Interesting. Do they point to arch repos or provide their own like Manjaro? I haven’t thought about a rolling release atomic distro before.
Just the Arch repos with an additional repository (similar to EndeavourOS), so AUR packages do work as intended and are in fact officially supported.
(disclaimer: blendOS dev here)
I used to Arch, now I’m on ublue-kinoite with an Arch distrobox. Is there a reason to consider switching? (actual genuine question, not trolling)
Sweet, been waiting for this one. I wonder how it will compare to NixOS or Kinoite.
*Fedora Atomic
Its a huge bundle of tons of variants, likely 40 or so, if you take everything that uBlue, wayblue and secureblue produce
And that’s without counting the roll-your-own variants. uBlue has been a remarkable project.
- Fedora Atomic has been a remarkable project ;D
Fedora builds the container images, even though they themselves use OSTree remotes. There is a Change Proposal to change to them.
This means they continuously build the container images without even using them!
Only because of that the standard container workflow actions (they use an Ubuntu container!) even work. But for sure their tooling is very useful
How does it compare to NixOS rolling?
I don’t think that this one is as reproducible and declarative as NixOS or Guix.
A very dumb question probably, but I’m new to using Linux so I lack a lot of understanding: I’m on Bazzite atm. Would there be a simple way to switch to blend OS without wiping everything? Like a rebase? Probably not but I figured it’s worth a shot to ask xD
No such thing, we all start somewhere! :)
Anyway, you could in fact do that if you were thinking of trying out other Fedora Atomic images such as Silverblue and whatnot (see also the ublue page listing tons of others, including your bazzite!). This uses different tooling, so unfortunately not in this case.
bazzite is fedora based? If so, your filesystem is btrfs and your /home is a subvolume, same as your / (root). you can install a new operating system in a btrfs subvolume (e.g. /blendosroot), then have systemd-boot or grub mount it as root and mount your existing home from it.
sadly, there’s no noob-friendly way to achieve this, but if you’re adventurous, you have enough search terms to make it happen.
