Hi, can Bazzite work as general-purpose? And I think I might have downloaded the wrong iso because there wasn't any live desktop just the installer upon booting into it...

AAuwufy Hi, can Bazzite work as general-purpose? And I think I might have downloaded the...

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/18/24, 12:30 AM

there is no live desktop at all

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/18/24, 12:30 AM

fedora atomic doesn't ship with that

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/18/24, 12:30 AM

and yeah there's general "desktop" images

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/18/24, 12:30 AM

bazzite

bazzite

and

bazzite-nvidia

bazzite-nvidia

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 12:31 AM

Okay, I downloaded the kde one

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 12:33 AM

I didn't really pay attention to all the handheld-pc mentions, but upon joining here I started to wonder of bazzite was exclusive to them and I shouldv'e downloaded bluefin or something...

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/18/24, 12:33 AM

yeah you're good. there are 2 types of bazzite images: desktop & handheld/htpc

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 12:36 AM

ok thanks

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 12:38 AM

Um what's this? Why the duplicate entries?

AAuwufy Um what's this? Why the duplicate entries?

antheas•3/18/24, 12:40 AM

fresh install

antheas•3/18/24, 12:40 AM

is part of it

antheas•3/18/24, 12:40 AM

a and b images are the same

antheas•3/18/24, 12:40 AM

as for them appearing 2x cant answer that

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 12:42 AM

Oh...I hope it doesn't mean I might have goofed up the installation

pintocat•3/18/24, 12:42 AM

nah, mine is duplicated too

Why does Grub2 present twice/double menuentry for each ostree entry

Hi all ! I have three Silverblue deployments $ rpm-ostree status State: idle Deployments: ● ostree://fedora:fedora/34/x86_64/silverblue Version: 34.20210423.n.0 (2021-04-23T08:10:25Z) ostree://fedora:fedora/34/x86_64/silverblue Version: 34.20210423.n.0 (2021-04-23T08:10:25Z) ...

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 12:42 AM

Ah.

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/18/24, 12:48 AM

it's an upstream bug

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/18/24, 12:48 AM

it's been here for years

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/18/24, 12:48 AM

way before bazzite or universal blue existed

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 1:37 AM

I seem to have borked the installation somehow, anyway :(

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 1:49 AM

Did you do manual partition or anything?

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 1:53 AM

Yeah, because I had a separate drive for /home

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 1:53 AM

Yeah, that's not supported

Techz•3/18/24, 1:53 AM

Has anything changed with latest image and controllers... Xbox controller stopped working (using dongle) same with 8bit dongle it connects but doesn't register in steam...

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 1:53 AM

Don't do that

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 1:53 AM

At least that's what I wanted

TTechz Has anything changed with latest image and controllers... Xbox controller stoppe...

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 1:53 AM

Nothing whatsoever

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 1:53 AM

Not even a minor version bump

Techz•3/18/24, 1:54 AM

Hrmm :sus_think:

KKyle Gospo Yeah, that's not supported

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 1:54 AM

Why not?

AAuwufy Why not?

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 1:55 AM

Immutable Fedora installations are quite different from normal Fedora installations, even upstream does not support manual installation. You can do it, there's very long guides on how to do it properly, it's not worth it

AAuwufy Yeah, because I had a separate drive for /home

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 1:57 AM

Immutable? Why isn't it a normal Fedora distro like nobara/ultramarine (except those break right after updating a fresh install)?

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 1:57 AM

Because I like immutable

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 1:58 AM

Quite literally everything in this Discord is immutable

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 1:58 AM

Or as Fedora calls it, atomic

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 1:58 AM

Since you actually can change the root partition via package layering

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 1:59 AM

I mean how am I to recover "/home" when the system breaks again, or preserve it when installing a another OS, if home's mapped to the same broken system?

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 1:59 AM

Home is a folder in var

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 1:59 AM

You may back up and restore that partition how you like

AuwufyOP•3/18/24, 2:01 AM

Why is home in /var? This is making arch or any rolling-release distro seem more a stable choice

dreamyuki•3/18/24, 2:01 AM

Because ostree

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 2:01 AM

Because that's the writable partition

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 2:01 AM

Everything else is part of an image and read only except by a package layer

dreamyuki•3/18/24, 2:02 AM

Fedora Atomic Desktop is more stable than Fedora Workstation

dreamyuki•3/18/24, 2:02 AM

You can rollback to previous deployment

Ddreamyuki You can rollback to previous deployment

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 2:02 AM

In our case you can also arbitrarily pick one in a 90 day period

Kyle Gospo•3/18/24, 2:03 AM

Entire os, packages included, will be brought to exactly that date

dreamyuki•3/18/24, 2:03 AM

You can upgrade to a major version without any issue like workstation variant
