Move your stuff from Gandi to Netim.com

Gandi got acquired and has done some very weird shit with pricing.

So what does immutable mean?

The easiest explanation is: You can’t screw it up :)

That’s the reason I use it. It means that the system areas are read-only, and as a user you can’t “wreck” anything by mistake.

Try Bazzite:

https://bazzite.gg/

It will give you an experience that’s familiar compared to the Steam Deck, and everything will “just work” out of the box.

It already has Steam installed and is a great desktop for general use.

They have significant documentation, and anything not covered here is just part of Fedora atomic:

https://docs.bazzite.gg/

It would be whatever Fedora is doing in stable, but that seems unlikely. I’m sure the internet has the answer.

I’ve been on the latest branch for a year and it’s been rock solid across 2 different laptops.

Pick one of the stable channels from Universal Blue. You get the Fedora atomic goodness, but “ready” rather than “mostly ready”.

Consider 0patch before you give up on windows

Unless there’s a very specific application need, I think the most sensible thing would be to ditch Windows. Better for security, better for the world to increase the mainstreaming of Linux.

It’s for a streaming service.

You know the build scripts which turn Fedora Kinoite into Bazzite are all open on GitHub, right… 🤦

Explain how you can shill for a free product which makes no money?

I don’t use Bazzite, but I’m glad to see immutable distros being mentioned as they’re the only sensible option for OP’s use-case

Try Aurora which is Kinoite with some nice extras added

That was the “just works Windows killer” for me.

You can rebase directly to it to just try it out, and simply rebase back to standard Kinoite if you don’t like it.

You can use Immich Public Proxy to share the albums without having to expose your Immich instance. You can use all the normal Immich options - password protected albums, and links that expire, etc

Sure, I was just expanding on OP’s Kinoite comment.

Aurora can however go weeks or months without a reboot (you don’t HAVE to update), so that’s still ok.

Put Aurora on it - an improved version of Kinoite.

Go back and look at all the good faith replies to you, and notice that you haven’t replied in kind. You seem like you have a strong and incorrect agenda to push, without being willing to take on any new information which people are providing to you.

You only harm yourself by being fixed in your mindset. There is a very strong correlation between success and people who are able to take on information and grow.

For distrobox, you can export your CLI tools, then use them anywhere in your system:

distrobox-export --bin /usr/bin/some_app --export-path ~/.local/bin

Alternatively you could distrobox enter from the Jetbrains terminal.

I would generally use brew for installing system-wide CLI tools, and use a devcontainer if I want to have a specific dev environment for a project.

ujust jetbrains-toolbox

No need for distrobox for that - it’s a built-in ujust command, put there by the creators of uBlue. It really has everything you need out of the box.

More info in the docs: https://docs.projectbluefin.io/bluefin-dx#jetbrains

In the Filesystem section for that app in Flatseal, you need to add the path to your NAS drive (the same SMB path that it’s mounted in the Files app). That will give your FF flatpak access to that location.

I use Proton Drive on Librewolf on Bluefin without issues, so that seems a little odd. It might be an issue with what access you’ve given the fkatpak. Flatseal is the right place to look.

Using brew is the recommended method on uBlue, so you’re already doing the right thing.

That being said, I use Jetbrains and devcontainers on Bluefin-DX and it’s been flawless for me, straight out of the box.
