Do you see a meaningful difference?

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:20 AM

I'm being a bit uh... "perfectionist" and haven't fully swapped from pop_OS while I build my image.

j0rge•7/31/23, 2:20 AM

I'm pretty happy with flatpak steam, I don't do much outside of steam though, like I don't use a bunch of the tools in bazzite, etc.

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:20 AM

more control

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:21 AM

if I want LatencyFleX I can't have it with flatpak steam because a LatencyFleX flatpak doesn't exist

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:21 AM

but I can install it in my distrobox and use it all I want

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:21 AM

additionally, when running a distrobox, the copy of mesa in the box is used

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:21 AM

There are some things like the steam tinker launcher, but it looks like yatfi takes care of that too.

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:21 AM

so you can go as far as to use mesa-git in the box

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:21 AM

and have unstable mesa on a stable base OS

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:21 AM

you're on a bit of a different level than I am then. I'll definitely check it out when I get there. Lutris for my epic games and steam are sufficient for me most days.

j0rge•7/31/23, 2:22 AM

the nice thing about this model is "hey if you're a dad like me you can just game on bluefin or whatever, but if you wanna go hard rebase to bazzite, you don't lose anything." and you'll never lose anything again, from moving to anything, thats' really awesome.

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:22 AM

I use lutris in my arch box too!

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:22 AM

this is how bazzite-desktop does everything OOTB

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:22 AM

These days I've been on a Guild Wars 2 kick, and that runs wonderfully under steam.

jerb•7/31/23, 2:22 AM

i've actually moved from lutris to heroic for epic stuff recently

jerb•7/31/23, 2:22 AM

still use lutris for battle.net though

Jj0rge the nice thing about this model is "hey if you're a dad like me you can just gam...

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:22 AM

I'm definitely planning on like... making a branch to play with the new Cosmic DE before its ready knowing I can swap back trivially.

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:22 AM

@waffleophagus

distrobox create --name fedora --image fedora:latest

distrobox create --name fedora --image fedora:latest

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:22 AM

I wouldn't risk my distro to it normally

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:23 AM

distrobox enter fedora

distrobox enter fedora

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:23 AM

but under this model, I'm genuinely excited to

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:23 AM

then follow the sublime guide to install their stuff

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:23 AM

lastly

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:23 AM

distrobox-export --app sublime_text

distrobox-export --app sublime_text

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:23 AM

distrobox-export --app sublime_merge

distrobox-export --app sublime_merge

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:23 AM

Does sublime merge have an interactive rebase worth a damn?

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:23 AM

now they appear in your host OS

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:23 AM

I think that's the last thing I'm missing

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:23 AM

WWaffleophagus Does sublime merge have an interactive rebase worth a damn?

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:24 AM

yes

KKyle Gospo yes

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:24 AM

https://tenor.com/view/giddy-grin-smile-gif-13354595

Tenor

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:25 AM

That's slightly more expensive than I was expecting, but if its worth it, its worth it.

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:25 AM

definitely install without paying first

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:25 AM

it'll nag you like WinRAR

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:25 AM

Oh, like fork

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:25 AM

Fork is my current happy place with Git.

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:25 AM

https://git-fork.com/

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:25 AM

but no linux

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:26 AM

UI looks very similar to sublime merge tbh

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:26 AM

think you'll be right at home

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:26 AM

fantastic

Kyle Gospo•7/31/23, 2:26 AM

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:26 AM

yeeeep

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:27 AM

now we're getting into weird territory: How hard is it to pre-program distro box installs too? I know you can "save" a container... would it be easier to just import the distrobox container than it would be to try and script the box's setup?

At some point I'm gonna have to just pull the trigger and switch to my image rather than set it up for forever and stay on pop

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:29 AM

but my non-laptop machine is all VMs anyway on an unraid hypervisor

WaffleophagusOP•7/31/23, 2:29 AM

so I can swap easily enough

jerb•7/31/23, 2:29 AM

seconding distrobox-assemble, it's exactly what you need for this
