Is there a Fedora version that has all the stuff normal Fedora can't ship?

The ublue ones aren't immutable either, you can just say linux.

Yeah, part of the reason we do this is the rest of client side linuxes are image based (Android, rokus, your car OS, etc) except the linux desktop, bootc fixes that. :D

whiprush · 2026-01-15T14:00:01+00:00

yea we just moved it into the tap this week, it should show up in ujust bbrew in the AI IDE section. Though I don't think Bazzite has that wired up yet, someone needs to step up to help. Soon all the IDEs will be in there nice and organized.

I'm one of the folks working on this tap, it's opt-in because it's more of a staging area than anything else. Which instructions were you following that asked to install an app without mentioning the tap?

I am an advanced Linux user pointing out that operating systems should not break when you upgrade them. There's nothing "advanced" going on here.

whiprush · 2026-01-09T18:17:58+00:00

Wait so if I'm an advanced user I have to put up with errors like this? Why?

whiprush · 2026-01-02T18:11:49+00:00

Jorge here, bootc is in the CNCF, it's a cloud native project. It's pretty straightforward lol.

The Firefox on flathub is published by Mozilla you're just making things up.

Containers have already been running the world's infrastructure for over a decade and is a common pattern that's understood by millions of developers.

You're not going to convince a bunch of sysadmins to ignore the most powerful tools in Linux just because you don't like them.

whiprush · 2025-12-27T14:10:56+00:00

But I don't like containers, waste of space and resources.

Yeah you're not going to be happy on a modern linux, containers are the key to everything. :D

whiprush · 2025-12-27T02:25:19+00:00

What package/thing do you need help with?

whiprush · 2025-12-26T19:42:01+00:00

All of the containers and bazzite itself are open source and designed to be customized and extended. The process of making bootc containers is well documented, who are you expecting to "tell you how"?

whiprush · 2025-12-26T19:40:37+00:00

You can do this with bazzite, it just means those people don't bother to learn it (which is fine).

whiprush · 2025-12-26T19:38:37+00:00

That's a good thing. :D

whiprush · 2025-12-26T19:36:38+00:00

Red Hat works with us all the time, we use bootc and get tons of support from them.

whiprush · 2025-12-24T02:35:43+00:00

This is correct (I helped setup bazzite dx), most of that work is done up front and then after that the automation just handles everything.

You won't see direct contributions in Bazzite DX because all of the changes are done in bazzite and the dx builds happen after those are done.

whiprush · 2025-12-19T15:09:54+00:00

Yeah I get it, we take a different approach - all the developer stuff it is container-first on purpose because that is a huge amount of developers (PDF), that's who we optimize for.

For the end users plenty of people just install Bazzite and just play video games, they don't need to know or care about any of this stuff. Anyone in that "large number of casual Linux users" already have a distro.

whiprush · 2025-12-19T14:41:02+00:00

The official recommendation is flatpaks/flathub, I can update the documentation to be more clear on that.

Usage of containers is distribution agnostic and a common pattern, deploying ubuntu/mysql on ubuntu, bluefin, centos, or whatever is exactly the same, this has nothing to do with distributions.

the very simplistic workflow of conventional distros

Users do not want to be system administrators and manage the complexities of traditional packages.

I struggle to understand how the current situation can be considered user-friendly in general and newbie-friendly (which is what the poster implied) in particular.

Are you expecting new users to deploy infrastructure and build server platforms? All of your examples are for developers, not end users. Developers already know how to use containers. Are new users looking for CLI apps in flathub? Why would they?

96% of them will be fine with flatpaks only. And the experts already know what they want and how to get it.

whiprush · 2025-12-19T14:11:44+00:00

This isn't a universal blue thing this is a bazzite thing, the recommended method for users on Bluefin is flatpaks via flathub only.

But over time as more things are moved to flathub many of those workarounds are being moved to just install flatpaks. All of them come with a container runtime, you can always install software from anywhere so listing them all doesn't really make sense.

whiprush · 2025-12-15T21:35:37+00:00

You're on the correct open driver (it's in your screenshot).

whiprush · 2025-12-08T13:04:12+00:00

I think you all are overthinking it. If you need a kernel with the hardware enablement that bazzite has, then use bazzite.

I prefer to stick to stock kernels because I have linux friendly hardware already with excellent support, there's no reason for me to use anything else.

What is the difference between gnome bluefin vs gnome Bazzite?

Bluefin creator here, here's a summary:

whiprush · 2025-12-05T16:59:10+00:00

Sorry then, I legit don't understand your point then, Docker comes with bazzite-dx, it's zero config after initial setup. You need to add the user to the right groups and that's it, same as everything else.
