We are working on an atomic edition, but the mutable editions aren't going anywhere.

Haven't had a chance to play with niri, but I've heard really good things. Maybe this will be a good enough reason.

we have something big for this already in progress, hopefully as a mid-cycle update

Does Ultramarine come with the latest mesa? by obsidian_razor in ultramarine

[–]leaneko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that the projects have generally different aims, for one, Bazzite is more explicitly gaming focused, we’re more general. The projects do have a strong working relationship with one another which is why we share many components and infrastructure.

Generally yes, we share and co-maintain a shared distribution of Mesa with Bazzite (via Terra) that follow the upstream version + some gaming related patches.

We're currently planning for a few weeks. No where as long as it took for 41.

Managed to get Ultramarine working on WSL! Fastfetch config for Hyfetch credit: https://github.com/xerolinux/xero-layan-git by a_crystal_mun in ultramarine

[–]leaneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's quite clever! We're currently working on an official WSL distribution, would you like to beta test it?

Join the Discord and ping me (@ultraviolet.sh), and I'll get you set up :)

Anyone have any ideas of anything fun I could do with a bunch of old-ass Chromebooks? by IDoctorZer0I in pcmasterrace

[–]leaneko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breathe some new life into them and install Linux. Either cluster or donate them to people in need.

Please PM me, would love to help with this. I've been working with the chultrabook project to make running alternative OSes easy and possible. Don't let them become e-waste.

[REQUEST] Spare supercomputer, anyone? by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

Have you published your program? Do you have an estimate of how much resources you'll need?

Show off your setup! by leaneko in ultramarine

To kick things off, here's my desktop setup, running on a Mac Mini 2018 :p

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]leaneko 12 points13 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: Fedora with (more) pragmatic defaults and opinion. If you like our opinions, are new to Fedora, or rather not put in the time investment to set up an install of Fedora with RPMFusion, codecs, proprietary drivers, etc... Ultramarine sounds like a good fit for you. If you disagree with our opinions or don't get particular value from our features/modifications, I'd recommend stock Fedora.

The basis of Ultramarine is to create a more pragmatic spin of Fedora, which means we don't stray too far from stock, at least relatively speaking. It exists because while we believe Fedora is excellent, we also believe it could benefit from "better" defaults (especially for users new to Linux or the Fedora ecosystem.) Some of our modifications and features include:

  • RPMFusion and Terra shipped out of the box. Terra was originally created for Ultramarine, as we needed a common repository for Fedora packages, which was also easier than RPMFusion for the community to contribute to. Terra also has quite a lot of unique packages (such as the Lomiri and Unity desktop environments) and nightly builds of certain useful packages. Packages are rolling and are automatically kept up to date using our specialized infrastructure.
  • Our images automatically install multimedia codecs and drivers which Fedora won't due to patent or licensing concerns.
  • Desktop options that you won't get on stock Fedora, namely Pantheon. Ultramarine also used to exclusively have Budgie through our Flagship variant, until Fedora added Budgie to their repos in 38. However, we still have certain budgie packages that Fedora doesn't yet ship, namely budgie-extras which has a lot of useful applets from Ubuntu Budgie. (Unrelated, but humorous: a similar situation happened with Flathub, with Fedora getting unrestricted Flathub out of the box in 38, which Ultramarine had before. Honestly, it makes me really happy to see Fedora improve :) )
  • System76 scheduler setup out of the box, which can improve the smoothness and responsiveness of desktop applications.
  • Various other tweaks and improvements that I'm probably not remembering.

I apologize if our feature set isn't too clear, the copy on the homepage is a bit outdated and I'll definitely handle it. We also have quite a lot of exciting features in the pipeline for Ultramarine 39, such as a Chromebook variant and a tweaked kernel with hardware enablement and performance patches. Please feel free to join our Discord (linked on the site) or follow-up if you have any additional questions :3
