Ok I genuinely thought this ad was advocating for you to stick a piece of celery up your ass

This feels like a step back from what we currently have.

I use Kinoite over silverblue and other Fedora versions simply because of the desktop. I choose Fedora atomic over other immutable distros because I simply think it's the easiest/most convenient. VanillaOS might be pretty good, but from what I can tell it's on an Ubuntu/Debian update schedule which isn't what I want. I tried NixOS but it's complexity just wasn't appealing.

I use Bazzite over Kinoite because it has all of the tweaks I want, honestly the amount of "bloat" isn't as crazy as you'd imagine.

I don't have any resources about distrobox unfortunately, but I'm sure they're around.

Hi! I've been using Fedora Kinoite (and now Bazzite Desktop) for about a year.

I'd say bazzite desktop would be a good fit for you if you want to give an immutable desktop a try. It automatically sets up an arch distrobox for steam and lutris, it even has one click installers for things like oversteer in the post-install welcome screen, it auto-updates and is generally just quite a nice improvement on based Fedora Kinoite.

Immutable distros ARE used differently, you will mostly use flatpaks for basic apps (Although a lot of people do that anyway), but any traditional packages you want to install will be done in distrobox. You CAN overlay packages to the base system, but it should be seen as a last resort.

Let me know if you have any questions :)

Silver blue and Kinoite are the same thing but immutable.

I've used Fedora kinoite for at least a year now, it's pretty good

  1. Yes, I know this is extremely stupid and impractical. I did this for fun.
  2. This was achieved using QEMU/KVM and virt-manager. I first created the VM using virt-Manager, then made a bash script to start the VM, added the script to my sudoers list (Probably a security risk, but fuck it we ball), then made a steam shortcut to virt-viewer which also started the VM. Yes, this is on the advanced side for 99% of people and I 10000% recommend you never try this. I did it for fun, and nothing else.
  3. Unfortunately I cannot hide the header bar at the top, I think this is a property of gamescope. On desktop mode I can go fullscreen perfectly fine.
  4. Sorry for bad quality, I recorded it using steam link.
  5. This was not running on Deck hardware, however it can be done on Deck hardware, and I plan to do so on mine whenever I can get one.

Opposite for KDE. Wayland supports overscan, Xorg does not.

It's "technically" both. Ubuntu called their themeing Unity because that's the desktop it's supposed to emulate the style of.
