Amazing stuff Bluefin-DX really changed the way I setup and maintain my progjects in a good way.

What do you do differently? I’ve been on Bluefin for 2 years but still never bothered with dev containers or anything

Generally take a more containerised approach to my development, before I just had one big folder for projects and various others. It made me figure out how to be more organised especially with dependancies and folder layout.

The future is looking bright for bazzite

I just installed it today! It’s so easy to set up and use, games have been working right out of the box and I like the security of rollback updates. I’m brand new to Linux and i think it has the potential to convert people over

It started as an experiment to get off the Windows 11 train wreck for me and now I can’t imagine ever going back. Linux is so far ahead, it’s not even a competition.

I mean that’s a bit of a general statement. But Some distros are very good, for laptops however? Power management is a chore and most fixes for that don’t work that well on either Bluefin or Bazzite.

I get 10+ hours on Aurora-DX + AMD laptop. I think AMD might be the part which makes the big difference.

No special config, just out of the box.

Ngl I’ve downloaded it to my laptop and I haven’t had to do anything. Everything has just worked so far. And if something stops working, the immutability means I can just roll back an update

princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 13 Mar 12:05 next collapse

Oh awesome! I looked into rolling my own image to combine Aurora-DX with Bazzite about a month or so ago, but I’ve been really busy since and hadn’t made much of a start. This is really exciting to see, will rebase over on my desktop as soon as NVIDIA gets support.

Bazzite is stuffed full of polish, especially the Gnome variant and, little known to me at the time, they have a whole set of non-gaming-related tools in the background for developers who use containers (distrobox, podman etc), which is exactly what I use for my job.

I was so impressed that I have installed it as my main OS on my laptop and have replaced SteamOS with it on my SteamDeck.

This distro is one of the best I have used. It is definitely one to keep an eye on.

I love Bazzite and Bluefin. I use the former on my personal machines and the latter on my work laptop. I wonder how Bazzite DX will compare to Bluefin? I’m also curious if there’s a difference between Bluefin and Bluefin DX or if they just started tacking on the extra letters recently?

The marketing sounded interesting, but after a bit of digging I realized I’m not the target audience. As a turn-key solution for non-Linux people however it seems to be making great strides.
