bazzite. 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

AragamiOP•6/9/24, 3:14 PM

Oh, 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?

HikariKnight•6/9/24, 3:16 PM

if you want the most dead simple way, unplug the main drive, install bazzite on a separate drive, plug other drive back
profit

AragamiOP•6/9/24, 3:18 PM

Sadly 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

HikariKnight•6/9/24, 3:18 PM

well you do not want windows and linux to ever share the same drive

HikariKnight•6/9/24, 3:20 PM

if 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

HHikariKnight well you do not want windows and linux to ever share the same drive

AragamiOP•6/9/24, 3:20 PM

Oh I know. I have windows installed on a small SSD. Only few programs and games are installed on my HDD

Thanks for the tip. Really appreciated :3

Onihikage•6/9/24, 3:22 PM

Suppose one has an iGPU and dGPU, both AMD, and wants to make a particular flatpak use the dGPU. How would they go about that?

switcherooctl launch --gpu=1 /path/to/executable

switcherooctl launch --gpu=1 /path/to/executable

i think the command is
you can get the gpu indexes from

switcherooctl list

switcherooctl list

HikariKnight•6/9/24, 3:25 PM

so you can just replace the executable to the flatpak command

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 3:26 PM

No need to specify the GPU

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 3:26 PM

Switcheroo will always default to the marked dedicated

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 3:27 PM

You can also right click on the desktop shortcut and launch on dedicated

Onihikage•6/9/24, 3:28 PM

so does that mean always launching it with switcheroo or does that get saved somehow?

wolfyreload•6/9/24, 3:28 PM

If 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

KKyle Gospo You can also right click on the desktop shortcut and launch on dedicated

Onihikage•6/9/24, 3:28 PM

that's probably the solution I'm looking for, thanks!

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 3:31 PM

No distinction between base and main

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 3:32 PM

We don't recommend them to anyone except those making custom images from them

ChaiQi•6/9/24, 3:32 PM

o.0 huh

ChaiQi•6/9/24, 3:32 PM

that definitely is new

HikariKnight•6/9/24, 3:33 PM

people 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

ChaiQi•6/9/24, 3:33 PM

Hmmm

HikariKnight•6/9/24, 3:33 PM

its been like that for some months now from my understanding

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 3:33 PM

Right, 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

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 3:33 PM

That decision is I think over 6 months old now

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 3:34 PM

It's also why the new website doesn't strongly emphasize their existence, and why we don't offer isos for them

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 3:34 PM

Just something we don't want normal users to be using as a desktop under any circumstance

ChaiQi•6/9/24, 3:34 PM

Ah. I have been somewhat out of the loop

HikariKnight•6/9/24, 3:35 PM

np it happens when youre busy

ChaiQi•6/9/24, 3:35 PM

Not really even busy tbh

HikariKnight•6/9/24, 3:35 PM

the base images are more of a byproduct from what we actually make

CChaiQi Not really even busy tbh

ChaiQi•6/9/24, 3:36 PM

Just.. 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

j0rge•6/9/24, 3:36 PM

that raid boss was slain

j0rge•6/9/24, 3:37 PM

mostly just waiting for the efficient downloads, everything else is basically done

ChaiQi•6/9/24, 3:38 PM

Yeah. The 'batteries included' bit which made a big difference initially compared to upstream Silverblue/Kinoite/etc was done a very long time ago

EEllis i ran ublue kinoite on my desktop for over a year

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/9/24, 3:39 PM

basically 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

ChaiQi•6/9/24, 3:40 PM

I see

DocMAX•6/9/24, 3:42 PM

who was working on sound with the steamdeck oled on the newer kernel?

linux_doggo•6/9/24, 3:43 PM

my taskbar keeps resetting itself

linux_doggo•6/9/24, 3:43 PM

every time i reboot my task manager is back to how bazzite has it out of the box

linux_doggo•6/9/24, 3:43 PM

thats really annoying

linux_doggo•6/9/24, 3:43 PM

every other thing about the taskbar stays the way i configured it

So bazzite and bluefin/aurora are base images or are recommended for daily use? Sorry, English isn't
