Used to be base (do not use) -> main (use like upstream) -> featured/custom bazzite/bluefin/aurora/etc

CChaiQi Did this change at some point? Used to be base (do not use) -> main (use like up...

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

ChaiQiOP•6/9/24, 3:32 PM

o.0 huh

ChaiQiOP•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

ChaiQiOP•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

ChaiQiOP•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

ChaiQiOP•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

ChaiQiOP•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

ChaiQiOP•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

ChaiQiOP•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

linux_doggo•6/9/24, 3:44 PM

except for the task manager

Ttryhardsoccermomswag basically its a support thing. nobody is going to add major changes to the base...

ChaiQiOP•6/9/24, 3:46 PM

I suppose, between that and the snippets I've seen while checking in here occasionally to skim, it makes sense to de-emphasize the base images, for branding and marketing purposes. If the same things 'just work' on every version, then in my experience the people who want an upstream-like experience will probably loudly say so, and the featured/custom images would be what actually draw people to the project.

j0rge•6/9/24, 3:46 PM

yeah people who want an upstream experience usually know how to linux already
