find mention of transparency anywhere.

Looks very much like I'll be sticking to KDE from now on!

oranki OP ,
@oranki@mementomori.social avatar

@alxlg

If you or anyone else is interested in this, I found out there's a ujust command to change it.

ujust ptyxis-transparency 1.0

I really wish that people would document these things... Found this out from a GitHub commit:

https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/commit/0767471c3d57926610df81a8835a1bc20959d8e5

I don't consider discourse or any forum links as documentation, and I think there are quite a few people who would agree with me.

I just rebased to bluefin-dx:40 following the discussion here: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/bluefin-f40-beta-builds-now-available/967/3

I pinned my current config with this :
sudo ostree admin pin 0

and ran the rebase command:
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-dx:40

After downloading 2GB+ of data, it committed the change and it asked for a reboot it. The laptop rebooted and I was greeted with the login page.

Bluefin is out of beta as well and ready for you to use! We merged Silverblue with all of the extra goodness you need for a no-fuss desktop experience.

  • All the codecs and drivers you need already baked in
  • Ubuntu-like philosophy behind UX design and feel
  • Grand Touring Support for the scenic route to the latest software
  • Atomic upgrades and rollbacks

It's the hotrodded Fedora install you always wanted. 😎

If KDE Plasma is more to you're liking, Aurora has got you covered! While still in beta as our youngest custom image, Aurora aims to package everything cool about Bluefin on top of Kinoite. You're getting the drivers, codecs, container and developer tools, and other apps to make your desktop hassle free.

Check out Aurora's brand new website and give it a whirl: https://getaurora.dev/

Hey @ublue, this is my first fedora release since I've rebased to bluefin. When and how will I get to upgrade to a fedora 40 base?

jorge , to Linux
@jorge@hachyderm.io avatar

https://projectbluefin.io and https://bazzite.gg will come with ollama ready to go out of the box with a ujust ollama command.

This will pull down the right image depending on if you're on Nvidia or AMD and then configure it with a @Podman_io quadlet for management.

CHOO CHOO, it's hype time! uBlue, Bluefin, and Bazzite will be out of beta soon.
