You're probably familiar with the old model. BTW, we're still at the "the halo is ugly" phase, but that's only because we've normalized blaming users for not being sysadmins. Alonso, Grosjean, and Hamilton all escaped serious injury and now we can't imagine drivers being subjected to that level of risk. Lots of the criticism around this style of OS is around the "limitations", however I see them more as seatbelts.īefore F1 implemented the Halo a loud group of people thought "it was ugly" and took away from the sport. Just about everything I do on Silverblue is the same as I would do on normal Fedora, the differences are small in the grand scheme of things, but those small changes are totally alien compared to the old way of doing things. If you're a new user and don't have any habits to break, then this might be a good starting point – however this technology is fast moving, those of us who have been using Linux for years are only now just starting to realize the potential here, and in most cases you're better off with the mountains of documentation for the more traditional methods. If you're patient and recognize the reasons for changing how you operate your computer you'll have a better understanding of why things are. This is a a paradigm shift, you will need to change some things, and learn new things. ![]() ![]() If you think you're going to shift to Silverblue and just use it like you use Linux today then you're going to have a bad time. OSes like Silverblue are a shift from how people traditionally use "Linux desktops". A normal GNOME desktop, Fedora host, with Arch and Ubuntu toolboxes. And hopefully save yourself some time.īefore we start, I maintain a list of awesome immutable links that you should check out, and don't forget to check out the distro documentation for either Fedora or OpenSUSE's microOS if that's your flavor. In this post I hope to go over some of the ways that you can set yourself up for success, set realistic expectations, and then try it. ![]() TLDR: Fedora Silverblue is a variant of Fedora, however there seems to be confusion on exactly what the day-to-day differences are. I went on the Linux Downtime podcast to talk about this, consider it the audio version of this post.
