@badnetmask Right now there are two paths:

It should be possible to migrate from an existing Bluefin bootc image to a new GNOME OS one. Hoping to support that migration path but that is currently not possible.

The ddi Bluefin with updatectl, etc. is a reinstall though.

The source is the same though so they'll be "the same" just delivered different.

@badnetmask You are the famous one my friend!

@badnetmask @homebrew No this is linux distribution agnostic (That's the whole point) - should work on everything.

@badnetmask And we can start by giving them a better experience. We can't give them that unless #flathub can ensure that the delivery mechanism goes from app developer to end user.

No gatekeepers.

@killyourfm Oh man if we lose then that means we have to claw our way back after such a bold statement. 😈

This will be such a cool challenge, I'm all in.

@killyourfm Also, you poor, poor man, doing all that tough work ... all day even?

@killyourfm Oh man please tell me you're writing this up.

I need more data!

Tom's Guide brings out the numbers on #bazzite performance vs. Windows on the ROG Ally X.

It's not pretty for one of our competitors.

@aral @dave the issue is the homebrew installer puts brew in your path. This can break things. If you `brew install ffmpeg` for example, it pulls in a pk11 library that breaks flatpaks.

Our solution was to only set the path on an interactive terminal, which is where you're using your CLI apps. We haven't found problems with this setup so far. I'm hoping to interact with more homebrew folks and see how people can help make it better on Linux.

Haha, let's goooooooooooo!

@forteller Not much we can do about the installer or the mok stuff. The update tool for rpm-ostree also doesn't have a progress indicator so not much we can do about that either.

The other stuff we'll take a look at though, thanks!

@clacke @tootbrute They should, but apparently gnome and kde step on each in the home directory.

If you create a new user with a fresh home it works fine, we've got an open issue for a "powerwash" style reset for something like that.

But also seriously programs should never touch other programs home directories that's just icky.

@tootbrute Yeah desktops step on each other in your home directory, it's silly and should be fixed.

@craigmaloney @UniversalBlue Don't get all Rick Harding on me. CLI4LYFE.

Alright ya nerds! @UniversalBlue has been working on a distrobox whose entire job is to be the perfect distrobox. Just give me every CLI thing I could ever want in one box.

So we mashed wolfi and brew together to create a containerized CLI experience you can run anywhere. atuin, starship, uutils, _all_ that stuff. Give it a shot!

@UniversalBlue Here you go @craigmaloney ... try all the new fangled stuff, and all the bling is self contained so your host remains clean.
