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.

The answers found below this post resonate with my own experiences.
I do have a question: When you run the
sestatuscommand in the terminal, what string/description is found corresponding to "Current mode"?Thank you for the response!
This is pretty interesting. If I recall correctly, installing Nix onto Silverblue came with the caveat that SELinux' enforcing mode had to be turned off. But, your terminal output tells another story. I wonder what's up.
FWIW, I had lost interest in installing Nix on Fedora Silverblue for this very reason. However, I might have to revisit my stance on this. Once again, thank you (for reinvigorating my interest in Nix)!
The source of the determinate nix installer has some mentions of SELinux. E.g. they have an .fc file, but I really don't know anything about SELinux.

I'd like to know if it works for you now. I only ran the commands from the post and everything worked ootb
That's probably why I gave up on it back then as well
Aight. Let's give it a go:
Terminal interaction
Well..., for some reason it didn't work. FWIW, I'm on the bluefin-dx-main-userns-hardened image as provided by secureblue.
Line 49
Yeah I noticed that line as well. But, I'm a bit pessimistic that it will not be solved. Btw, what's the image you're on?
Boring silverblue 40
Interesting!
So, I guess that at least one of the following 'transitions' is 'blameworthy':
I guess I'll pass out on it for now. Thank you though!
