- Flatpak, create a shell script to call the flatpak command and pass arguments
- If the app doesn’t work well as a flatpak or isn’t packaged, I would use distrobox
- If the app doesn’t work well in distrobox, I’d rpm-ostree install it
- If I’m feeling fancy, I might look into installing homebrew. But you need to do some workarounds with PATH and homebrew otherwise it can break things; Universal Blue includes these workarounds out of the box
Fedora Silverblue
- I like Gnome
- I like that Fedora adopts new technology quickly
- I like how it makes updates more reliable
- I like flatpak
Preferably the drivers and quirks of the hardware would all be patched upstream so that you don’t need to use a distro with the fixes patched in.
A good place to start is the "Water Cooler" section of the Fedora Discourse: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/fun/8
I hear that Gnome can struggle on touchscreens due to some GTK bugginess.
Plasma is probably a good bet since it has a dedicated touch friendly mode and is tested on the Steam Deck, which has a touch screen.
There’s third party Appimages. They also had a blog post discussing using Appimages for testing builds. If that gets done, I don’t see why they wouldn’t offer an official build.
Makes sense that it includes snap given that KDE officially supports their apps packaged as snaps, unlike Gnome.
If I recall correctly, aren’t they going for an Arch base? I assume they’re going to be enabling AppArmor so that the snap sandboxing is mostly working, except for the patches Canonical have failed to upstream so far.
Drew started the project but he isn’t really involved anymore. Simon Ser is the lead maintainer now.
Note that this article is from 2022, albeit with an update in 2024.
I was confused when they mentioned they upgraded from Debian bullseye, were using an old Firefox version, and had to explicitly enable Wayland for Firefox. I then saw the date of the post.
With 2024.10, Bitwarden could no longer be built without their proprietary SDK.
That was deemed a bug and now the SDK is also licensed under the GPL.

The big thing it has going for it is that they set up btrfs snapshots out of the box so you can rollback if necessary.
They also do more automated testing than Arch so theoretically it should be more stable.
