Wouldn't it be fun to have "a ready-to-game Arch Linux based OCI designed for use exclusively in distrobox"?
You may be happy, or perhaps dismayed, to learn that I finally installed Bazzite on my desktop.
I did a bit tonne of sampling, with BlendOS and Vanilla, trying things out, but Fedora wins.
I have Fedora Silverblue on a usb in case Bazzite does not like my computer, but I think I have done enough hopping for a lifetime.
I swear I will just jump onto the NIXOS (or guix) bandwagon if I ever decide to switch again.
Well played! Welcome to the cool kids club! I've actually used Bazzite myself for a short while a couple of months ago. It felt like a holiday destination with lots of cool stuff, but it was more opinionated than what I'm comfortable with. So I returned back home (read: custom uBlue image) afterwards, where I am in command for what's found inside and where I am free to do whatever I will. Though, I did pick up some of the things I liked from Bazzite ๐, so it was not for naught ๐.
Very interesting! I've got my own reasons for preferring Fedora *cough* ~security~ *cough*, but I'm very interested to know your findings! I'd have to admit that Vanilla OS' upcoming 2.0 Orchid update is very tempting though.
Hmm..., perhaps consider the following:
rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/39/x86_64/silverblue(assuming you're already on Fedora 39).sudo ostree admin pin 0.rpm-ostree rollback.The above steps do assume that you haven't pinned any prior Silverblue-deployments; as you don't necessarily need multiple Silverblue-deployments ๐ . Furthermore, they assume no additional steps involving Nvidia; but that's mostly because I don't have any experience dealing with that (thankfully).
FWIW, you can install both Nix and Guix on Silverblue.
I super appreciate all of the tips! I thought I was good installing Bazzite with a fresh install using an ISO, made sure to pick the NVIDIA option... it just failed to load the drivers, and showed a gray screen switching to open drivers. I know what I am not buying when I uprade in like 5 years.
That usb become necessary.
Anyways, before falling unconsious (finally going to sleep... and waking up early damn) I played with NixOS in a VM. I have sooooo much to learn... so I think I will just install the package manager, and gorge on the cake I get to keep.
It has been my pleasure ๐!
Very strange. Consider reporting this as a bug on their Github or ask assistance on their discord server.
NixOS, while excellent at what it offers, is indeed very different from almost anything else. I wish you the best of luck if you wish to conquer it, but I've personally put it on my backlog; I hope to return to it eventually, but not now. Perhaps consider using Fleek, which would be Nix-made-easy. Obviously, it isn't as powerful, but perhaps a new user doesn't need that much power in the first place ๐.
Okay, fleek is looking like everything I need to be happy. Learning about devbox made me excited too.
Damn, I am about ready to start doing some actual work, hah. Get back to programming actually start making things.
No, Silverblue + distrobox is enough for me. Fleek will probably help solve some of my package edge cases I have been struggling to resolve.
Computing is fun.
Aight. Hope to meet you next time your hand and fingers start tingling and itching ๐.
