Looking for an immutable desktop distro
  • 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.

  • Looking for an immutable desktop distro

    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?

    New laptop and the f-ing copilot key
  • 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.

  • What is your favorite show from the 90's? All genres welcome
  • I love TNG, but for whatever reason I prefer DS9. I still remember watching the first episode and thinking that being a Star Trek show set on a space station was a bad idea. I think maybe being proven so wrong about that plays some role in it.
