Hi I'm the guy who posted the report. Your quote is exactly what it is, we use cloud native server tech to make Bazzite. Things like bootc, podman, OCI containers, etc.
all I want to run is a “normal” PC with a Linux distro.
That's exactly what's happening!
I don’t want is to have it running, or heavily integrated in some proprietary-ish cloud.
It does, just not ours, Valve runs that part. 😼 I'm happy to answer specific questions if you have any!
Why would editing /etc be a problem?
The noto fonts are in the main images, which bazzite is built from: https://github.com/ublue-os/main/blob/main/packages.json
Feel free to file issues there!
The entire purpose is to conveniently access your files, so if that's a problem use containers normally or pass a -h during distrobox create if you want to isolate home directories.
This was a server issue, you can always report an issue in github and we'll take a look, it took 10m to fix. But crucially it found an edge case that we hadn't accounted for and haven't run into so far, so we'll work on making sure this won't happen again: https://github.com/ublue-os/main/issues/643
Thanks for the kind words! <3
bluefin/aurora co-maintainer here, the 1password ssh agent is a miniboss we haven't conquered yet, just a heads up.
She only suggested a small “news channel” built into the OS.
Yeah we're working on that here: https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/issues/1485
The failure with secure boot afterwards is news to me, we'll investigate, thanks!
Did you experience the Silverblue issue on a ublue image? We mitigated that last month so you should only have one problem or the other, not both.
there are a lot of tools included that are new to me, despite being a cloud-oriented developer.
Interesting! What tools do you commonly use?
We probably won't (we're not looking to grow that much anymore), but I think someone should definitely take either portainer or the proxmox stack and just slap it on top a CoreOS image with a user friendly installer and make a killer SMB server.
Yes, bootc containers are OCI containers, the major difference is there's a kernel in there.
