It
's an alpha

. so using it as a daily driver would be highly unlikely

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

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

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

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

And they could test drive before committing to a full install

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

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

That
's true
. There certainly hasn
't been a demand for one

but for that

There is an option to do net installs
, but anaconda does not have retries built in when using that method
.
N
Noel

8/6/24, 11:33 AM
We are already using a patched anaconda
, might be trivial to implement that
? Not really sure on the details of it
