Cake day: June 15th, 2024

help-circle



  • Unfortunately, I don’t own any device with Nvidia. Hence, I don’t think I’ll be able to help out. However, wayblue’s maintainers are pretty active. Therefore, consider opening an issue on its GitHub page and perhaps they’ll be able to help out.

    I apologize for not being of much help here. Wish ya good luck, though!

    Happy cake day btw!











  • I’ve found it fine after an adaption phase

    Though credit where credit is due. At this point, so well-beyond the adaption phase, I simply don’t see myself use anything else. This is my home. Though I have to admit my serious interest in QubesOS (and the upcoming Spectrum OS).

    Hard agree on knowing the nuances being problematic, clarity and accessible education is sorely missing, certainly the steepest part of the learning curve.

    Agree. I’m at least thankful that it’s a lot better than it used to be. Like two years ago, when as a total noob to Linux, I decided to cold turkey quit Windows and installed Fedora Silverblue on my machine. Well…, those first two weeks were pretty traumatic 😂. And, back then, there was not a lot out there. Luckily, I found this article that helped me to grasp the basics. And it has been smooth sailing ever since.

    I just run ‘distrobox upgrade -all’ in my Daily.service

    That’s pretty cool (and straightforward). Why didn’t I think of that 😂? But yeah, quadlets FTW.



  • I’m a big fan of Fedora Atomic. However, even I have to admit that knowing how to install packages through dnf is simply more convenient than knowing and understanding the nuances between rpm-ostree, Toolbx/Distrobox and flatpak. And I haven’t even delved into ujust and brew that are found on uBlue images.

    Furthermore, even if we would limit ourselves with what Fedora Atomic prescribes, we see the following inconveniences:

    • rpm-ostree ; I know --apply-live exists and I know systemctl soft-reboot exists. But still, if you have to resort to rpm-ostree, then both the speed of update/installation as well as the need to reboot (or live on the edge with --apply-live) are inconvenient compared to dnf.
    • flatpak ; It’s inconvenient that I have to alias the installed package if I prefer sane naming conventions when accessing it through the terminal. Furthermore, stuff like the NativeMessaging portal not being available yet for sandboxed browsers and how that prevents any local password manager to interact with them (without hacking your way through; which, once again, is an inconvenience) is inconvenient.
    • Toolbx/Distrobox ; the fact that you’d have to setup quadlets (or simply rely on uBlue images to do it for you) to keep them up to date, up and running is an inconvenience. The fact that distrobox-export has to be resorted to for accessing these directly from your ‘App Drawer’ is an inconvenience.

    The fact that there’s no centralized place for upgrading all of the above (unless you rely on an uBlue image) is an inconvenience.

    I could go on and on, but these should satisfy in revealing some of the more obnoxious inconveniences.
