  • My grandma is German so I still drop words like this in otherwise normal English conversation. It’s just how me and my cousins called these things growing up.

    Lappen- referring to a face washer/cloth

    Barfuss- referring to barefoot

  • Ublue will happily include media codecs, nvidia drivers, ootb hardware acceleration… the things you would likely do with a Fedora image - but Fedora can’t or won’t include by default due to strict guidelines on their project or legal concerns.

    Side other niceties like ublue includes distrobox, which is commonly used in other immutable distros, but Fedora don’t include it.

    It’s basically overcoming Fedora’s limitations as a starting point. And It’s not downstream, it’s more alongside Fedora, you’re essentially running Fedora with ublue’s optimisations plugged in. When Fedora’s updates come through, you’ve got them.

    And here’s the mission statement https://universal-blue.org/mission.html

  • Well it’s a discussion in bad taste. I don’t really know how to explain more because this should be obvious already why people wouldn’t like seeing it.

    I can present a report on an extremely low LTIFR right after a workplace fatality and watch as I never get to present data in that room again.

    Turning around and saying “but it’s factual!” isn’t going to get a “you’re right. Good job mate”

  • Only those first 4 are within the ublue project. The others are just part of Fedora, different variations of Fedora immutable distro.

    A ublue can be rebased to the Fedora images. So you could go from having Aurora to having Kinoite for example.

    That repository of images you linked to you can get from the project pages. Like the Bazzite page will say “are you on handheld?”, “do you need game mode?” “Do you have nvidia?” And then link you to the appropriate version from that repository.

    There might be deprecated versions in there, for example I know they don’t maintain the Surface kernel version anymore.

  • Their website has a rundown of each, links to each projects page, and notes on what makes ublue different.

    But ignore all the “cloud native” talk. It’s got nothing to do with end user experience and I don’t know why they still feel the need to highlight it.

  • It’s all part of the same project, Universal Blue.

    Aurora -desktop KDE

    Bluefin - desktop Gnome

    Bazzite - gaming and handheld focused with KDE

    I installed Bazzite on a desktop I recently gave away to some local people. I also used Bazzite for two years as a htpc before I got a steam deck. It was good stuff, never had problems with it.
