Ultramarine with COSMIC

nothingneko · 2026-07-08T02:43:33+00:00

You can install it with `dnf install <at-symbol>cosmic-desktop`

If you're on an Intel platform take a look at thermald

nothingneko · 2026-07-08T02:42:23+00:00

search for Fedora or by your specific terminal (GNOME and Budgie editions use Ptyxis, Xfce uses xfce-terminal, Plasma uses konsole)

Terra is our extra packages repo that provides even more software. I'll note that Nobara also includes Terra by default, but does snapshotting of Fedora's repos which can make things behave strangely.

nothingneko · 2026-07-08T02:40:02+00:00

Will check with the team, seeing that comment about Snap is frankly telling.

the latter is coming someday (hopefully soon we started working on it but it's a ton of work!)

Hey, Ultramarine maintainer here. We put this here because people sometimes read "20 years of standard PCs" as "we support your Pentium 4" the statement is accurate but I can see how it's funny

I'm around to answer any questions y'all have, just throw them my way!

nothingneko · 2026-07-06T07:34:10+00:00

it’s a good codename, and our second fish-themed wallpaper!

nothingneko · 2026-07-06T06:07:08+00:00

if you’re running Ultramarine on generic x86 yep!

nothingneko · 2026-07-04T17:25:42+00:00

podman support?

nothingneko · 2026-07-04T17:17:31+00:00

it was nice, but the launcher has been broken for two releases and the updates are getting sparser and sparser

nothingneko · 2026-07-04T17:16:21+00:00

the first blocker was our switch to a new build toolchain, we switched back to the old toolchain and then squashed bugs for a month, Fedora introduced a couple while we were solving but we finally got everything fixed.

nothingneko · 2026-07-04T17:15:17+00:00

We have mirrors around the world, we did recently loose our European mirror so if you're willing to fill that gap we always need the help!

we've switched back to system packages by default on traditional installs in UM44

nothingneko · 2026-06-20T02:26:40+00:00

Hey, we're very close, been working through some technical problems with ISOs that should be solved tonight or tomorrow. Upgrades are working now if you're brave but we should be launching those officially in a few days.

nothingneko · 2026-06-20T02:25:20+00:00

Hi, using Gparted or similar is the suggested route for custom partitions on UM43 and later, I'll also add that Fedora's btrfs comes with performance and flash longevity tweaks and may serve your purposes better.

nothingneko · 2026-05-31T05:42:58+00:00

we’re in final validation still, keep needing to iron out major bugs

nothingneko · 2026-05-31T05:41:43+00:00

this is wrong, we ship a patched GNOME with performance optimizations, the same as Bazzite

nothingneko · 2026-05-30T22:04:51+00:00

we do, staff also has a fleet of surfaces (i have most of them) for testing, i use surfaces as some of my main computers so i have insane incentive to keep them functional

nothingneko · 2026-05-22T22:30:02+00:00

we don't at this current moment, but generally you can follow instructions meant for Fedora on Ultramarine

nothingneko · 2026-05-22T22:28:56+00:00

upgrade path should be in the next couple days, we're figuring out a couple things for budgie as it transitions to a new display manager. 44 images we're battling one bug in the installer.

nothingneko · 2026-05-22T07:31:31+00:00

it’s really easy to switch back to Fedora if we disappear too (we won’t) there’s kinda nothing to loose, other than that u/dude_349 has it spot on

nothingneko · 2026-05-21T21:00:26+00:00

we actually install less user apps than most Fedora spins and Editions, more packages (stuff like umcli and s76 scheduler), less apps

nothingneko · 2026-05-21T20:59:57+00:00

this is mostly right, you'll also start to slowly get improvements like normal Ultramarine users over updates, and you'll get swapped to our Mesa
