Our base images are not recommended for daily use, bazzite and bluefin/aurora absolutely are recommended
Eyou mean ublue kinoite, silverblue, etc.
E?
Hthose are the base images
Ei ran ublue kinoite on my desktop for over a year
ASo bazzite and bluefin/aurora are base images or are recommended for daily use? Sorry, English isn't my native language and I want to be sure I understand what I read
Hbazzite. bluefin/aurora are our actual "products" they are meant for daily use and are built from the base images (silverblue, kinoite, etc) which are not meant for daily use
AOh, ok. Thanks for helping me understand. Which guide should I follow to install bazzite? Also, do I need to make a partition 1st or can I make a partition during installation like when installing Ubuntu?
Hif you want the most dead simple way, unplug the main drive, install bazzite on a separate drive, plug other drive back

ASadly I can't do that. I have some programs installed on my HDD that I want to keep using. And sadly they run on windows only
Hwell you do not want windows and linux to ever share the same drive
Hif you absolutely need to have them on the dame drive (lets say you have only 1 ssd and 1 hdd)
then you need to put the linux efi on the hdd and set the hdd as the boot drive, that way you avoid windows nuking the grub bootloader

AOh I know. I have windows installed on a small SSD. Only few programs and games are installed on my HDD
AThanks for the tip. Really appreciated :3

OSuppose one has an iGPU and dGPU, both AMD, and wants to make a particular flatpak use the dGPU. How would they go about that?
ACool, thanks :3
Hswitcherooctl launch --gpu=1 /path/to/executable i think the command isyou can get the gpu indexes from
switcherooctl listso you can just replace the executable to the flatpak command
KNo need to specify the GPU
KSwitcheroo will always default to the marked dedicated
KYou can also right click on the desktop shortcut and launch on dedicated
Oso does that mean always launching it with switcheroo or does that get saved somehow?
WIf you on KDE you can do it in the UI and tell it to use the dedicated GPU. Right click on the app in the menu "Edit Application" >> Application Tab >> Advanced Options >> Run using dedicated graphics card
Hoh didnt know about this
Othat's probably the solution I'm looking for, thanks!
KIt's all switcheroo all the way down
CDid this change at some point?
Used to be base (do not use) -> main (use like upstream) -> featured/custom bazzite/bluefin/aurora/etc
Used to be base (do not use) -> main (use like upstream) -> featured/custom bazzite/bluefin/aurora/etc
KNo distinction between base and main
KWe don't recommend them to anyone except those making custom images from them
Co.0 huh
Cthat definitely is new
Hpeople can use them, but we do not recommend it because they are not our focus past being as close to normal silverblue/kinoite/atomic as possible
CHmmm
Hits been like that for some months now from my understanding
KRight, you're not going to get pre-installed flatpaks, you still have RPM Firefox, and at the end of the day our product is not Fedora but slightly better
KThat decision is I think over 6 months old now
KIt's also why the new website doesn't strongly emphasize their existence, and why we don't offer isos for them
KJust something we don't want normal users to be using as a desktop under any circumstance
CAh. I have been somewhat out of the loop
Hnp it happens when youre busy
CNot really even busy tbh
Hthe base images are more of a byproduct from what we actually make
CJust.. unable to contribute to ISO development, which was 95% of the effort around here for a long time, and unable to do much else since my other contributions have either been implemented or rejected
Jthat raid boss was slain
Jmostly just waiting for the efficient downloads, everything else is basically done
CYeah. The 'batteries included' bit which made a big difference initially compared to upstream Silverblue/Kinoite/etc was done a very long time ago
Tbasically its a support thing. nobody is going to add major changes to the base images because thats what bluefin, aurora, and bazzite are for now
CI see
