Almost ready to wipe my Tumbleweed laptop and start fresh again. Currently leaning towards Bazzite for more stability, easier/supported app installs, and official Framework support. Wondering about app freshness on Bazzite though.
I do need to look more into atomic distros vs rolling (EndeavourOS is also on the table), and how much RedHat controls the Fedora project.
@Taffer@mastodon.gamedev.placeBazzite uses Homebrew for command-line apps? That seems extremely odd. Maybe this is normal on atomic Linux distros?
@Taffer I think it is because of helping folks move from macOS?
@Taffer, yeah, they mentioned this in the Apps section of https://bazzite.gg/.
Honestly, I'm keen to give it a try myself for daily-driving as productivity + gaming on the side.
@Taffer we use brew for Universal Blue projects (Bazzite, Bluefin, Aurora, etc) because 1) helps people already familiar with it from MacOS. 2) traditional package managers that you're thinking about using (apt, dnf, etc) don't work in the atomic model that Fedora uses. It's a work in progress. But that brings me to 3) brew stores its packages in a format thats completely separate from traditional package managers... Almost like it's an overlay on what's already there... And that makes it perfect and useful for atomic setups!
@Taffer as for app freshness, you should be close to cutting edge, not quite arch but thanks for the atomic infrastructure we're able to pull in the latest things (like drivers) and test them extensively before shipping them out. Apps are completely separate from the distribution. So as soon as they're available from wherever you're getting them from (Flathub, brew, etc) you'll get em!
