From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bluefin/Aurora adoption takes a bit longer because developers have to adjust their workflows, and there’s still this odd stigma around atomics.

Bluefin maintainer here, our target audience are container people, not people who want to adjust their workflows. The people we cater to don't have an opinion on "atomics" because no one's ever heard of that term. They've heard of docker or podman though.

Joke's on you, Jorge. I use U-Blue just for the great general purpose desktop experience.

I honestly don't know what any of that means. I use Bazzite for automatic updates, Gnome extensions, Portal/ujust commands, update rollbacks, and game mode/Gamescope. It's simply the most usable distro I've found. Bazaar is a nice bonus too. Gnome Software has infuriated me for a long time and I feel like a crazy person because no one talks about it.

I used Nobara for about a month and was constantly pestered with update notifications. There were multiple updaters, I didn't really understand how to use either of them, and they required a lot of manual input. Eventually I tried to do something else while the updater was running and broke it.

He's not talking about Bazzite, though. Bluefin and Aurora are built from the same cloud tech as Bazzite, but are more focused towards devs, specifically devs who use containers.

I actually just switched from Bazzite to Bluefin on my devices, even my gaming PC

Mostly because I wanted a more minimal/essential experience with less pre-installed packages

I'm sure I'm sacrificing a little gaming performance, but nothing noticeable by me so far
