And for that there's Fedora (and OpenSuse Tumbleweed) that have sensible defaults lol

ValerieOP•4/29/24, 1:54 AM

Or Bazzite

ValerieOP•4/29/24, 1:54 AM

Fedora's defaults are mostly sensible, except for all of the codec stuff

ValerieOP•4/29/24, 1:54 AM

Which sucks for newcomers

VValerie Or Bazzite 😉

VagrantWinds•4/29/24, 1:54 AM

Well. Bazzite is Fedora

VVagrantWinds Well. Bazzite is Fedora

Kyle Gospo•4/29/24, 1:54 AM

Yeah, but we have codecs

Kyle Gospo•4/29/24, 1:55 AM

Unfortunate state of upstream

ValerieOP•4/29/24, 1:55 AM

I struggled getting codecs shit to work on Kinoite when I first used it, it's a real sticking point

VagrantWinds•4/29/24, 1:58 AM

My fun with Arch was trying to get mdadm + luks2 all setup on arch cross referencing four different wiki pages and then I eventually just did the setup with fedora so I could look at their configs for a "oh, damn, that makes sense" moment

KKyle Gospo Yeah, but we have codecs

ValerieOP•4/29/24, 2:00 AM

Apparently bazzite was trending?

Kid•4/29/24, 2:00 AM

Hey I just let yafti do it's job with my selected choices and customized in the meantime

I got a openssh pop up
And I opened GNOME Software and it asked me for 3rd Party codecs

iirc it didnt ask for that last time. Thats probably normal af... i just want to make sure

Astral•4/29/24, 2:03 AM

Mean we have Ultramarine for that if you want Fedora standard with sane defaults

Astral•4/29/24, 2:03 AM

Which is nifty

AAstral Mean we have Ultramarine for that if you want Fedora standard with sane defaults

Noel•4/29/24, 2:04 AM

I've been meaning to mess with Ultramarine.

Astral•4/29/24, 2:05 AM

It's pretty nifty from what I can tell. Just basically standard Fedora but with a bunch of stuff preconfigured out of the box to get you going, mainly codecs etc. also the useful af terra repositories the team maintains

VValerie Apparently bazzite was trending?

@j0rge

VagrantWinds•4/29/24, 2:06 AM

The codec stuff is still weird because it wasn't an issue for 20+ years but they're big companies that are big targets and have their lawyer advice. Suse made the same changes but none of the community non-corperate based distros did.

Installing and Managing Software on Bazzite

Hi, Brew and Fleek are part of the upstream Universal Blue images. You can virtually use both in the same manner on most of the popular images (main, nvidia, bluefin, etc.) To answer your questions in order about the Bazzite images: No. Desktop images have Nvidia variants, but not the Steam Deck/HTPC and other handheld PC images do NOT hav...
