My grandma is German so I still drop words like this in otherwise normal English conversation. It’s just how me and my cousins called these things growing up.

Lappen- referring to a face washer/cloth

Barfuss- referring to barefoot

The last time I was asked that question was in 2012. Every interview since has been all about how I go about doing the job and case scenarios.

15 years.

Dated. Broke up. Dated again a few years later. Moved in together. Bought a house and had kids.

😮

What’s a diagonal house? I image searched it but still not clear.

Ublue will happily include media codecs, nvidia drivers, ootb hardware acceleration… the things you would likely do with a Fedora image - but Fedora can’t or won’t include by default due to strict guidelines on their project or legal concerns.

Side other niceties like ublue includes distrobox, which is commonly used in other immutable distros, but Fedora don’t include it.

It’s basically overcoming Fedora’s limitations as a starting point. And It’s not downstream, it’s more alongside Fedora, you’re essentially running Fedora with ublue’s optimisations plugged in. When Fedora’s updates come through, you’ve got them.

And here’s the mission statement https://universal-blue.org/mission.html

Only those first 4 are within the ublue project. The others are just part of Fedora, different variations of Fedora immutable distro.

A ublue can be rebased to the Fedora images. So you could go from having Aurora to having Kinoite for example.

That repository of images you linked to you can get from the project pages. Like the Bazzite page will say “are you on handheld?”, “do you need game mode?” “Do you have nvidia?” And then link you to the appropriate version from that repository.

There might be deprecated versions in there, for example I know they don’t maintain the Surface kernel version anymore.

It’s gone from pressing eyes real hard to just touching the eye.

Their website has a rundown of each, links to each projects page, and notes on what makes ublue different.

But ignore all the “cloud native” talk. It’s got nothing to do with end user experience and I don’t know why they still feel the need to highlight it.

It’s all part of the same project, Universal Blue.

Aurora -desktop KDE

Bluefin - desktop Gnome

Bazzite - gaming and handheld focused with KDE

I installed Bazzite on a desktop I recently gave away to some local people. I also used Bazzite for two years as a htpc before I got a steam deck. It was good stuff, never had problems with it.

Aurora is going to come setup with things like non-free codecs, distrobox, rocm stuff. It’ll make life a bit simpler.

I can’t say, my use case is pretty limited to cutting, noise reduction, amplify or de-amplify.

But for what I do it’s exactly what I got from audacity previously.

It was taken on by another maintainer in 2022.

Tenacity is actively maintained, and they migrated to Codeberg instead of github. Just seems better all around to stick with it and keep avoiding audacity.

Everyone is already saying it, the best is the one you know.

Basically, all distros can do whatever you want. The one you are most comfortable with and find easiest to use is what you will be able to make do those things.

But if you’re a bit of a newbie and not comfortable doing much with your current distro anyway, then there are some safe bets I’d often recommend:

Opensuse tumbleweed is very up to date, has btrfs + snapper by default in case you break it badly. Updates are also less likely than arch, for example, to cause a break. Also has a lot of pre installed software that can be more difficult to make go away due to how their “patterns” work. At some point it’ll reinstall everything you remove unless you blacklist that software.

Aeon is an immutable version of tumbleweed but without all the pre installed stuff. The auto updates work spot-on (you’ll just see a message say your system is up to date) and auto rollback on next boot if an update does break things. Great if you want to rely on flatpaks and distrobox. The KDE software suite is all good on flathub too. (Aeon is gnome only though!)

But what was the point of making a hole in your slipper anyway?

I got a book about 15 years ago called Guerilla Furniture Design. All about turning things like cardboard and scrap metal into DIY furniture.

I’ve never actually done it, but looks like you can make pretty sturdy chairs out of double corrugated cardboard packaging boxes.

Season 5 of Supernatural was the logical endpoint

There’s a documentary about having free will to create your own fate and determine your own future. It’s called Terminator 2 Judgment Day.

Anyway, the whole thing goes: The future’s not set. There’s no fate but what we make for ourselves.

Doors.
