@hermmm Were you watching Eurovision yesterday in the tub? I heard Sweden beat Finland. beagle_love

ArcitecOP•5/14/23, 2:14 PM

Finland's song was really funny though. It should have won.

You can make a distrobox with Arch, install it from AUR and then export it to the host.

Yeah. I read on reddit that we got 84% of the popular vote though, so I'm just sayin fuck the jury and we won.

xyny•5/14/23, 2:42 PM

It's a shame Loreen got a win a second time with a much worse song.

See the note on that section

ragectl•5/14/23, 2:49 PM

The flatpak is provided primarily for ease of trying out wezterm with low commitment, and you are encouraged to use native packages for your system once you're ready to get the most out of wezterm.

ArcitecOP•5/14/23, 2:49 PM

I agree, Loreen's song is the typical bland modern pop stuff. Your song was hilarious. And it won the people's vote.

ArcitecOP•5/14/23, 2:50 PM

Oh okay, but perhaps they're talking about some rare functionality that you aren't using. Try it and see if it works.

Terminals on Flathub are no big problem; they just need to be aware of Flatpak env and call flatpak-spawn --host <name of shell binary>flatpak-spawn --host <name of shell binary> to spawn a shell that runs entirely unsandboxed. While the terminal GUI itself is sandboxed. So most terminals work perfectly in Flathub. If you really need it natively then I can help you get started with making a custom uBlue OS.

ragectl•5/14/23, 2:55 PM

Wez does build rpms for each release hosted on GitHub, so I could just cheat by layering it. But since I am considering a build for work focused use with some other things, it wouldn't hurt to include Wezterm

ragectl•5/14/23, 2:56 PM

I asked about the packages on Matrix and a few minutes later he'd replaced Fedora35 with Fedora38

ArcitecOP•5/14/23, 2:59 PM

If you're interested, GitHub (Microsoft) will build your OS images daily according to your specification and host it for free on the same container registry that uBlue uses. It involves forking https://github.com/ublue-os/startingpoint on GitHub, ~~then set https://github.com/Arcitec/os/tree/firstboot-refactor as an extra remote and pull all of its changes (they'll be in the main repo later but for now you gotta do it manually).~~ Edit: Those changes are merged so you only need the main repo now.

After you have that, I suggest creating a new branch called something unique, like rage-osrage-os, set that as your main branch in GitHub's repo settings.

Now just start editing recipe.ymlrecipe.yml to list the packages you want to include/exclude, and editing yafti.ymlyafti.yml to configure your own "on-login package installer".

ragectl•5/14/23, 3:00 PM

Oh, one thing I haven't tested on my uBlue install on my laptop earlier was the YubiKeys and U2F working for things like GDM and sudo. Does anyone use that?

ArcitecOP•5/14/23, 3:00 PM

The reason for branching is so that you can easily fast-forward mainmain to upstream anytime, and then rebase your own rage-osrage-os branch onto main peridically to get improvements.

ragectl•5/14/23, 3:00 PM

I think I saw some rules added to support it, but I haven't tested

ArcitecOP•5/14/23, 3:04 PM

You can definitely self-host the build and container images, but it requires changing the .github.github directory's workflow actions to something you self host.

AArcitec For uBlue's website or for startingpoint's readme?

xyny•5/14/23, 3:04 PM

The docs website, yes. The page make-your-own (or whatever) has more general instructions for creating custom images and all the repo setup stuff. Startingpoint's readme is more about startingpoint's configuration.

ArcitecOP•5/14/23, 3:07 PM

Hehe. I have been thinking of self-hosting uBlue too. But GitHub doesn't seem to mind hosting 90 days of <large> container revisions for now.

ArcitecOP•5/14/23, 3:09 PM

There is also an option to pay for GHCR (Github) which doesn't sound too bad if they start charging for the storage. It will probably remain cheap if they decide to add a fee.

j0rge•5/14/23, 3:12 PM

ublue-os/forge is a self hosting setup, more eyes there appreciated!

ArcitecOP•5/14/23, 3:15 PM

I had totally forgotten about forge! It's a very smart idea, to have an easy selfhost process. I guess GHCR is too easy to use to pass up now though.

Well you can use just plain html in markdown, but it's not nice. And extending MkDocs would probably be possible too.

ArcitecOP•5/14/23, 7:50 PM

PNG is definitely the easiest solution. Anything else would require the ability to use CSS styles to create something like https://www.fedoraproject.org/workstation/ and that's just so much work.
