OCI images that you can turn into a full-fledged developer workstation shipping Devbox, Nix, Homebrew, devcontainers and DevPod with one command. Pretty swanky!
I have long loooooong ago given up on distro hopping because, at the end of the day, most distros are close enough to each other that it doesn’t really matter which one you choose at the end of the day. These new immutable ones though… They seem cool as hell. I need to give one a go someday.
Same, I found Arch over a decade ago and stopped looking.
I feel like I left arch a decade ago. 😄
It was rough going around the time of the systemd transition and needed something more consistently reliable. I’ve been on Mint ever since.
Arch has rarely ever given me problems…that I didn’t cause myself 🤣
Distro hopping always leads back to debian
99% of the time, whatever drew you to a shiny new distro could be achieved in debian with minimal effort
Debian was the reason, why I’ve started distro hopping, in the first place

“the next generation cloud-native”
that’s as far as I got. Cloud native is an immediate, non-negotiable red flag for me
Why?
The CNCF has a number of awesome projects that live up to FOSS values.
Like most others in this thread, I’m having trouble understanding what this is. Fedora Silverblue with dev-related pre-installed stuff? (rhetorical question)
Their presentation feels like NixOS. You open their webpage and the entire thing is unclear. If even the target audience doesn’t get it, they probably won’t use it out of their own volition or without hand-holding.
Dunno if there are Fedora maintainers on the fediverse or reading this thread, but IMO they should tell their BlueFin team to fix the marketing. Most people don’t get what they’re trying to sell.
The idea is very interesting. The marketing is the worst I’ve seen in a decade, easily.
I quote:
“Or she may disembowel us on the way. Clever Girl.”
Thinking the evolution metaphor gives you license to say that and sound acceptable, is total insanity. Absolutely out of place, touch,
You know this is a reference to Jurassic Park, right?
That’s exactly the point. Referencing pop culture won’t make it sound in good taste. The whole site has a metaphor density over 9000.
I have to admit the fact that I got the metaphor BEFORE I got all of the technical aspects might be a sign that it was given more attention than projects normally do. I personally love how fun and dorky it is though
I genuinely don’t understand the value proposition of, over just regular silverblue. As far as I can tell, they have a opinionated desktop setup out of the box, and a shell script that is a bunch of aliases to things you might want.
Edit: for clarity, my comment is mostly directed at ublue or universal blue, which is what bluefin is based on.
I think the really value comes from the ability to easily roll new custom images and for the community to collaborate on those images to produce images that require minimal layering after the application locally.
dev oriented distro it looks like? dunno about the net installer aspect… but I’m really new to linux too so maybe it’s a nice feature?
Fedora based 🤮🤮🤮
more like fedora cringed lmao
If anyone stumbles upon this and was confused like me, I found this link to be a super clear explanation of OCI Linux delivery- https://universal-blue.org/introduction/
Probably my next distro! Can’t wait to try it out. The only next steps I would take is getting k8s into manage my services by default.
Gnome
Visual studio
Bleh
