Think of it like you have a base OS that is stock, like Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite. Then the different ublue offerings, Bluefin/Aurora/Bazzite/Ucore take those and add new things on top. If you rebase, anything you installed as a user isn’t touched. But all of the addons change to whatever the default is for that ublue variant.

So someone rebasing from Bluefin/Aurora to Bazzite will have Lutris and Steam (and other gaming specific software and system tweaks) automatically ‘layered’ as part of the default experience, since Bazzite is targeted primarily at gaming, and the other two for general desktop use.

You’re swapping out the default system image, just like when you update and the update is actually just replacing your entire OS with the new version (until the feature that let’s them only replace things that have changed gets finished).

Just FYI the Nvidia issues aren’t fixed yet. There’s still lots of apps that flicker. The last fix needed is on Nvidia’s part and should be in their updated drivers in May.

Which ‘Victims of Communism’ number are you using for that? The one where they include all the Nazis killed, as well as their potential children and potential grandchildren who didn’t even exist yet?

I fully admit its probably a me issue, but I couldn’t get Gajim to work properly through either the flatpak or the aur, which meant I wasn’t going to ask anyone else to try. Dino was was fine but unless I missed it, it hasnt had an update in a while and didn’t seem like it was actively being worked on. Dino 0.4 came out over a year ago. Conversations was fine though.

As for multi-user conferences, I want to invite friends and family to “My Cool Server”, which has rooms they can join for topics like “Books” and “Music”, but I don’t want these to be publically accessible. I want them to be able to join them on their own as long as they are a member of " My Cool Server", which is how Discord works with role bots and how Matrix works with Spaces and Rooms. If that makes more sense.

Voice and video are also important, which are honestly not great in Matrix either, but they did recently add “Video Rooms” to Element that are persistent voice/video chats people who are members of a Space can join and leave at any time like you can in Discord. “Group calls” doesn’t fit the bill for this if it needs to be manually initiated.

Happy to hear if I’m wrong about any of that though.

I couldn’t find any decent XMPP clients that supported encryption and worked on both desktop and mobile without looking like they were made in 1995. It also doesn’t seem to function well as a Discord-like replacement, since I don’t want a separate “group chat” for every single topic. I want a central hub where people can then join pre-existing channels like you can in Discord and Matrix.

Proton has free accounts as well that work for probably 99% of people, minus the convenience of having a single account for YouTube, etc.

Bazzite seems nice, but is based on Fedora. Which admittedly, is the best implementation of an immutable system so far, but not quite what I’d prefer.

Can’t wait for the public release cuz all I really want is immutable Arch with snapshots preconfigured and selectable on boot like OpenSUSE.

Been using Cosmos since the earliest versions. It’s not complete in that the dev is still working on things like backups, managing NFS/SMB shares, and things like that. But it’s the best all-in-one package I’ve used that doesn’t require you to install an entire operating system just for that purpose. Had significantly fewer issues than when I tried to use something like TrueNAS if you actually want to host other services and not just use it for file storage. Install something like Debian, slap Cosmos on top, import some compose files and you’re done.

Fan control is either impossible or a pain in the ass since stuff like Green With Envy use something only available on x11. For me, it means my GPU fans spin up and down repeatedly at idle because the minimum fan speed is something like 33% and I can’t pin it there without a program to do so, let alone set reasonable fan curves.

What are you using now? I don’t use any other Proton services because they either don’t work (Linux) or are a waste of resources (Proton Pass). As far as I can tell, any service that claims to be privacy-oriented is hosted somewhere where privacy isn’t a concern at all, like Fastmail in Australia. I understand email isn’t a private protocol in the first place, but I’d prefer not to just move to Gmail-lite as far as who I’m giving my information to.
