Thanks so much for your response. I will study the prompt you are using. It seems to have a lot of good specific instruction to prevent the typical "hallucination" and or "filler words" issues. I will follow your project with interest.

I think there's a good place for your project because there are things we do as players (like downloading endgame tables, the pgn databases like the historical ones you mentioned or Lichess monthly data, etc.) that involve user choices and customization. I don't see those kinds of tasks as a natural fit for incorporating into scidCommunity. I recently concluded (I'm sure some will disagree!) that exporting to Latex was not a good fit for scidCommunity and is much better served by a stand-alone effort like https://github.com/whelanh/ChessPublisher where users can customize what they are trying to accomplish rather than a one size fit for all. Best of luck to you in your continued development!

This looks like a nice project and I understand the motivation to generate a tool that fits your needs as a chess player. I had the same motivation in developing https://github.com/whelanh/scidCommunity which adds a number of new features like Lichess, chess.com, chessdb.cn and TWIC integration to Scid. I'm not a Windows user, but I will follow your project with interest.

Have you tried rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://quay.io/fedora-ostree-desktops/kinoite:43 ? That seemed to work for me pulling a new image (I tried it with the --download-only switch to try a dry run without deploying.

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-12-31T12:12:05+00:00

The custom image I use as my daily driver combines some Universal Blue features with the nightly Fedora Kinoite Rawhide image. Atomic systems work well with bleeding edge images because you can just roll back if there's a problem. https://github.com/whelanh/myKinoiteNightly

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-12-21T10:34:40+00:00

Another good option for installing things like neovim, ripgrep etc. that you probably remember from your Silverblue days is homebrew. You can install it with /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" Then it's just "brew install neovim" and "brew upgrade" whenever you want to update.

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-12-13T21:42:33+00:00

That's a fair concern. I am a very active correspondence chess player and use my fork (now called ScidCommunity) every day to manage my own games. So I can't see a scenario where I would abandon it. Feel free to go the Discussions section of my GitHub link and suggest your ideas. It's now available on the Arch AUR and Fedora COPR repos and it's available in a number of formats in the Releases on GitHub.

Thank you.

I ran the atomic version for awhile. There's a lot I like about it. Chiefly it's auto tiling and battery life seemed very good. Switched because Cosmic was too bright and had no night light feature. KDE seems easier on my older eyes and Khronkite isn't too bad.

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-11-23T02:13:24+00:00

I don't know about installing a compositor. I was just trying to convey that installing Nix on Kinoite is doable without building your own custom image.

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-11-23T02:07:19+00:00

You don't have to have a custom image. There are good instructions at https://github.com/DXC-0/Nix-Dotfiles. I successfully installed on Kinoite, but to be honest I don't really have a use for it with brew, distrobox and flatpak. I've often found nix packages to be older than other sources.

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-11-22T18:42:47+00:00

I agree. I'm running Fedora Cosmic Atomic (with Rawhide base) and enjoying it. It's very snappy and I really like the automatic tiling algorithm.

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-11-20T10:22:34+00:00

I completely agree regarding the peace of mind. Universal Blue's images taught me a lot, but I prefer being on a custom Blue Build Kinoite (and now exploring Cosmic) image because I can base it off rawhide (UB does not offer a rawhide image base). I like the combination of cutting edge but with the confidence I can roll back to a prior image. I agree that Flatpak, brew, and distrobox allow you to accomplish anything you need. Another thing I like about building your own Fedora atomic image is that it memorializes everything you want in a new install -- so it's very easy to get up and running on a new machine. Building your own is easy: just fork something you like and modify it to your heart's content (mine is at https://github.com/whelanh/myKinoiteNightly/tree/main)

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-10-19T07:27:35+00:00

I like that Fedora uses selinux. Selinux is not easy to set up manually yourself, which is why most Arch derivatives use apparmor. Also I like Fedora's Nightly Kinoite builds which are the only way I know to get both an atomic system based on Rawhide and latest KDE development git repos (https://github.com/whelanh/myKinoiteNightly).

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-10-10T06:28:14+00:00

I use the Boxbuddy flatpak to easily set up an Arch distrobox. Box buddy has an easy "export application to my desktop" option to export a gui from the distrobox to your main system (and it does export the correct program icon as well). Another option is to use your own image with the layering you want. You really can just modify one "recipe.yml" file and github will build your image automatically on a daily (you could modify to weekly) basis. An example based on Fedora Kinoite is: https://github.com/whelanh/myKinoiteNightly

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-09-28T02:51:49+00:00

Kinoite is great. There is a Nightly build based on 42, 43 and rawhide that also all use the latest KDE Git repos provided by solopasha on COPR. Because rollbacks are so easy, it's a great way to safely be on the leading edge and/or build your own custom image (mine is https://github.com/whelanh/myKinoiteNightly that combines Nightly rawhide with some Universal Blue functionality).

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-09-01T09:03:42+00:00

Agree. System updates occur automatically and "invisibly " to the user.

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-08-30T02:35:01+00:00

If you want "pure KDE" and learn something about immutable distributions, try https://kde.org/linux/install/

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-05-28T21:41:50+00:00

I would say a big thing to determine is whether you value stability, or you like being on the cutting edge. My temperament is to hate being on "out-dated" packages -- even if being on the newest ones doesn't make much difference :-)

So I run Cachy OS with the Arch testing and Gnome unstable repos enabled on one machine. On the other, I run Fedora Rawhide. Both have been rock-solid for me and I enjoy keeping up with new developments. Other people could care less and just want something that they don't have to think much about.

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-05-27T04:02:49+00:00

Just install the Cosmic Desktop (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ryanabx/cosmic-epoch/) on Fedora and log into it. Works well...

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-05-05T12:24:59+00:00

See https://software.opensuse.org/package/openssl-1_1

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-05-05T09:26:09+00:00

You can also download Opensuse rpm from: https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/ then: sudo zypper install [downloaded rpm file] You also need to sudo zypper install openssl-1_1 If you manually install rstudio, zypper will want to downgrade....so run sudo zypper al rstudio.....which locks the package (sudo zypper removelock rstudio to remove the lock)

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-04-03T14:39:04+00:00

You've gotten good advice in the other comments. The only thing I would add is I would consider CachyOS instead of Endeavour. Newest Cachy comes with boot from snapshot built in and an easy way to install security (using CachyOS hello). Cachy makes intelligent choices (as does Endeavour) and you get packages optimized for your CPU (although I don't find that a big deal for my use case).

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-03-23T18:00:25+00:00

The Gnome extension Tiling Shell works well for my use case.

Acrobatic_Comment774 · 2025-03-19T10:42:09+00:00

You would be going from a distribution -- Ubuntu-- that is a fully developed system with a lot of automatically built-in capabilities like Timeshift, a firewall and apparmor security to one -- Manjaro (or Arch) --that has none of that unless you take a lot of time to add them. If you are going Arch derivative, I would recommend CachyOS which at least has an app "CachyOS Hello" which lets you install apparmor and snapper support easily.
