I haven't noticed much so far on my images. But I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing something.

That said, it's definitely interesting not having the massive layers

Data points for rechunking:

My bluefin image is roughly 1 GB smaller now. According to Dive I went from 8.6 GB to 7.7 GB

M2OP•8/6/24, 1:39 AM

My bazzite image went from 13.9 GB to 12.4 GB

Gerblesh•8/6/24, 4:16 AM

one thing I did notice was the cosmic store doesn't function

Gerblesh•8/6/24, 4:16 AM

But idk if that's something wrong with the app not supporting silverblue or something else

antheas•8/6/24, 4:35 AM

How about update size?

antheas•8/6/24, 5:23 AM

Also nice

RealDishwash•8/6/24, 5:34 AM

where are the ujusts stored on the bluefin repo?

RealDishwash•8/6/24, 5:36 AM

ahh nvm i got it

antheas•8/6/24, 8:05 AM

@Gerblesh for cosmic prev ref should be the stable tag not true

antheas•8/6/24, 8:06 AM

So it can pull the manifest

Gerblesh•8/6/24, 8:16 AM

Thanks

Anyone on Cosmic, is it usable for daily driver ? I am on Bluefin but want to give a try

Switches•8/6/24, 9:29 AM

It's an alpha... so using it as a daily driver would be highly unlikely.

Switches•8/6/24, 9:30 AM

Maybe once it gets to Beta/RC it may be there, but afaik it doesn't even have all it's features/settings yet

Switches•8/6/24, 9:33 AM

Having said that though I guess a lot depends on what your using the machine for and how important any of the stuff on there is

Brtza•8/6/24, 9:33 AM

Ok, thanks. As I remember, soon it will be official release, but not sure is it alpha or beta

Switches•8/6/24, 9:33 AM

Should be the 8th

Switches•8/6/24, 9:34 AM

it's the Alpha release the builds there are at the moment are using basically like a preview of what will be released

GoneFormOfMan•8/6/24, 9:36 AM

I think it's pretty usable if you use it besides Gnome/KDE/DE-or-WM-of-choice, not sure if would use it as my sole DE, but I bet it's doable

Switches•8/6/24, 9:39 AM

It's got a lot of interest that's for sure!

bketelsen•8/6/24, 10:25 AM

i spent an hour in it yesterday and had two DE restarts. however, it’s really nice and I’m excited for the wrinkles to be ironed out

HikariKnight•8/6/24, 10:25 AM

same

HikariKnight•8/6/24, 10:25 AM

super excited

HikariKnight•8/6/24, 10:25 AM

kde tiling even with an addon is not quite there

HikariKnight•8/6/24, 10:26 AM

and i have too much workflow issues with gnome atm to use that so i rather sacrifice tiling for window snapping for now

HHikariKnight kde tiling even with an addon is not quite there

j.i.l.l•8/6/24, 10:36 AM

+ i asked one of the kde devs if they plan to add auto-tailing, to which i got a negative answer

HikariKnight•8/6/24, 10:37 AM

yeah from what i gathered they see window tiling as the same as wiindow snapping in zones

j.i.l.l•8/6/24, 10:38 AM

i do, it works better and faster than kde lol

Brtza•8/6/24, 10:40 AM

Thanks. Maybe it will be more stable in 2 days after official release:)

BBrtza Thanks. Maybe it will be more stable in 2 days after official release:)

j.i.l.l•8/6/24, 10:40 AM

it will be only alpha in 2 days, not release

antheas•8/6/24, 10:42 AM

With rechunk it should be straightforward to offer a live CD

antheas•8/6/24, 10:43 AM

Albeit with secure boot woes

antheas•8/6/24, 10:43 AM

Probably can drop a secondary kernel as a postprocessing step

antheas•8/6/24, 10:44 AM

From fedora

HikariKnight•8/6/24, 10:47 AM

yeah hopefully that would be possible

Aantheas How about update size?

M2OP•8/6/24, 11:05 AM

Definitely different. Updates seem to be more spread across different layers now

Aantheas With rechunk it should be straightforward to offer a live CD

Noel•8/6/24, 11:14 AM

How would that work? I would LOVE to have that as an option for the deck images.

Noel•8/6/24, 11:15 AM

For the deck images lol

antheas•8/6/24, 11:15 AM

Put the OCI image in a squashfs and have lorax deploy the embedded commit

antheas•8/6/24, 11:15 AM

Anaconda etc

Noel•8/6/24, 11:16 AM

Live OS would allow users to install using a touch keyboard which would be huge.

Noel•8/6/24, 11:17 AM

And they could test drive before committing to a full install.

antheas•8/6/24, 11:22 AM

Dunno how good of an idea is testing through a USB stick

antheas•8/6/24, 11:22 AM

Might give a bad impression

Aantheas Dunno how good of an idea is testing through a USB stick

Noel•8/6/24, 11:26 AM

Expectations have always been a live USB stuck is not the same as an actual install.

Noel•8/6/24, 11:26 AM

Gives someone an opportunity to look at Bazzite though before they install.

antheas•8/6/24, 11:27 AM

I don't think a lot of our users will have those preconceptions

Aantheas I don't think a lot of our users will have those preconceptions

Noel•8/6/24, 11:28 AM

That's true. There certainly hasn't been a demand for one. Only smaller ISOs which a net install would help solve.

I haven't noticed much so far on my images. But I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing something. T
