Ok thanks for clearing it up nationality wasn't mentioned? You could find the equivalent for US I imagine. I was confused -1 for trying to help good stuff 🤣

Another example of people thinking they can't be who they really are, so choose to hate the ones who can.

Hey thanks, that looks really interesting.

Immutable Containerisation/distrobox just clicked with me (feddit.uk)
 

So I've been really interested in immutable OS's since Silverblue, kept jumping off and on again as I hit what I thought were brick walls. I was just not approaching them properly.

I've been using Bluefin for work for the last 6 months and started making distrobox containers for projects. One thing I always ended up with was a load of mess with pip or NPM, so the idea I can just jump into a container for that specific project was really appealing.

But it never occurred to me, I can do this for everything, I know this is something that has been done before, but I've just stumbled on it. I made a distrobox container using boxbuddy that used the arch-bazzite-gnome image, called it arch-gaming. This has given me a containerised gaming setup that runs like arch native. I can just chuck all my gaming stuff through that and box buddy auto exports the icons into the app menu, so the GUI side of things is sorted. As it's bazzite the nvidia drivers and steam are all ready to go I installed lutris that was it.

The added bonus of bluefin is that I don't need rpm-ostree for anything, languages are handled by brew, apps with flatpak, and now the aur for anything niche or apps I want to use in a more traditional setting.

I now have a portable, reproducible system that should be pretty robust.

Redditors are always right, peer reviewed papers always wrong. Pretty obvious really. :D

Great to see Cinnamon keeps on trucking and like XFCE has a solid following.

How I install Mullvad on Silverblue based distros and add repos (feddit.uk)
 

One of the things I struggled with initailly when using immutables was installing programs like VPNS that need to interact with the immutable parts of the distro but don't have a flatpak option. I figured I'd just make a post to help anyone with this specific issue regarding mullvad or if it helps people install other software they need.

Adding the repo

Jump into a location to download the repo file

cd Downloads/

Download the repo

wget https://repository.mullvad.net/rpm/stable/mullvad.repo

copy the repo file to the yum.repos.d folder

sudo cp mullvad.repo /etc/yum.repos.d

Install mullvad vpn

rpm-ostree install mullvad-vpn

Reboot to reimage

systemctl reboot

Join the client to the service

sudo systemctl enable --now mullvad-daemon

Install libappindicator that at the time wasn't included in Kinoite

sudo rpm-ostree install libappindicator-gtk3

Reboot to reimage

systemctl reboot
