Hi! Have you considered including Gparted in the Silverblue images? My reasoning is that Gnome Disks alone isn't on par with KDE Partition Manager in terms of features.

Jj0rge I have a mascot in mind as well

akdev•5/15/23, 9:08 PM

I always pictured Blue from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends being the ublue mascot

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:08 PM

but I'd need to mail the artist and talk money and stuff so I don't want to do it until I'm sure

akdev•5/15/23, 9:08 PM

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:08 PM

but she'd have to be the bluefin mascot because she is certainly, opinionated. Like, she parks where she wants.

lol I see you have a lore in mind

Jj0rge like, what chromebook commercials look like, but with our stuff

Arcitec•5/15/23, 9:09 PM

Or an Apple parody with minimalistic music and some British dude narrating.

[Background music: Upbeat and futuristic instrumental]

[Scene: A sleek, minimalist living room with a large window overlooking a picturesque cityscape. The room is adorned with computers, and the protagonist is sitting comfortably on a stylish couch.]

Presenter (enthusiastically): Life, it's complicated, isn't it? But what if I told you there's a new operating system that simplifies everything? Introducing uBlue OS, the ultimate companion that simplifies your life every day.

[Cut to close-up shots of uBlue OS running on various computers, showcasing its intuitive interface and seamless integration.]

Presenter: With uBlue OS, your world becomes a symphony of simplicity. It's like having a personal assistant that anticipates your every need.

GET ON IT.

yeah if you want to file one of our newly added "add a package" issues, we have a new maintainer who needs practice so we could probably do it right away.

I'll also try my luck with suggesting micro

Arcitec•5/15/23, 9:12 PM

micro?

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:12 PM

micro we already nacked, sorry.

AArcitec micro?

RosmarusOP•5/15/23, 9:12 PM

a text editor somewhere between nano and vim in terms of features

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:12 PM

however if you use something like getfleek.dev you can have your cake and eat it too

RRosmarus a text editor somewhere between nano and vim in terms of features

Ahh, you could install it in a distrobox and export it seamlessly.

RosmarusOP•5/15/23, 9:13 PM

for now I'm using brew for the handful of cli tools I like to have on my host

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:13 PM

is micro not in brew?

it is

Regarding GParted, I have been back and forth on that too, for my own fork. GNOME Disks does 99% of what it does. But gparted is so nice for that last 1% where you need some extra info.

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:14 PM

I noticed that we tend to strongly favor system-level tools, which is the right approach imo

Arcitec•5/15/23, 9:14 PM

You mean cross-DE tools? I think gparted is good since it helps more than just GNOME users.

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:15 PM

like, at some point we'll have to make -slim images because that's what always happens in cloud, but also 1TB drives are like 50 bucks

AArcitec @marcoceppi It's ready. 🙂 <https://github.com/ublue-os/yafti/pull/102/commits>

Marco (马可)•5/15/23, 9:17 PM

I’ll leave some feedback there tonight. This is correct however we’ll need a small bit of transition code to maintain compat. Otherwise existing users are going to get the first run installer again unexpectedly

MMarco (马可)I’ll leave some feedback there tonight. This is correct however we’ll need a sma...

Arcitec•5/15/23, 9:18 PM

I know but didn't consider it mattering, because yafti is only used by people who rolled custom images (Small percentage) and it's all marked as alpha, so having transition code is kinda pointless.

Marco (马可)•5/15/23, 9:19 PM

It’s used in bluefin as well

RosmarusOP•5/15/23, 9:19 PM

How well does sericea-nvidia work?

MMarco (马可)It’s used in bluefin as well

Arcitec•5/15/23, 9:19 PM

Okay. Do we really want some messy code that looks for the old file and moves it to the new location though? Bluefin is ALSO alpha software. And they'll see yafti.yml every time it updates anyway.

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:20 PM

yeah but it's annoying

AArcitec Okay. Do we really want some messy code that looks for the old file and moves it...

Bigpod•5/15/23, 9:20 PM

last part i dont like

Bigpod•5/15/23, 9:20 PM

i dont want to see it every time it updates

RRosmarus How well does sericea-nvidia work?

dreamyuki•5/15/23, 9:20 PM

It works
But the experience is horrible

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:20 PM

it's like, I can ignore lots of stuff but popups enrage me

RRosmarus How well does sericea-nvidia work?

bsherman•5/15/23, 9:20 PM

at least as good as Sericea + rpmfusion nvidia drivers

I did rebase to it once... It works, but I haven't had the itch to stick with tiling for a while.

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:20 PM

like half the reason I'm doing this is so my computer never bothers me again (with stuff like update windows, etc)

dreamyuki•5/15/23, 9:21 PM

Sway + nvidia = flickering

Jj0rge it's like, I can ignore lots of stuff but popups enrage me

Bigpod•5/15/23, 9:21 PM

same i ignore lots of stuff automagically but open a window without a realy realy good reason === rage, for me

Ddreamyuki Sway + nvidia = flickering

bsherman•5/15/23, 9:21 PM

right, but not unique to rpm-ostree/ublue releases... but at least you can easily test with a rebase of ublue

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:22 PM

I hate that thing so much

Bigpod•5/15/23, 9:22 PM

in regards to gparted is one of those tools that generally isnt needed by most unless they need to do something specific so its something users can layer themselfs

AArcitec Okay. Do we really want some messy code that looks for the old file and moves it...

Marco (马可)•5/15/23, 9:23 PM

I’ll think about it and reply to the PR later tonight

Jj0rge it's like, I can ignore lots of stuff but popups enrage me

Arcitec•5/15/23, 9:23 PM

This is about yafti's new config location. It's only used in custom images and in bluefin. Both are alpha.

Bluefin installations will currently see yafti every time they install the OS and every time yafti.ymlyafti.yml changes (that's how it's designed), i.e. when Bluefin changes default config.

I can certainly put in code that also looks at the old location but yikes that's messy for something that fixes itself after 1 Yafti appearance.

Arcitec•5/15/23, 9:23 PM

For alpha I am never in favor of backwards-compat code unless it's very clean. In this case it's not clean.

Arcitec•5/15/23, 9:23 PM

The config system is very interwoven.

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:24 PM

I'm fine with it needing to happen, I'm just saying hey if you wanna keep adding stuff remember people are using it even though it's alpha

j0rge•5/15/23, 9:24 PM

so more, let's figure out a way to do that part better
