the link they gave you was for normal fedora.

i believe you need
/boot as ext4
/boot/efi as EFI (fat32 with some flags if EFI or ESP is not an option)

a subvolume named

root

root

for use as

a subvolume named

home

home

or partition for

/var/home

/var/home

(as /home/home will become a symlink to

/var/home

/var/home

)

this would be the bare minimum
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/installation/
kinoite will have the same limitations

Will this keep my existing home folder intact?

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 8:04 AM

no idea as i am new to fedora on desktop, only used some centos servers once in a blue moon
but in most installers when you use partitions, not btrfs subvolumes the home folder is kept if you do not format the home partition
no idea how anaconda handles this with btrfs subvolumes

Quick question. So It is not reccomended to have other partitioned os's on the same hard drive that Bazzite is installed on correct? But it's fine to have them on other hard drives in the same system.

KKyle Gospo Still waiting on RPM fusion for that, it's almost ready

idempotent•11/28/23, 9:08 AM

Nice, amazing!

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 9:36 AM

pretty much and the bootloader for bazzite should be on the same drive as bazzite, meaning if you are a new user the easiest way to achieve this is to just make sure bazzite is the only available disk when installing and same goes for when installing windows (make sure windows only sees the disk that windows will be using)
bit harder to do that with a steamdeck but on pc you can just install the system in a VM using disk passthrough and then reboot to the disk afterwards (i do this all the time)

once the systems are installed on separate disks you can just regenerate grub using

ujust regenerate-grub

ujust regenerate-grub

and it will just add the entries for you

Hello, how can I install virtual box?

DDetective Ra Hello, how can I install virtual box?

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 9:46 AM

use virt-manager instead as its better supported in bazzite. dont know how supported virtualbox is on ostree distros.

you can install it using the command
ujust enable-virtualizationujust enable-virtualization

after reboot you run sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtdsudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd to permanently activate the service (this might have to be run again after any new major fedora release)

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 9:50 AM

it will take a lot of time to install as you have to install qemu and libvirt directly into your image (this will also slow down future updates)

Can't I install it using distrobox? I just need network access and folder sharing

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 9:54 AM

virtual machines from my testing run like garbage in some situations in distrobox

Detective Ra•11/28/23, 9:54 AM

Ah, ok

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 9:55 AM

hence why we layer virt-manager

sbalani•11/28/23, 10:02 AM

so the simple answer is yes? Basically have the bootloader and bazzite on the same disk. Windows can be on a separate disk, I just need to egenerate grub using ujust regenerate-grub in the terminal in Bazzite. is that right?

FengLengshun•11/28/23, 10:17 AM

YOu can, but it is complicated: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/posts/run_libvirt_in_distrobox.md

FengLengshun•11/28/23, 10:17 AM

also, could just use https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Boxes if you don't need usb access, it performs well enough for basic usage

Detective Ra•11/28/23, 10:18 AM

I will use virt-manager

Detective Ra•11/28/23, 10:18 AM

Because I need windows vm

Detective Ra•11/28/23, 10:18 AM

Gnome boxes from what I remember only was for linux vms

FengLengshun•11/28/23, 10:18 AM

Gnome Boxes runs libvirt as well

FengLengshun•11/28/23, 10:18 AM

I have used it to run Win11 and it was fine

Detective Ra•11/28/23, 10:18 AM

I will give it a try

FengLengshun•11/28/23, 10:19 AM

A bit too restricted for me though, so I do prefer virt-manager (though for me I just layer it on my image recipe)

FengLengshun•11/28/23, 10:19 AM

but yeah, absolutely give it a try first

HikariKnight•11/28/23, 10:27 AM

windows bootloader also must be on the same disk as windows as windows have a nasty tendency to overwrite grub whenever they update their bootloader

sbalani•11/28/23, 10:39 AM

I see, noted, yes I normally put on the same disk. So to update grub i should do it from the linux console right?

DDetective Ra Just curious, does portmaster work on bazzite?

Detective Ra•11/28/23, 10:44 AM

The answer is yes, there is this script that does all the necessary configuration https://gist.github.com/WinkelCode/dffeb181a4c7903cbc463169324f61b8#file-install_portmaster_to_var-sh
