My case is the opposite. I game on my laptop or my Steam Deck, and work on my PC. I installed Bazzite on my laptop yesterday right after going over this thread. On my PC I also tinker quite a bit, so I just have plain Fedora Gnome on it. I'm going to spin a VM with Bluefin to play with it a bit. Thanks for the tip. One thing that could be an issue with Bluefin, and maybe you can enlighten me here, is that according to this video on their site, they have done away with OS-tree? Because that would make this entirely based on FlatPaks and no other options, which is a huge block for me.

I don't understand exactly what you mean with that, but I think you are afraid of any restrictions.

  • uBlue (Bluefin, Bazzite, etc.) is still Fedora Atomic, just like Silverblue. It's just that they take the OG image, rebuild it based on some instructions, and then redistribute it. It still has OSTree and all other stuff.
  • You aren't set on Flatpak, but you definitely should use it on image based distros. Flatpaks are great and convenient, that's why they're getting more and more popular, also for devs. Because of that, the default (and only) way of installing apps via software center is Flatpak. If you don't like that, you can still use Distrobox (e.g. with Pacman, DNF, etc.), Nix, Brew, or any other package manager you like, b but that's more for CLI-users.
  • I mostly work graphically, but if I have to do some CLI stuff, then I enter my Arch-Distrobox. I never encountered any problems or restrictions there tbh
  • And you can still layer (install rpm packages on the host system) via rpm-ostree if you really need it, but it's not recommended and only there for essential stuff. Use containers instead.

I use rpm-ostree on Bazzite. What put me off was when the guy in the video (I'm assuming he's one of the maintainers) said "you have FlatPaks, and that's it". But if OStree is still there, I'm golden to take it for a spin.

I'll spin the VM and see if I encounter any blocks. And you are absolutely correct, I am afraid of any restrictions.

Compared to Bazzite, there shouldn't be (m)any differences. You can see Bazzite just as a gaming-oriented Bluefin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
