Bazaar lacks some basic functionality like update notifications and doesn’t integrate so well with KDE.

Nevermind, I was able to read the comments and the poster said “I WILL be open-sourcing the code ASAP, but I’m still working out exactly what that will look like, and I also have a few personal reasons for delaying.” So there’s not git yet for everybody else who is wondering.

I can’t watch the video, is there a link to a git somewhere?

Check both out over at https://distrosea.com/ to see which you like more. Also different DEs come with different standard apps like which text editor or terminal they use. If you do not have a preference there, it shouldn’t matter much. Also you can switch those out if one in particular isn’t to your liking.

Of course you can, why wouldn’t you? It’s Fedora Kinoite with added stuff for gaming. There is a special edition for devs in the making, in case you’re interested in keeping an eye on that: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/introducing-the-bazzite-developer-experience-alpha/7342/64

I doubt that would help, sadly. There is SO MUCH advice out there already, but people always think they are special and have a very rare and complicated use case.

Why not test Secureblue instead of Silverblue?

It’s not what OP asked for.

Forgive the not so serious remark: you can run Linux in Excel!

Sorry to hear you had trouble with the installation. Since we have such a vast variety of hardware, you will always find a person having trouble with a specific distro I believe. That’s why having so many to choose from is awesome - but also a bit daunting at the start. Glad it’s working now, hope it stays that way.

I remember you asking about what distro to pick, what a wonderful follow-up post. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Thanks for the explanation! I agree, this has been very helpful already. Now I go and do some reading on it.

Oh I see, thanks. I thought you could also edit images with Inkscape. I’m apparently not very well versed in these topics.

Curious why you would need Gimp and Inkscape? Wouldn’t one of them be enough? Is one of them better suited for certain tasks?

That’s not too hard a question for me, I’ve been using the same DE for years: KDE

And here’s KDE’s: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/design

LineageOS has instructions for Windows/Mac/Linux: https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide

Have a great time! Please let us, who have to stay at home, know how it went.

Their easy installer is why many people I know installed it, but it only supports 21 devices and mine wasn’t one of them, so I can’t say much about usability or security. If yours is one of them, there’s also a Linux guide on their website: https://doc.e.foundation/easy-installer
