Hopefully you’ve had time to read some ify the replies from the folks behind Bazzite.
I would argue that it’s not bad marketing because no one is marketing it. Universal Blue, and by extension Bazzite, is a purely FOSS, community run endeavor.
Just because cloud became an over used buzzword by tech vulture capitalists, doesn’t mean it doesn’t apply to what they’re doing, and it doesn’t mean that it’s suspicious.
Universal Blue is built by good folks making good shit.
Oh hey Jorge! 👋
I prefer Podman. But Docker can run rootless. It does run under root by default, though.
Diablo 3 has nearly infinitely scaling difficulty. If it was too easy, you were playing on too low of a difficulty.
I didn’t think it’s just Arch , though. IIRC it’s also immutable.
This is why. Not because your phone is listening to you.
I work from home and my office is in a basement with no heating or air conditioning. I use an electric radiating heater under the desk so that the heater is pretty close to my body. Yes, it does end up heating the room, but being close to it helps take the chill off. And it is only 700 watts max.
Of course I still have to wear warm clothes.
In previous years, I really struggled with my feet. But I recently bought a heated foot pocket thing, and I love it.
Now when it gets extremely cold outside I only have minor issues with my fingers and nose getting cold. Still not perfect, but close.
Caves of Qud. I was playing it when the clock hit midnight because I lost track of time.
I make a coffee flavored pudding by heating milk to 180F, stirring in ground coffee, waiting maybe 20-30 seconds, filtering out the grounds, and finally making pudding from that milk.
I have no idea what that milk would taste like, but the pudding is fantastic.
Valve bootlickers
It ain’t like that, kiddo. I support other stores like GoG, too. I just refuse to ever use EGS unless they completely change.
Please speak out acronyms once. I have no idea what ADP is.
Giants: Citizen Kabuto.
Black & White (with VR support).
Shattered Galaxy.
Crystalis.
It’s been so long since I’ve played these. I need to replay them.
And you sound like the entrenched Windows user who doesn’t realize all of the little things they’ve internalized to keep their system working the way they want to. I should know, I was one of those Windows users until recently.
Regarding other tools, they really aren’t necessary for most users. I don’t even use Distrobox. Flathub for UI apps, and Homebrew for CLI apps serves all of my needs.
I believe that Jorge Castro is right about the Linux desktop. It has failed, and it needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. And that’s what they’re doing. Universal Blue is a completely different mindset from traditional distros, and I think it’s the future.
And that’s the great thing about Linux. You can continue to use the old methods you’re used to and have built up 25 years of muscle memory around.
Universal Blue OSs (Bazzite, Bluefin, and Aurora) are actually way easier than immutable is made out to be.
For one thing, there is no such thing as keeping the system and packages up to date. That all happens automatically as long as you restart your computer every now and then.
It is true that if someone is looking up how to install something online it could be confusing. But anything in Flathub is obviously dead simple.
I think if there were better demos and tutorials, it would seem a lot easier.
For instance, if you can’t find something in Flathub, and the only instructions you can find are for installing in Ubuntu, all you have to do is use Boxbuddy/Distrobox and use an Ubuntu container and install it there using the instructions.
It really is the best of almost all worlds. Granted, this setup doesn’t work for 100% of software. But it works for the vast majority.
🎶 Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer true 🎶
Universal Blue is my go-to. Their OSs feel like the future. They are so easy to use and low maintenance. The upgrades happen in the background and apply automatically when you restart your computer.
There are three flavors: Bazzite for gaming Bluefin and Aurora for basic workstations and developers
I went with Aurora for myself because I like the developer focused stuff. But I also do a lot of gaming. Even though it’s not gaming focused, it’s still great for gaming.
My wife uses it on her laptop, too. She doesn’t give a shit what her OS is as long as it works and she can use the browser.
That’s the spirit!
15 inches would’ve been a big, luxurious monitor back then.
