Hey there, for a very simple start there’s the compose.yaml
file at the bottom of my comment here.

Hmm, well Fedora on its own (so no Silverblue) is very much your classic way of shipping a distro. That tends to mean that, over time, “cruft” accumulates as you upgrade your system, uninstall/reinstall packages, etc. They leave bits of themselves behind that can cause unwanted behavior.
Fedora Silverblue, that Bluefin is based on, treats the entire system layer as “immutable”. Basically, it ensures consistency so that upgrades and package upgrades don’t leave the system in an inconsistent state.
What Bluefin adds on top of this is a set of opinionated, pre-configured layers suited for getting particular groups of tasks done. Those layers are also immutable and tested as a whole, which makes shipping those layers at velocity easy (faster upgrades, less wonky behavior on upgrade) and easy to swap between, so you can go from gaming to developer mode without worrying about an accumulation of cruft.
Is that helpful at all? There’s also this announcement blog post, which I found very helpful in understanding the value proposition.
Because it uses OCI images, it auto-updates like a Chromebook, and you can switch between modes, like say a gaming mode that’s a full SteamOS replacement, to a mode that gives you an entire development environment without needing to install and configure these layers or stacks of capabilities yourself.
That’s very powerful. For cloud native developers like myself who are used to working with container images as the deliverable artifact, this makes that workflow very easy. Podman is included. You can create entire development environments at will that are totally “pure”: no side effects because everything you need is in the container. That’s a Dev Container.
I’ve never experienced any bugs with the new topics feature.
I use and love Telegram. I use almost all of its features. All of its clients are open source. It has an incredible API for writing bots (which I also do). Their desktop Linux app is native! When I’m traveling I use Stories to share the experience with friends and family. I love the new topics to separate group discussions. It’s the one app I’ve been able to onboard absolutely everyone to. I was never able to do the same when I tried to with Matrix and you only get so many chances before people stop moving.
What is crufty garbage to you?
What has GOG done for Linux? I care about OSS and companies supporting my preferred OSS operating system. To that end, Valve continues to be a steward without peer.
Freelancer, to this day, remains one of my all-time favorite games for capturing the magic of space exploration. If Freelancer was born from this dude’s mind, I will happily wait for Star Citizen.
It does! I use the Omnivore and Vim plugins. There’s a ton available including a GPT one.
I’m glad you enjoy it! I love the daily journal it opens into. It works like my mind works, from gross to fine. Ramses Oudt has a 70 minute intro to Logseq I can’t recommend enough.
Thank you! One problem: I need to export my tabs from Firefox Mobile and Tab Stash isn’t compatible.
Pixel Fold. I had a lot of concerns about durability with the scare stories the media has reported but everything about it is fantastic. Big fan of the giant viewfinder and using the rear cam for selfies. The reading experience unfolded feels like reading a paperback. Side-by-side apps unlock a whole new productive side.
I use Logseq ;-)
I looked up Tree Style Tab, Tabby and Tab Stash another poster recommended but none of them are compatible with Firefox Mobile so this won’t work unless I can force compatibility.
In the spirit of answering a question of genuine interest, it’s because tabs are much easier to process out on desktop, whether to read-it-later archives like Pocket or Omnivore or to project folders or tasks. I’d just sync them up and call it a day but I lost my moment when my tabs crept up over one hundred. There’s a lot of good research there, whether for work or home programming projects.
It doesn’t work well for more than a hundred or so tabs.
I run Guix System on my personal laptop and Project Bluefin on my work machine.
Guix is even easier to get started with now thanks to the Guix Packager , a web UI for writing Guix package definitions.
Project Bluefin auto-updates thanks to its use of container images deliver system updates. It’s also just a great platform to get started writing containerized apps, since it ships with rootless Podman by default and you can easily add new developer tools using
just
commands.
