I would like some tool like this

that would be incredibly handy

Gerblesh•7/25/23, 8:10 PM

we are probably gonna have to make it ourselves if we want it to become a reality

99% of people dont need or want an ISO creation tool they want to just load iso onto USB and install. At the end of the day what we actually need is a better installer that can take parameters during install process like image and install said image

akdevOP•7/25/23, 8:13 PM

That would be better but even then I'd still like the tool I said - would be useful when installing multiple systems and to generate ISOs for VMs

Bigpod•7/25/23, 8:13 PM

and much closer to that would be a post install app to rebase.

Bigpod•7/25/23, 8:14 PM

sure but how many do actually install enought multiple systems for this to be a useful endevour, unless we go corporate not that many specially since this kinda makes you not need to reinstall basically ever

Gerblesh•7/25/23, 8:15 PM

we could easily just add a couple of plugins to yafti to allow image selection, rebasing, developer toggle, etc

Bigpod•7/25/23, 8:15 PM

i didnt mean post install app like that look at how i explained above (maybe as a replacement for ISOS you install the installation system based on base with user creation and stuff like that in kiosk mode with final step being this app in which you select what you want it reboots and you have your install)

Gerblesh•7/25/23, 8:15 PM

Bigpod•7/25/23, 8:17 PM

basically what i said is if we had image selector app we could basically put it onto a barely there image have all the steps of ootb experiance you find in fedora(user creation...) and then just allow user to select which image they want system reboots and voila they have their system ready

Bigpod•7/25/23, 8:19 PM

i would just want to create as small an image as possible basically the app x or wayland and enought to do the stuff during ootb

Bigpod•7/25/23, 8:19 PM

and it could even apply kargs for nvidia when nvidia images are selected.

j0rge•7/25/23, 9:43 PM

alright I'm going to go the gnome extension route.

Jj0rge alright I'm going to go the gnome extension route.

Gerblesh•7/25/23, 9:48 PM

Yeah probably the best way to go about it

Jj0rge alright I'm going to go the gnome extension route.

Maybe this can help: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/creating-an-extension-with-a-simple-toggle-button/8794

GNOME Discourse

Creating an extension with a simple toggle button

I’d like to create a minimal extension that has a simple toggle button without menu. I simply want the icon that appears in the gnome panel to directly be a toggle button. I found plenty of examples involving toggle buttons within submenus, but I can’t figure out how to register a click handler on the icon directly. Any ideas? const { GObject...

A full on rebasing app could fuck up people's systems too, I've heard stories about people rebasing so many times that all the dotfiles are fucked and shit starts to get wack

j0rge•7/25/23, 9:49 PM

apps messing with people's dotfiles are not our fault

akdevOP•7/25/23, 9:50 PM

yeah rebasing isn't completely safe

j0rge•7/25/23, 9:50 PM

apps are breaking spec, they should be fixed

akdevOP•7/25/23, 9:50 PM

I broke my GTK configuration and then gnome looked really weird

j0rge•7/25/23, 9:50 PM

like that qgnome thing that breaks everything

Jj0rge apps messing with people's dotfiles are not our fault

Gerblesh•7/25/23, 9:50 PM

Yeah but if we make it super easy then people could very easily break their systems

akdevOP•7/25/23, 9:50 PM

Another time I broke my font config and all flatpaks couldn't render text

j0rge•7/25/23, 9:50 PM

I'm switching between variants of a common image

Jj0rge I'm switching between variants of a common image

Gerblesh•7/25/23, 9:51 PM

Variants of a single image works, but rebasing between desktops, etc gets messy

j0rge•7/25/23, 9:51 PM

yeah but that's not our problem to solve

Gerblesh•7/25/23, 9:51 PM

Yeah

j0rge•7/25/23, 9:51 PM

like, all these gnome fork things stomp on each other, that's on them

Gerblesh•7/25/23, 9:51 PM

A framework, nvidia, and developer toggle would be awesome though

Gerblesh•7/25/23, 9:52 PM

Then we would only need one bluefin ISO

j0rge•7/25/23, 9:52 PM

yeah

j0rge•7/25/23, 9:56 PM

plus one ISO is what you'd need for usb keys

j0rge•7/25/23, 10:02 PM

I'm glad someone mentioned the gnome extension, I've been sponsoring the guy who did the desktop cube extension for gnome so I'll just send him a mail

akdevOP•7/25/23, 10:05 PM

That was me
